Swim Team BBQ & Awards

Riverside had their Annual Swim team BBQ tonight and the swimmers all got Trophy's and their Plaques and Ribbons from the County Meet. Boston got "MVP" for 7/8 year old boys, along with his Best Buddy Chase, and he was so Excited!!
Way to go Buddy! The kids went swimming and got to play all night with their friends at the Pool.

Our crazy little Fish...Hayes~ This kid literally doesn't get OUT of the Water!

He was just Chillaxin while he was eating his Chips

Hiking the "Y"

We woke up early this morning to fit in our Hike. It is tradition for us now to always hike the "Y" right before school starts. We have done it the last 3 years with our Neighbors the Mortons, and the Boys just love it. I of course didn't hike it this year, so i owe Caryn Big time! I got to hang out at the Bottom and Read my book. ;)

Skate Park

We headed out this morning with our friends, The Gleeds to hit the Skate Park before it got way to Crazy with teenagers!  It wasn't very Busy, so that made it even better so Hayes & Olivia can Ride their scooters too.  Boston did some really cool tricks, but i didn't get those on Camera. Oops...

9 more days of Summer left...

8 months Pregnant...

I wanted to have these pictures for my book, so i can remember what i looked like. I wish i would have had a Blog with my Triplet Pregnancy, cause i was a LOT Bigger than this and would have LOVED to have looked back to see the pictures!! haha

This baby girl has been as active as my Multiple Pregnancy (uh oh)! I have a feeling she will be a super fun Kid, maybe not the greatest baby though. ;)
I now am having Sleepless nights, Heartburn (morn- night) and serious Braxton-hicks. I just made my appt. to go in and have her on Sept. 16th early in the morning.
Yahoo!!

Olivia & her cousin Brynn, these two were so fun to watch this summer, they LOVED to play together.

My Sil Jane took these pictures before she left back home to Arizona... Thanks Jane!

~ We are all ready for school to start. We got all the Supplies and Shopping done and my kids are so excited to start school. Boston starts on the 20th and Hayes and Olivia start Pre school on the 21st.

Olivia said to me:
Olivia: Mom, are we going to school tomorrow?
Mom: No not yet, are you so excited to go to your new school?
Olivia: Yes, i want to go to school now and Nastics (gymnastics)
Hayes: i don't want to go to school, i will cry.
Olivia: Hayes you won't cry, i will give you a piece of gum.( while patting his back);)

She is such a mother and should be a great help to him in School. They have grown up so much this summer and are like little kids now. They seemed like babies for such a long time. They are seriously so funny together.

L-O-V-E this kid!!

Today in church, with no one telling him to go.... Boston bore his testimony! it was such a sweet Testimony, and he looked so grown up!!

He said, "Mom, should i go up and say my testimony"
I said, "yes, if you feel your heart beating fast, then you never want to pass up that opportunity, and just go for it" {i should listen to my own advice, i know!}
He went up and did such a great job and even said he LOVED this ward! ;)
He came back to sit down and had a huge grin, and said "Wow, now that feels so good"
He is such a Fabulous kid!!

The "County" Swim meet

Boston made it to The "Gold" Swim meet! This is where all of the Best swimmers in the County go. We woke up this morning at 6am and went to the Payson Pool for the 7:30 am
County meet!

Boston went to take off his Swim jacket and pants for his first race and had NO Swimsuit on!! Ugh... I had it all laying out on his bed, How do you forget to put on your Swimsuit when you are going to a SWIM MEET??!! He was a little bummed out about that, but while his dad rushed home to grab his suit (30 min. drive) we borrowed Caden Granum's sweatshorts he had on for the first 2 races. Thanks Caden! So Boston didn't start out his morning very Pumped!

Boston competed in 5 events today...

Individual Medley Relay~ First Place (He swam the Backstroke)

Freestyle~3rd place/ 19:68

Butterfly~2nd Place/21.95 ( he posted an "A" time, which is awesome)

Backstroke~4th /24.31 (he usually is 1st place in this one, but didn't do his best time, oops)


{his buddies on the team who WON and Plaqued for the IM relay}

Boston diving off for the Freestyle Relay

He ended up with 2 first places, a 2nd place and 3rd place. Which he will get all plaques in.
He is such a Great little swimmer, and swims every stroke so Perfect! We are so
proud of you Boston. Way to end the Season!

