Primary Activity

Our Primary had our quarterly Activity at the Museum of Church History and Art building. It has been so great that both our kids can participate in Primary Activities. Ashlynn should be in Nursey, but since our ward does not have a nursey they moved Ashlynn in with the Sunbeam class. She has done really well and fits in perfectly.

This kids had a great time acting as pioneers and doing the various activities they had planned for our group. The kids even got to become lifetime honorary Tabernacle Choir members. Ashlynn dressed up as a sawer. We were taught how they made the benches in the Tabernacle.
Then we got to paint and spread a pattern that looked like a piece of wood.

Go USA!

I thought the new background would be fitting due to the Olympics starting! I can't wait to watch the events that take place. My favorite events are gymnastics, volleyball, track and field, swimming and softball. Go USA!!

Liberty Park

We ventured out to Liberty Park with friends of ours from Boise. It is so convenient that my friend's parents live in Ogden so when they come to Utah we get to see them too. Carter and my friend Ami's son Jameson had a fun time playing around the park.

Carter and Jameson playing around the splash pad. They were filling up a cup and throwing water on eachother.
This is the splash pad at the playground. This park was so fun and there was so many things to do and I have never seen so many swings at a park. There were so many that there was always a swing open. That never happens on a busy saturday and any park. You always have to wait a turn.

This park has miniature water canyons that turn into streams that flow into a pool area at the bottom. The Canyons are named after the Canyons along the Wasatch front in Utah.
The kids had a blast splashing and laying in the mini streams of water. The water was so refreshing.
They kids also liked throwing floaties in the water and watching them float to the bottom of the canyons.
This is the pool area at the bottom of all the streams. We had such a great time with our friends. We hope to see them soon again! Thanks for the all the fun!

Grandma Frankie and Grandpa Tom make their way to Utah!

Matt's parents made a special visit to Utah to visit everyone. We had a great time visiting with each other and ate some very yummy food! The kids were so excited to see them!
Ashlynn had herself strapped in Grandpa's truck ready to go home with them.
Thanks so much for the Boyd's bears, bags and fun princess stuff for Ashlynn. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. Oh, and Carter still loves his new light saber.

Chillin' in East Bountiful, Yo!

Pioneer Day Celebration

The State of Utah celebrates when the pioneers settled in Utah in 1847. They had fun free activities all month long. We learned a lot of history about them and what the pioneers did for us. We enjoyed learning about their lives and what they did. Enjoy the pictures of us at some the things we did. We will be looking forward to next year's fun!

Pioneer Day Activities

On the 24th the actually Pioneer day Holiday, we went swimming and ice skating at the Rec Center. Then we headed out to the park to play a few games and got our sun intake for the day. Doesn't Ashlynn look so excited! Not!
Carter and I. Carter really got the hang of it with out much support.
Ashlynn had a friend to help her along. She liked to pick up the ice off the rink and put in on the benches to see how long it would take to melt.
Carter on a pony ride at the park. Ashlynn did not want to ride.
So, this is Carter after a long day of fun. He fell asleep on the table before his food came out. I felt a little embarssed that we wore him out so much. Carter had a brief power nap and he was ready to go and have more fun when we got home. We ended the day with our own fireworks at home. What a great few days to enjoy new activities.
