Leonardo's and Shooting at the Land




Ty was in heaven with all the dinosaurs and other animals at Leonardo's



The little builders were hard at work



Uncle Sebastien was the instigator of the boys getting all wet! They had so much fun that us moms really didn't care!




Enjoying Poppy and Grammy's little piece of heaven!








It was fun to watch the boys learn and try to throw clay pigeons...they had down by the time we left


Everyone wanted a ride with Uncle Sebastien on the 4-wheeler
These 3 little girls were our little entertainers
There are never enough water balloons, but they did have a blast getting each other wet

my cousin, Eden's children

While we were in Oklahoma, we took the kids to Leonardo's on a cooler day! The kids loved building, exploring, and getting wet while they were there! They have a really fun castle outside and the kids spent the most time out there! It was a cooler day, so it was nice to be outside and watch the kids play with their cousins. Aunt Debbie and Uncle Fred and 2 of their children came to visit while we were in Oklahoma! It was so good to see them again...I hadn't seen them for many years and my kids had never met them before! While they were there, we took a trip to the land! We roasted hot dogs, marshmallows, shot clay pigeons, rode the 4-wheeler and picked lots of stickers off our pants and shoes! The kids had a great time and the boys even learned how to throw clay pigeons! One of the greatest joys for me as a mother is to watch my children grow and learn and have fun! I was one happy mother while I was in Oklahoma! Sadly, our month long trip had to end and we started our long journey back to Nevada! We caravan with Rikki's family! Rikki and I had the girls in my car and the boys all rode with Sebastien. We traveled to Cheyenne, Wyoming and stayed the night there. We stayed in a nice hotel with a swimming pool, so of course we had to go swimming! We ate really yummy pizza and then said our goodbyes and they headed to Canada and we headed to Utah! That leg of the drive it rained the entire time! There was a long stretch of really heavy rain and if had gotten much harder, we would have had to stop until it slowed down! Thank goodness it didn't harder and we were able to make it to Grandma Scott's house in North Ogden. Uncle Emory and Aunt Judy were now living there, so it was fun to get to visit with them and see family I hadn't seen for many years! My children had never met them, so they had fun meeting even more of their cousins! Eden and her family were also staying there, while they were getting their new house ready to move into! We visited and the kids played! We even took the kids swimming at Aunt Crystals condo and had a little get together with everyone! Winfield and his family, Crystal and her boyfriend, Emory and Judy and even Lauri and her girls came up!  It was fun to see everyone, but I was ready to get back home to see Josh...we all were missing him! Ironically enough, Josh was still not back from his work trip when we arrived home! He had gone back east for work to find heavy equipment. When it was time to finally come home, they went through 4 different planes before they got one that worked! We got home on Saturday and daddy finally made it home on Monday! It was a happy reunion! I know this summer will be a summer the kids will never forget!

Swimming and Bowling


Helping make mac-n-cheese
The girls were always so creative

Ty showing me his flip off the diving board...I was so proud

Just Relaxin





All the kids LOVED playing with Uncle Sebastien
My handsome Taggy
all the kids tried so hard to win a $1 from Grammy...Tenley and Lucie just wanted to dance!

Even Tucker came bowling with us



While we were in Oklahoma, we did a lot of swimming! The kids were having so much fun with all their cousins at the swimming pool! The older kids got really brave and were trying flip off the low and high dives! Some got brave by just jumping off the diving board! The water was ice cold, but it was refreshing from the hot humid Oklahoma summer! It was so fun to be with all the family! Everyone was there except Drue and Kristen's family.

Grammy always loves to take all the kids bowling and adds a little wager to it. If you get a strike or a spare, you get $1.00! All the kids tried so hard to get a $1.00, so they could play arcade games when we were done! Grammy does give everyone $1.00 to all who were good sportsmen! We had a great time and all the kids were able to play arcade games!
