A week of FIRSTS!!!


This last week was a week of *FIRSTS in a few different ways.

Here they are....

Aaron started up his summer season of hockey!! He LOVES the game and the exercise. The games are FINALLY early enough that we can go and support him with it. YAY!!! He really is getting good at it too.

WAY TO GO AARON!!



He is the dude on the LEFT side of the picture. *FIRST game and *FIRST time having us there in along time!!

Here he is again~
Some family and friends came to cheer him on. Even though it is summer feeling outside (sorta)...we still all have to dress warm and wintery. Brrrrrr.

After the game. Daddy got warm hugs by Tate.....

and Davin!!! They both LOVE LOVE LOVE going to daddy's games. ~Great bribery now!!~
This next *FIRST is kinda NUTS and funny at the same time. Our neighbor LOVES to WAX anything and everything!! She talked Aaron into getting his back swimming worthy. HAA HAA! (He might just kill me for posting this.....but it is just too funny.) He really doesn't have that much back hair, but enough that he likes to clean it up before hitting the pool. What a guy!!

Believe it not, I have NEVER touched my eyebrows with anything. Never plucked and never waxed! Gross huh!? I am sure they probably needed it...but I just never did it. So she talked me into a brow wax. It was quite the *FIRST experience!


Getting ready for the pain.....

Onto the next First...

*FIRST time to LAGOON for the season. And even more so *FIRST time binging a kid!!!


Our fab neighbors had three extra tickets and asked us if we wanted to join. Of course we said YES! We LOVE Lagoon!!!

Aaron and I usually go yearly with his work party. We always have the option of bringing the kids, but we choose to get a sitter and make it a date for the two of us. (This way we can jump on rides and be worry free having a total blast together.) We always feel guilty to a point for not bringing them..but see the hassle the other families experience.

Well this year was a *FIRST and we thought we would be good parents and bring one of the kids. Tate was the lucky dude! We experienced quite the time.

He was a bit excited, even in the parking lot!
He rode lots of great rides with one of his dearest friends....SO CUTE!!!

......BUT waiting in lines were not his cup of tea. SSSShhhessh, this kids needs to learn patience!!

It was a *FIRST for Aaron and I to ride the kiddy rides. They are fun too, believe it or not!!


LOVED seeing all the sweet animals! They really do have a lot! We were in AWW!
Fun times all around!
We did have some breaks from the kids and had some adult laughs!! Much needed.

But it was tender to see Tate in heaven!! He was super cute!
He was care free and got soaked!!
Rode lots and lots of great rides!
He was even SUPER daring to go on FAST ones. If he was only taller...he would have gone on anything and everything.
Raddle snake rapids was not nice to us! Our back sides were soaked! Aaron was from head to toe. HAA HAA! Tate didn't understand getting his clothes wet...but still enjoyed it.

This ride was not near as wet...hee hee.


Just chillin'
Then it was time to pack up and call it a day. It was great to bring along Tate, but we all decided that next time...kids stay home. (Until they are at least 5 or 6 years old.) By then, he will be tall enough, understand that we have to WAIT in line..and wont throw fits about silly stuff. Over all...it was a perfect weather day and a complete BLAST!!

It really is "what FUN is!!!



We also got invited to our *FIRST BBQ up the canyon! Due to all the flooding, it was a *FIRST that we have been surrounded by water to eat a tin foil! NUTS!!!


We enjoyed great company. Great food and....
......GREAT s'mores!! BIG ones too!!! YUM!!
The kids LOVED feeding the ducks....throwing rocks into the river...and just getting SUPER DUPER dirty like a normal little kid.

Super cute kids.......messy and HAPPY!



Until next week.....
