Fun with the Haywards today!!

Flowers are blooming

Another fun day at the Riverdale Splash Pad.  This is Grace reveling in every moment.

Cheese!

Kian & the boys

Then we went to Grandma's work for her retirement party!  Yay!  Her last day of work is this Thursday and her co-workers put on a really nice party for her and we were also invited.  Sounds like they will truly miss her, but we are glad to have Grandma around even more!  

Grace & Ry being patient

Kian & his cousin John

Love this pic of John making a break for it....

Congratulations on your retirement Grandma!

Grace performing for special guests....

Grandmam & Chops!

Pool party/ BBQ at our Amber & Justin's house today!  Along with our friends Christine & Luke and all our 8 kids, we enjoyed a beautiful day and hours of fun!

My very dear friends - Christine & Amber (and Happy Bday Amber!)

They got dressed up together.... we will be adding this picture to their wedding in 20 years.  =)

The guys chillin'

Grace and Ryland.... oh, you don't see Ryland?  Well he is in the blue bucket that Grace is sitting on!  She thought it was pretty funny.  He didn't.

Have to add this pic for today-->

We have been watching our good friend's dog this week.  Her name is Leia and she is a Bulldog who snorts, stinks, and lays around a lot (so she fits right in... LOL).  Wrigley & Leia pretty much ignore each other, so this is a rare picture.

Bulldog + Shit-tzu = ???

We had a seriously fun day with friends!  Went to see Cars 2 and then finished the night off at the Syracuse Movie in the Park.   Thanks Amber for the pics since I forgot my camera!  Ooops!

Watching "Tangled"

RyRy, Kian, Caleb, and Joshua

Grace with Caleb & Jonah

All of Christine's, Amber's, and my kids (minus Amber's Benny)

Thanks Christine for planning it all!  Tons of fun!

Last night all the kids fell asleep in the same bed

I took the kids to the Riverdale Splash Pad today and met up with some friends from MOPS.  

It was a beautiful day in the 80's.  LOVE it!

Fun time at the Castle park with some friends (thanks Christine!)

Grace singing us a song before bedtime.  I love how she gets all dressed up first.

Our human fish, Kian started swimming lessons today at Surf-n-Swim.  He is on level 2 and enjoyed learning 6 different types of "floats".  Its pretty cool going to Surf-n-Swim for swim lessons because in the front area they have 1 large swim team picture on the wall and its of Randy & his swim-teammates of the 1992 team from Layton High School.  Its fun to see that picture every time we go there.

Kian learning the "tuck float" from the teacher   

Orange goggles rock!!

Happy Father's Day!  We enjoyed a fantastic sermon at church, great time with family for lunch (Thanks Grumpy!), play time with the kids at home, and then a movie after the kids went to bed.  It was a great day.  I am very thankful that my kids have such an amazing Daddy and I have a wonderful husband!

What a FUN day! We went fishing up in East Canyon - so beautiful to drive through the red rock canyon surrounded by green hills and snow-capped mountains! Gorgeous! Then we went to a drive-in with the kids and saw Mr. Popper's Penguins. The kids had tons of fun sitting in the back of the truck and watching a movie.

The kids had a great day with both sets of grandparents -- went to the park for a couple hours with Grandmam & Chops then met up with Grandma & Grump at McDonalds. By the end of a hard-playing day, their feet were black. =)

The 4 of us played some Candyland today. RyRy won. =)

It was a beautiful day and the first day to hit 80 degrees this summer. So we went to the park and met up with Shea, Taylor, and Isaac. RyRy gets so pink when its hot!

Today, the kids & I went to the Hogle Zoo with some friends. We had a lot of fun and the kids really liked the "Zoorassic Park" theme.

RyRy & Grace, as close as they'd get to the dinosaur that moved and roared!

Kian with his buddies, Joshua & Noah

RyRy and the Bat-eared Foxes. He asked me to take a pic of him with the fox.

Picture Per Day

I have a good friend who is doing a Picture per Day on her blog and it sounds like a great idea!! I think it will be a fun way to sum up our summer! So I will try my best to get at least 1 picture for each day.

Pic of my backyard-view just before sunset

The Boys

The boys had a sleepover and instead of Ry sleeping in his bed, which was on the floor in Kian's room, he fell asleep next to Kian. This is the pic of them in the morning.

1st day at Lagoon this year

We got our season passes to Lagoon this year (finally!) and had a fun day as a family! The weather was beautiful in the 70's and it didn't even rain... which is odd this year in Utah. This is my favorite pic of the day.

Scooters!

Finally got Grace her own scooter!! She kept saying "I can't believe I have my own scooter!" We enjoyed a nice evening by walking around the block while the kids all rode their scooters.
