Experiment with Cousins

With Summer and 5 kids you have to get creative with keeping them busy.  We decided to do an experiment.  You put baking soda into a balloon and vinegar into the water bottle and then cover the bottle with the balloon.  It then blows up the balloon.  The boys loved it!!!

We finished the day off with pool and sprinklers

St. George Visits to see Grandparents

Great Grandma and Grandpa Waite moved to St. George a few months back so we have tried to visit them as much as possible.

Great Grandpa ended up in the hospital for a little bit so went to see him.

While up there we wanted to take the kids somewhere fun to make the most of the trip.  We found an arcade, mini golf, laser tag place close by so we took the kids there for a few hours.

Jade loved playing laser tag.  Davyn was scared at first and would only stay by me but he eventually loosened up.

We also watched tangled at the Grandparents

We wished they still live close but we love to be able to visit them wherever they are.

Children's Discovery Museum

We finally renewed our pass at the Childrens Discovery museum.  The kids loved going back.

4th of July

As the kids get older I enjoy the 4th of July more and more.  They are old enough to play without too much supervision and when there are a lot of kids that helps my anxiety.  We had fun this year.  We had a swim party at Tami's house during the day and went to Trista's house at night for fireworks.

Family Pictures 2016

We did it!!!  We got Family Pictures taken.  I usually stress out about pictures and so have only gotten them done every 3 years but I decided I wanted to do them more so I only waited 2 years this time.  I have a talented sister and convinced her to take them for us.
