Utah Trip Part 2

We joined my parents, brothers family, and sister and went to a very very fun and exciting Dinosaur Park.  When I was explaining it to Derick he was thinking more like a Dinosaur Museum....which it had too but it was more like a statue Jurassic Park!!!  Kurtis and Sarah both LOVED it!!!  We took a lot of photos with all the kids together...so enjoy!

Our Summer Trip

Since our summer was so short we didn't really feel like we had a full summer vacation but we enjoyed our time while we could.  My brother was blessing his baby in UT so I decided to pack the kids in the car and drive to meet my family there in UT.  I have never driven to UT before but it was a wonderful drive that I am blessed we made safely there and back.  First stop Park City, and some very touristy UT stops.

Swim Lessons!!!

This year for swim lessons we went to Culver Plunge again and Kurtis took the lessons with his very good friend...they had a fantastic time.  It was great having them both doing swim lessons at the same time in the same level.  They both drove each other to work harder and be better each day!

After a week of lessons we went and got some donuts to celebrate!!

July 4th Part 2- FIREWORKS

We went to fireworks at the marina and loved camping out waiting for them to happen.  We all played games, ate dinner, and people watched.  Kurtis has been asking to see fireworks at the beach for about 3 years now, so finally we did as we said we would and it was so much fun.  We also went and saw the fireworks at a local college here, they put on a terrific show and it was inside an arena which was full of families and lots of vendors for us to walk around and see.  I think as a mom I enjoyed the local college better, but it was fun seeing fireworks on July 4th no matter what!! 

4th of July...Part 1

For 4th of July we started off at the Beach...which the children love, and so did Derick!!!  They built sand castles, swam in the ocean, played football, and ate a delicious lunch under our new beach tent!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!!

Last Week of School

For Kurtis' last week of school he had his Kindergarten Culmination.  We had the theme "Oh The Places You Will Go..." and after the ceremony we had a family/friends picnic filled with Dr. Seuss trees, great entertainment, and yummy food!!  The kids had a wonderful time, and loved having the attention on them for the day!  Below are some great photos of the memories we made.  I also took some videos but they are too large to upload right now, but once I can figure it out I will upload them for you all to watch.  They had some pretty funny songs/dances that they did!!  We all loved it, and are proud of Kurtis and his accomplishment.  He received a certificate for 97% attendance, as well as high achievement in Science!
