Flaming Gorge Trip














For my birthday Tom took us to Flaming Gorge on the new boat. We camped, tubed and just played - it was awesome! I love that place. Jayde was awesome. We camped by some people who had some little kids who Jayde played with all night and had a blast. We will be back soon!

Tom's nieces (Samantha, Becca) came to visit us with their grandparents (Vicki and Dan who are the parents of the girl's mother). They were spending last week in Utah with them and came to have dinner at our house one night. They are both getting so big. These are Tom's brothers children from California.

Running through the sprinklers with Aunt Chelsea





Chelsea (Tom's sister) talked Jayde into running through the sprinklers at our house. She loved it! Although Chelsea had to do it with her. I love Jayde's little facial expressions. She was soaking wet, then she had to ride her bike through the sprinklers.

Putting Papa to Work




Here is the game, Papa or Grandma sit waiting with the broom in hand. Jayde pours Papa's rocks (which if you know my father he racks his rocks to make sure they look perfect) onto the sidewalk, where they have to look through the rocks with their fingers for ants or earwigs, which if you find some you smash, then Papa or Grandma have to sweep the rocks off the sidewalk. This is usually a constant game or work while at their house. She loves it!

4th of July





We went to the Ogden parade then picked up Tom's sister Chelsea from the airport. She spent the week with us looking at the area. Chelsea, Jayde and I went to mom and dad's for a few days to ride 4-wheelers and light fireworks. Jayde just loves ice cream, as does every child, but even Hope liked the ice cream cone too. By the way - sorry dad I forgot to do poopy patrol before we left - opps.

Jayde Riding the Horse





Here is Jayde riding the neighbors horse last night. She gets to go over every night and feed the horses and get the eggs from the chickens, but last night she got to ride the horse with our neighbor girls (her two best friends). Our neighbor Wendy, my good friend, led the horse. Jayde is so good at being quiet, holding on tight and sitting still on the horse. She loved it!
