a week with our besties...

It's always a fun packed week when our bff's come into town!!  we had SO much fun 

with the Granum's!  I Loved that they were here for Boston's birthday week.  

We met at Tucano's and then went night swimming at stonegate. We definitely packed in 

the fun...

We swam, hiked, went to movies, sliding rock, night swimming daily, spa night at Summer's

played with Sadie {their dog}, Hang time, Lowe's Xtreme airsports, lots of sleepovers, 

Waffle Truck, ate at all their favorite spots, including

many Cafe rio stops, Park city slide & Coaster, and more!

I love when my girl is in town, it's continuous fun and laughter!

xo

these two have been buddies since they were 2 and now look at them at 14!!  too cute!!

the kids were mostly excited for sadie, ha!  Jenn told them they better not hug sadie first!

pure joy with her all week...

love these two.

one afternooon we surprised the Rhodes arrival back home to Utah!  They had

 no idea we would all be in their yard when they arrived.  Best Surprise Ever!!

we're so excited they are back in Utah!

love seeing all of our friends kids growing up together!

we went to Lowes extreme and then the waffle truck.  Luckily for me the Hokulia

 shaved ice place was next to the waffle truck so we hit both stops in one! 

BEST SHAVED ICE EVER! 

memorial day!

We had a fun filled memorial day!  The kids were so excited to go to Parker's 

grave.  The cemetery was SO beautiful.  I can't ever describe the beauty of the cemetery on 

Memorial day, but it is unbelievable.  Flowers are everywhere, and so many people visiting

their loved ones.  It's just beautiful.  

My kids run right up to his grave and were so excited to give him flowers and a pinwheel.

they are so angelic about their brother, they think of him all the time and 

always ask if they can say a prayer.  They are so lucky to have him as 

their guardian angel.  what a blesssing to know that we are an 

Eternal family.  

they wanted a picture of the "Triplets"... this pulls at my heartstrings!

then the boys went golfing at Alpine Country Club and we went swimming with our cousins. 

they had a huge BBQ going so we all ate a yummy lunch with some ice cream cones!

Ivy swam the whole time we were there in the deep end{without her floatie.}   

she is swimming so good.  

She decided she was brave enough for the diving board now.

Then later that afternoon we headed over to the Taylor's for some more BBQ-ing and playing with 

the Taylor cousins.  Papa had his dune buggy out and Brigham and Boston were driving
 everyone all over the place.  {they secretly love this job}

as if we needed one more thing to do, the kids suggested "Hang Time" to end the night!  

luckily no body was their and they got plenty of Dodgeball time in.  I love watching Brigham and 

Boston do tricks  they are ridiculously coordinated!!

then we had to hit up Krispy Kreme.  I think the day was successful!

press play on this video of Boston and Briggs...

Hang Time.

The new "Hang Time" in Orem is seriously the Bomb! my kids loved every second of 

jumping into foam pits, playing dodge ball and just hanging 

with their arizona cousins!

the taylor family reunion was starting on the 4th of july so we had a little pre partying before that.
