Herriman Reservoir

We went with Trianna and Amy to the Herriman Reservoir. We had never been and we loved every minute of it. We were there for 3 hrs and could've stayed longer!

Painting the Playhouse

One of my next projects in the yard is to paint the playhouse. The kids were SO excited to help out. They got out their shirts that they painted at Primary Children's while Brooklyn was there with her broken arm. Thanks for the help kids!

Hogle Zoo

We had planned on going to the zoo with my friend Annalee and her 3 girls. We were in the car heading out when she texted me that her daughter threw up all over the car on their way. :( There was no way I could cancel on the kids, so we went anyway. We were going to be able to get in for free with Annalee's membership, so we ended up buying our own membership! I've been wanting a membership somewhere around the valley, so it was nice to have my decision made for me. The kids had a blast!

Dentist Appt

I took all 4 kids to the dentist for their checkups. No cavities! They all did great...even Brynlee. Brielle wasn't a huge fan of the dentist checking her mouth out, but she made it! Good job kids!

Free Slurpees!

I had planned on taking the kids for free slurpees on 7-11. My awesome neighbor asked if we wanted to go on a bike ride to 7-11 with them. It took me a while to find all the parts to the bike trailer, and I was shocked that all the tires pumped up and held air. It was mostly uphill on the way there, but we made it! And had yummy slurpees. The way home was much easier. Thanks again, Tobi, for making our life more fun! Now that all the bikes and trailer are out and working, we plan on going on many bike rides this summer!

Cookies!

My neighbor, who is amazing, made a bunch of train cookies for her kids to decorate after reading The Little Engine That Could. She brought us some extras and the kids loved them! Thanks Tobi!

Swimming!

The kids have become obsessed with with swimming and playing on the slip 'n slide. I made a huge mistake and set up the slip 'n slide in the front yard in the middle of the day...burning a big spot on the grass. Oops. I've learned it has to be set up in the shade somewhere so it doesn't ruin the grass. The kids love it!
