The boys already had a good feel for it and they never had even played before.
Tate was a super GOOD player...stepping on his tippy toes that is. (he loves those tippies!!)
We were out saying our goodbyes in their driveway when the Mendon community fire alarms started going off. LOUD!! We noticed just around the corner was this HUGE house in flames. LIKE really HUGE flames. Pictures don't do it justice. We watched it for about a half hour. It was very intense! I have seen house fires before, but WOW...this was a BAD one. None of the firemen or anyone had gotten there yet. It was a lost cause from the get go for sure. So super sad! The good thing was, it was only 2 weeks out from being finished...and so nobody lived there yet. SO sad for them, but glad nobody got hurt. You could see it clear across the valley, and it ended up being on the news and all over the papers!
Monday night we had a GREAT ~FHE~ fishing/BBQ with the EQ dudes and families. We did this last year you might remember at NEWTON DAM. It was so fun, we thought it would be a great tradition and do it again. The days are getting so short, we didn't have much time in the light. It was SOOO beautiful with the sun setting though...it made it worth it. BBQ's taste better in the dark too. Right? HA!It was AWESOME....there was even a rope SWING we swung on. Super high and scary..but AWESOME! Who needs Lagoon??? (should have been over water though...)
It really was a sight!
The kids played on the beach and got super dirty! Of course!!!
Aaron was the lucky winner of getting the first, and biggest for the night! (Small compared to last years.) He was excited and so were we!!
LOVE this picture! Don't they look similar!? Haa Haa
The guys get into it sooo much! They are such a great team! So funny and cute that they all jump up and help bring each others fish in, even with burgers in hand!
Davin is chillin' and taking it all in....
The kids playing together so cute in the dark. Talking gibberish of course!
The ladies chattin' away about each others kids.
The dudes chattin about what???? FISH!!!
Time for a bit more DARK swingin'!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....Fun times!
Tuesday was a BIG day for our family!!! TATE turned the BIG ~4~ years old!!!!!!! Holy cow, can he really be that BIG already?? Was it really 4 years ago that I was over due with a nearly 9 pound baby...and this is him now??? CRAZY! We LOVE him soo much!
Stats at his ~4~ year well check appointment.
Weight 34 1/2# (40 %)
Height 3' 4.2" (50%)
*The doctor even measured his arm muscles! He said those were far better than average!! ;)
Mommy had to work, so PIZZA was in the works for dinner. Tate didn't mind. YUM!
A very simple party with some cousins at the park was the plan. Tate was in HEAVEN and all was GOLDEN!! We started out with ~4~ VERY simple clues for the kids to run around and get a candy bar prize. After which though, they had to do a simple TASK and/or true and false question at each spot! They all had a great time.
Silly clues to the DUCK POND, BATTING CAGES, SWINGS, and SLIDE!
The candy bar prizes coordinated with the TASKS or true and false questions. CHEESY? YES!
At the slide!!!
At the ducks!
At the batting cages!
At the swings!
After they ran around and got all of their wiggles out...it was CAKE TIME! Planes were the theme this year you see. Tate LOVES planes!! (Don't judge me for the quick and simple cake! I worked really hard on it. ;))
PLANES!!!!
Singing to the BIRTHDAY BOY!!
Presents are always FUN!
Coooool TATE! He now is getting into ACTION figures!
Then it was time to EAT the cake and ice cream....
Then play around the park for a bit! (I love this action picture. He has some AIR!)
WHAT a NUT!! Always playing along side the kids. Love that about him!! HA HA!
Then we watched the daddies bat in the batting cages for a bit!
Super cute Davin watches daddy with his plane!
Then on the way home we stopped by to see all the flags that they were setting up for a memorial. These represented all the P.O.W.'S lost in war since Vietnam. Very neat to see..and emotional. Made me more grateful that my dad made it home safe and sound from Vietnam. It was a neat way to end the day.
Tate also had a WONDERFUL and rare opportunity. He was brought to lunch by his GREAT grandpa Mc ~age 96~WOW to ARCTIC CIRCLE!! He had a great time eating, but waiting for the ice cream SHAKE to come was the BIG deal of the date!! My mom took him another day just him and her too. (No pictures were taken...but he was so happy and spoiled on his BIRTHDAY week!! He deserves it. What a great kid!!)
These will be pictures we will cherish in years to come. :)
The park of the week was LUNDSTRUM!! Always a fun one. Lots to play on..great pals to hang with...and of course great times!! A picnic there made it just that much better!
Such CUTE and GREAT pals! They always play so well together.
And this is how come we take home GERMS!! UGH!!!
One evening we headed up to 1st Dam to feed the ducks. So lovely this time of year!!! TONS of geese/ducks/birds....whatever you want to call them. The boys had a great time.
Yes, even this boy...
This is one reason why we love Cache Valley. So close to the mountains and always breathtaking.
