Summer Fun


Emma, Kena, and Ally "Snack Pack Finger Painting" (yes Kenadee still has a binkie and she is almost two. The kid just won't give it up. and don't even get me started on her "yellow blankie" Ugh!)

So far we have had a great summer! I'm a pretty big loser at snapping pictures of our family activities and this I regret... so I will have to try harder at that. For now here is a quick run down of our adventures!

- Kenadee has Loved and I mean LOVED the park this year! We have gone at least once a week and she can't get enough!! I think she would live on a swing if she could!

-Kenadee loves hanging out with Emma too and we have been so glad to have them around for a couple of months! She also Loves her cousin Ally and basically worships her) They have loved picnics, snack pack finger painting, slippin slide/sprinklers and playing with Thumper our kind of creepy cat.

-We went to Bear Lake this past weekend and played in the water and camped. Kenadee loved the water and pretended to "swim" for hours! When Grandpa Vern asked her if she was a fish she said " I'm not a fish. I'm a girl! and a Kena!" I think she was a little insulted!

-We went to see the Blanks aka Teds Band at the Layton Amphitheater. (We are big scrubs fans!) I'm pretty sure we were the only people under 50 there too but it was still fun to see Ted and his buddies perform live! Kenadee wasn't a huge fan though. After the first song she kept saying "I don't want them to sing anymore" so it was a long night for her!

- Skyler had his company party at classic skating which we thought would be pretty lame to say the least since neither of us had snow balled since the 3rd grade! But... it turned out to be Really Fun!! We had a karaoke room complete with disco ball and a stage, we had a geat time on the blow up slides and bounce houses. Kenadee would go down the little slide and run over to us and give us both a big high five and then go again! She was so proud of herself! The best part was definitely the water slides though! Much faster than you might think! And Kenadee went down all of them with us! Man she is getting brave!

- We also enjoyed GI JOE and Transformers at the drive in movie... sadly... I didn't even make it through the first movie! Skyler was a little bummed about that! I ended up just having wierd dreams about Optimus Prime! Kenadee thought it was cool to watch tv in the car though!

- The Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House was also a lot of fun and so neat to get to take Kena and Ally inside such a beautiful building! Kenadee loves "Jesus Temples" and can spot one a mile away! sometimes any big building is a Jesus Temple to her! It can be pretty funny sometimes! We were sitting in the sealing room when out of nowhere Ally lifter up her shirt to show us a tattoo of nemo she had stuck on her belly earlier that day! it was pretty hard not to laugh at that!!


-We have also had lots of weddings, reunions, birthday parties etc... and have enjoyed spending some quality time with family! My grandpa and skyler's grandma both celebrated their 90th birthdays this year! We are so lucky to have them in our lives and we love them so much!

That concludes our summer fun for this year! Now the fun really starts since Skyler will be starting school tomorrow! more to come on that:)

I have that Adobe Photo thing to give back to you. I did finally get it downloaded, but still trying to figure it out!! Anywho, to get it back to you that would mean we'd actually have to oh I don't know, get together sometime!!
