Grandma and Grandpa Laws 60th wedding anniversary

Last night was Grandma and Grandpa Laws' 60th wedding anniversary party. Despite the 100 degree weather, we all met at their house in Layton for a big party with cake and ice cream. Our kids loved seeing their cousins and it was fun to see everyone. Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa Laws! We love you!

Splash Pad!!!

We are lucky to have a fun splash pad close to our house. Especially when we have triple digit heat like we are having this week. Tonight we got pizza and had a little picnic and then let the kids run wild. Darrin and Holly came and Payton had fun with Carter, Cambree and Calee.

Giant Rice Krispie treat!

Took the kids out for slurpees tonight and Calee found this giant Rice Krispie Treat. I didn't know that they even made them that big. She looked so funny holding it,  that I just had to take this picture.

Baby Zane!

Our girls love their new cousins Zane and Ayverie. Tonight we went and visited Darrin and Holly and our girls got to hold Zane.

Summer and Swimming

We buy these cheap silly pools each year for the kids and they swim practically every day with their friends.
Cambree, Calee, and Kelsey were swimming today and acting silly

Calee's bed

We are always trying to get our kids to make their beds. Well, this summer, Shandi is watching them during the day and she has been helping them make sure they make their beds. This is what I saw when I came home today. I thought it was really cute how Calee had lined up all of her stuffed animals on her bed.

Megan's Farewell

Our cousin Megan had her missionary farewell today. She will be serving as a  missionary in Japan. We are so excited for her and so proud of her. She is going to be an awesome missionary. We will miss her a lot, but we know that she is doing the right thing by serving a mission and she is such a great example to our kids. We love Megan and Carlie and we will be praying for them while they are both serving in Japan. Good luck Megan!!! We love you!!!

Pleasant View Founders Day

It was Founders Day and I had to work at the fire station. Christy and the kids went to the parade. I was supposed to be in the parade, in the ambulance, but we were called to a traffic accident right before the parade started. We were able to attend the car show and the salmon fry. Of course the best part of the night was the fire works. All of the firefighters families were able to come sit up in the driving range parking light where they light the fireworks off. We had front row seats to all the action. This year was especially exciting, because we had a bunch of trees catch on fire next to the school, and it was roaring pretty good by the time we all got to it. It was fun day and fun night.

the new kayak!

I played in a Weber County Sheriff golf tournament at the Barn this morning. The weather was perfect and our team played awesome, but the highlight was winning a kids kayak in the raffle. Our kids were super excited about it and can't wait to try it out. They wanted to play with it in the middle of the family room floor, so I let them and I took this picture.

Monsters University

Monsters University came out in theatres today! We went and saw it in 3D today and it was awesome! Our kids loved it. Here they are in their cool 3D glasses.

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Dube'

It has been awhile since we have visited Grandma and Grandpa Dube'. Our kids were so excited to see them this evening. It was fun to sit and talk with them and tell them all about our cruise. They each gave our kids something tonight. Grandpa Dube' gave Carter his gold seiko watch that he has worn forever. Carter thought that was pretty cool. It was a very fun and very special night. We just love them so much!
