Good Times!

Some of the good times of the week consisted of:

Making HOME made donuts for family night. (These are super good and tasty, but make you super sick after eating fifteen!! :) Rightfully so..I guess!!!
Donuts are the best in the form of HOLES!!
Helping mommy lick the beaters!! YUM!
The boys are HUGE into any type of TRACTOR or TRAILER of any sort that involves DIRT and ROCKS that make HOLES!

The Kennecott Copper Mine called our name.....and so we went!
DIRT + ROCKS + HOLES= Great times!
Learning time! Super cute!
AHHHH TRACTORS!!!
LOTS of them!!!!
BIG tires!!! WOW!


They could have watched ALL day!!
Like really....ALL DAY! So many trucks coming up and down!! What a view!
Mom and Dad had a great time watching the boys, but really enjoyed it ourselves also! Happy times all around!
We even splurged and got souvenirs! Mom got a SWEET copper bell for her collection, and the boys got copper Planes!
This week we finally made it for our year outing to Logan's ZOO! The boys were in heaven once again. DAVIN is HUGE into animals right now. SO very cute to see him get so excited!! It was so blistering HOT we got a slushy to make the rounds. It worked out perfectly!! WE LOVE SUMMER BABY!!
HAA HAA! Davin looks like one of the BIRDS at the bird ZOO!! HAA HAA! LOVE him!!

Which is better? Animals or the slushy? EQUAL!

My main man WON a $300 TREE with a drawing!! Not just a tree though, a NICE BIG one!! Great job buddy...and Thanks Zollingers!!!
Unloading it off of the trailer! WOW was it heavy!
We had dug this hole a few days before for family night. We thought it was a huge hole...NOPE, it needed to be MUCH larger! (Tate really was quite the help with his shovel. He really was. What a great helper!!)
Here it sits!! BEAUTIFUL!!! Way to Go babe, just saved us $300 bucks there! ;)

Swim aerobics has ended for the season! BOO! It was a good season of course, along side all of the hectic schedules to get there....but we made it a few times!
The season ender swim party was a HOOT also! Lots of fun going down the slides in complete darkness~! Kinda FREAKY...and YES, I did go down the big slide a BUNCH! WEDGIE ALERT!! (Be proud Megan B....be proud!! he he)

Just to prove it, here is a scary pic!
Our super AWESOME swim instructor in the middle! She has SOO much energy! Gotta love her!

(I passed the season with only one sore thumb and one tweaked wrist. Only one pulled hamstring and lots of sore muscles. Haa haa~) I sound OLD huh?? HAA HAA!

The results are what we like, and I think we got some of those! ;)

Arm muscles are getting where I want them...SORTA....getting rid of that choir arm baby! haa haa

Love ya all!

Summer happenings!

This week in no particular order....we fit in another picnic or two. One of which was captured with my mops and pops for FHE!

We love going to CARD!! One of our favs!

We also LOVE the BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS!!
You can't beat a steak on the grill and S'mores over the fire!
The boys can't get enough dirt on them this year either! They were having a great time sliding down this hill!
Had to get in some more duck feedings!
These ducks would DIE if we didn't feed them all that bread! HA!~
My high school BFF invited me up to her BEAUTIFUL home in good ol Preston ID! Always a good time with this lady! We go wayyyyyy back!
She is looking SMOKIN after 5 kids and one more on the way! Don't you think? DANG GIRL!
6 kids??? MAN!
The kids all enjoyed playin' together! So cute!
We even hit the PRESTON fair for a bit! Lovin' more animals!
The kids enjoyed climbing this wall! GO MASON!
One day we decided to fulfill out SLURPEE 711 craving for the summer. Aaron enjoys making some good ol concoction for the neighbors! HA!

Brain FREEZE!
YUMMMMMY good times!
We came home and did sparklers for no good reason. We love doing those randomly throughout the year. (Aaron doing his little Sparkler jig!) HA HA!
Finally to end off the week, we had a good ol time on this 10X100 foot slip and slide. Aaron planned this EQ service/BBQ/Slip and slide activity for the ward. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! MANY MANY MANY bruises were had...but oh so worth it! LOVED IT!

The BBQ MAN!

Kids and adults in line ready to sliiiiiiipppp and slllllllliddde!

These young KIDS were ready to go down together! Nice muscles dudes!
Here they come! One at a time...
Things are going smoothly....until...
SMACK...boom...bang! THE END! (they did this lots of times!)
Some of the REAL kids got into it also! Tate was in heaven!

We even got a little creative and started using a swimming pool! HA! We all had a GREAT time getting all soapy and grassy....and getting down and dirty to SLIP n' SLIDE as a ward!
I am quite sad that I accidentally erased our family swimming time in the kiddy pool pics (quite the sight), and our fire pit out back pics! BUMMER! I thought I had them saved?? Now they are gone....but if I find them..I will load them up for ya.

I feel like summer if officially over now that school has started and I start work tomorrow!

We will have good times still I am sure..but LIFE will get much more hectic! How do you ladies do it?!!

Love you all!!
