While we were in Utah this summer I looked out the front window just as my dad came around the corner on his red tractor. A minute later here came Teegan on the little red tractor that we have had since we were kids peddling as fast as his legs would take him.

 They had a great time playing farmer with Grandpa Gary

Whitney's art drawing

This is a drawing Whitney did for her art class. They had to put 3 items together, take a picture of it and then draw it. I think she did a great job. She says it is hanging in the school somewhere because she got 100 on it but she does not think it is very good.

Happy Birthday Teegan

Teegan turns 9!

Check out his cake. He wanted to have an Army birthday but by the time we got to the store it was to late to order a cake.  He saw this cake and we decided we would just take off the stuff and add a tank. He came up with a great idea, the tank would be shooting Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He is all boy.

He got lots of money this year and was so excited. We are still trying to decide what he is going to buy with it all.

Football Season

This is Teegan's first year playing tackle football. He is the only player on the team who has never played before and is also one of the youngest players.

Birthday Party

I know, I know I am so behind on my posts.  A week after we got home from Utah I was called to be the Relief Society President and then school and sports started and it has been crazy ever since. So here is my attempt to get caught up.

Trip to Utah
This year we decided to spend a whole month in Utah. We flew out at the end of June, once the kids got scout camps, football camps, girls camp and youth conference out of the way. We flew home at  the end of July. We stayed very busy and had a ton of fun. Unfortunately dad could not take time off work and come out with us.

A few days after we got there we traveled down to St. George to Gramdma and Grandpa Maxfield's new house.

We spent tons of time relaxing by the pool. It was so nice.

Now that is relaxing :). They were actually playing a game to see who could jump onto all the pool toys and actually stay on. Casey was the only one to make it. After that the raft war began.

Grandpa Laurie took the kids on some hikes. Teegan's favorite was the lemon squeeze.

We had  fun spending time together

We hurried back to Sandy and made it to the Sandy City 4th of July parade

 Through out the next month we hit Airborne, a big trampoline, jump place

The kids did baptisms at the Draper Temple

They made pens with Grandpa Laurie

We spent a few hours one morning playing with the kids who were staying at the Christmas Box House. A home for neglected and abused kids.

We took a tour of the Sweets Candy Factory

We spent a couple of hours at Temple Square (we could have stayed for a whole day)

See much better without us ;)

Whitney went to BYU soccer camp

She stayed at the dorms for a week and did nothing but soccer and hang out. She had a great time and her team ended up winning the whole tournament.  

We went to a cabin with the Brown family for a long weekend

We watched a lot of movies in the great media room

 

We played our version of

MINUTE TO WIN IT

 

The best part was just hanging out with cousins
