First Day of School

Yea!! Today is the 1st day of school. 2nd Son is going into 3rd grade and 1st Son is in 5th grade. They were both really excited when we took them to school. I am hoping that they both have really good years this year.

Paul McCartney

I am still trying to catch up on summer-sorry!! In July we were able to go see Paul McCartney in concert. Chris is a huge Beatles so when Paul McCartney announced that he was come to Salt Lake we made sure we got tickets. We enjoyed all the music but especially all the Beatles music. Chris was in heaven and I was grateful we were able to go.

4th of July Weekend Part 2

Warning there are a lot of pictures!!! We have a tradition to go see the Kaysville City Parade on the 4th of July. This year was a little bit different because my niece was being baptized so in the morning we went to see her get baptized and then hurried home right in time for the picnic at our neighbors house.

Grandma Layton bought all the kids cowboy hats which Princess loved and wore everywhere all day long.

Little Man and I eating a brownie. So good!!

Our neighors also had a pinata for the kids which was a huge hit.

That night was went back to our neighbors who live across the street from Davis High School so we could watch the fireworks. While we waited we played with glow sticks which the kids had a blast with.

4th of July Weekend Part 1

Friday night we had a neighborhood party at our friends house. We had a great time visiting, playing, and doing fireworks. I love our neighborhood and all the amazing people who lives by us.

Little Man and his cute friend who is 2 days younger than him.

Thanks Falks for a great night. We had a lot of fun.

EFY in Santa Barbara

On June 19 we flew with Little Man to California. It was Little Man's 1st airplane ride and he did great. He slept for 15 minutes and that was it, but the rest of the time he just looked out the window or played. We flew into LAX and then drove up to where Chris served his mission in Simi Valley and visited with his California mom-Kim. We had a great visit and went to church with them the next morning.

Little Man in the hotel while we were getting ready for church. I love that smile!!

These are the amazing counselors that we got to serve with all week. EFY stands for Especially for Youth and is a week long summer camp put on my our church. Chris and I went as the session directors and were able to take Little Man with us. Through out the week Chris will teach a group of about 500 youth 11 times. He is an amazing teacher and loves to up in front a huge crowd. I, on the other hand, get scared to death so he does all of the teaching and I just get to watch and enjoy.

Nap time.

Pizza Night!!!

The incredible BC and coordinators that we absolutely love!!!

Tuesday and Friday night they have a dance. We stayed up top and watch because it was so loud and Little Man doesn't like tons of noise.

UCSB (University of California Santa Barbara) where EFY was held is right on the beach so during one of our breaks we went down and enjoyed the beach. We tried to have Little Man walk in the sand but he wanted nothing to do with it.