You would think he was quite exhausted after 4 hours of a swim meet. We were! He came home and went to a Birthday party at "Jump On it" {Trampoline place} and then to his Indoor Soccer game! This kid ROCKS!!

I also got my copy of this today...

Last Day of Swim lessons...

I have had Hayes & Olivia in Swim lessons since Boston's Swim team started in June! I would just have them go for 20 minutes everyday right after Swim team was done. It has been a Great 2 months of lessons and they have Really Improved! Hayes' Swim teacher is my favorite, his name is John and Hayes totally LOVES him! John would wear Big goggles like Hayes and would Dance with him and by the end of the Swim lessons he had him Going under the water grabbing the Rings. Hayes is totally Swimming. They both are really, but Hayes seems alot more Confident and jumps in and swims to the side. It is so dang cute.
Olivia does Great too, she just likes to hang on to you more often.

Olivia swimming to Kyle. She normally had this girl Mc Call as her swim coach, and loved her.

Lagoon...

This day was destined to come! We had so much fun with our friends today and the kids all had so much fun. Boston's favorite ride was "Wicked" and Hayes and Olivia said they loved the "Whale ride"! We had all boys today except for Olivia and Breanna, so The boys had a BLAST!

We had to have the old fashioned pictures with all the kids. It was Hilarious! Hayes was acting like "Woody" in his Cowboy gear, and Crew was showing off with his hat and money! They were seriously so fun to watch, and we were a Zoo!

Here is our Group shot minus Mc Call and Lacey, who were taking the Pictures.

This was the Ride of the Day.... A Favorite of Everyones, so they had to go on it again!!
{It is seriously Very Crazy, but looks so fun}

While the big kids went on the Crazy rides, Livi and Hayes had fun in Kiddieland...

It was so Hot, that we definitely needed to cool off with "Rattlesnake Rapids" Even Hayes & Olivia went on it...

The Pirate Ship was a HUGE hit!
Our kids were on the left side first 2 rows.

More Fun rides for the little ones!

The "BAT"

"BYU" Bowling...

We went last night with the Taylor Cousins Bowling and had so much fun! We had 3 lanes ~ the little kids, Pre-teens, and Adults. Boston, Hayes & Olivia were having so much fun with their cousins, lets just say these kids are always totally Entertained when together!

Cory

Nana {Who was on FIRE}

Hayes loved pushing his Ball and then waiting to see how many pins he knocked down.

Boston actually bowled pretty good, he was in 3rd Place

Olivia was Hilarious...When the pins got knocked down, she would scream "Yah, Yah"! She also bowled a Strike!!

How could it NOT be fun, when you have this many kids and Little kids hanging out!!

"This is the Place"

We went up to Salt lake to "This is the Place" Monument State park! It is absolutely darling and the kids did so many fun things that the Pioneers did. I was shocked how many cute things they had going on, especially since it was the Pioneer weekend.
The kids helped with Chores {washing Clothes}, they Pulled handcarts, Played Tug o war, exchanged Money in the Bank, rode horses, enjoyed a darling Petting zoo, Walked through Brigham Youngs home, rode in a Covered Wagon and had a Watermelon eating Contest!
We seriously learned so much today about the Pioneers, and the kids were so Awesome, especially since it was 106 degrees today!!

{Jenn and all the kids in the Covered Wagon}

{Watermelon Contest}

In this little house they had 7 children. This is the Only bed in that whole house!

Helping with Chores. Washing and Ironing.

It was a Priviledge to go to school then, and the teacher explained all about if you broke the Rules... It was pretty bad!

The Bank

We ate Lunch there and the kids spent their money in the Candy shop at the very first "ZCMI" shopping store.

Pulling Handcarts

The Petting area, which was so dang cute, we were up and close to Cows, sheep and Little goats, the kids were LOVING this part!

Horse rides...
Hayes was so funny, he was so excited to ride on a horse like woody, and wouldn't stop talking about it all day and then of course started to cry right before the ride. We made him ride the horse and he was Fine. Of course at the end of the ride he was loving it!
