seven peaks water park!

we have the infamous 'pass of all passes' this year for seven peaks!  and apparently so does EVERYBODY else!  o well, if we go a couple more times  i will feel complete.

long long lines, and kids everywhere.  

luckily boston had his friend brayden with him who loves to go on all the 

crazy rides and i pretty much never saw him unless he was hungry. haha

beautiful sunny day, and we loved playing with our neighbors!

sports camps...

... are in full swing around here.
boston loves sports, his absolute favorite is football!
 he has added a few more {favorites} this summer.

the week that school was out all of his camps were starting.  in one week he had
basketball camp in the mornings and then lacrosse camp and rugby practice in the evening.
 then the next week was football camp.
he has loved every minute of it.

it's so fun to see him play, and the stories he has to tell afterwards. ha
he is one active kid and i love it!

***football camp***

boston with his cousins chase and dakota.  

chase plays for lonepeak and helped coach the football camp all week.  

boston's team was so awesome.  most of his buddies from his football team were 

with him and theywere UNDEFEATED!! they made it to the championship and then lost.  

so they got 2nd place.  after the championship game all the kids had

 a fun bbq and then awards were given.  

he loved this camp!

alpine splash pad!

we love our brand new splash pad and park!  this place is so fun, with plenty to do.

full basketball court, tennis courts, trails, playground area and splash pad!

It's so huge & the best part is its FREE!

we will be making a few appearances here this summer.

we went with our friends and played all day.  

the boys literally played basketball the whole time.

they saw kids from their school and ended up playing a few games.

we call this the dizzy playground!  everything SPINS like crazy!

so much fun!

Taylor family reunion...

in beautiful 'Brian Head ski resort.' 

{southern utah}

all of the taylor family and cousins {41 and counting} stayed in a HUGE beautiful cabin
in brianhead and had a fabulous time.  The cabin was gorgeous with
plenty to keep the little ones entertained!  

my kids were in heaven.

we played plenty of pool, ping pong, apples to apples, foosball, i pads, ds's, etc...

each of us families were assigned a night to make lunch or dinner and we {the cory taylor family}

 had yummy spaghetti and meatballs night!  delish.  and i am not even kidding you when

 i say we had a ton of meatballs!  i wish i would have counted.

the first night we got to the cabin olivia and gavin both lost a tooth! sweetness!

 {thanks aunt jane}

now livi is missing her two front teeth.

one afternoon we all went on a fun hike to the waterfalls!  the kids loved it 

and everyone did so good with minimal whining. haha
