Stepping stones and swimming

Regan and I enjoyed some delish comfort food for breakfast Saturday morning. I really need to convince Jon that rice and beans is NOT just a dinner meal, and that its good more than once a week.

IMG_6275 IMG_6276"Thank you thank you thank you for the YUMMY rice and beans Mama!" He was convinced that I was a rock star for feeding him rice and beans for breakfast. I seriously LOVE this little buddy of mine. IMG_6277We stopped by Home Depot to pick up some wood for making stepping stones at Grandma's house. IMG_6278 IMG_6282 IMG_6287 IMG_6292 IMG_6297 IMG_6300 IMG_6302 IMG_6303I love how Sarah's nails came out. FASTEST nail job I've ever done! IMG_6304 IMG_6305My parents came over to pick Kaylee and Me up for our day/night out with them. IMG_6306 IMG_6308After Kaylee finished doing her stepping stone my parents and I took her out for non swimming (pool chemicals are SO bad for her skin) fun while Regan and Jon stayed with the cousins for swimming fun.IMG_6322I am told that Regan and Dan when asked to rinse off before getting out to the pool stripped down to naked rinse. I am told it was quite a sene. IMG_6325 IMG_6329 IMG_6335 IMG_6370 IMG_6373 IMG_6390 IMG_6396Jon says everyone had a blast. We are super happy we had Kaylee skip the chemically pool.

July 4th 2014 evening festivities

After playing at Grandma's house all day we headed to Aunt Linda's house for dinner before heading out to the park for firework fun.

Regan asked for this lipgloss he found at Clairs when we went to see Sam earlier. I told him the only way he was going to get it was if Sam decided to be extra awesome and buy it for him, but not to count on getting it.

Sam bought the Hershey's chocolate lipgloss for this syrup loving boy. He was SO excited about it and just kept caking more and more on his lips. HAhaha.

Linda gave Kaylee a bag of bows. So Sam and I decided to stick them all in her hair for kicks and giggles. She kept them in all night. It made it super easy to spot he in crowds. 😉

Kaylee is getting into Tap dancing and was excited to hear about her great great grandfather who tapped from her great grandma who tapped too. SO fun. I love family story time!

"Hey Barry? You got any games on your phone?"

We played some card games before it got too dark. Regan had fun with Uncle Jamie.

And then our FAVORITE people randomly found us! Angie and I turned into "THOSE" girls for a second. Our St. George summer time wasn't lining up the last time we chatted about it, and so seeing them was a HUGE happy surprise. YEA for last minute trips and happy accidents. It was so great to spend a couple hours with these cuties.

Regan in between crying over wanting an overpriced light up sword did have fun playing with his Uncles and Papa.

Regan didn't want to do any of the carni rides that they had at the park, but Kaylee did. So Jon took her to the giant slide and then to the swings.

She LOVED the slide and did it twice. Then Angie and Cylest found Jon and Kaylee to say hi/surprise and it was decided that Cylest would go on the swings with Kaylee. I truly love how much these two love each other. Age difference aside and hardly seeing each other makes no difference.

The hand holding killed me. They are SO adorable. I can't stand it!

Then Regan decided to stop crying about the sword and go on the giant slide, but only if Jon went down with him.

 

IMG_6133

So Jon being awesome took the little buddy on the slide.

And he HATED it! And his tonsils are huge…..

And he is back to crying about not getting the sword.

Goodbyes kinda suck. I miss my Utah family and friends. It was really so good to see them and celebrate our amazing country with them.

 

4th of July 2014 day festivities.

We started our day of fun with surprising Sam at work.

IMG_6010 IMG_6011

Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house for some cousin fun. It was SO good to see Ben. It's been years. IMG_6015The kiddos spent ALL afternoon running around having TONS of water fun. IMG_6019 IMG_6026 IMG_6028 IMG_6044The boys (Jake and Dwayne) got Mom's garage all organized while the children played.IMG_6045 IMG_6049 IMG_6051Cole made yummy desserts for the kiddos. She is amazing. IMG_6052 IMG_6053 IMG_6054Kaylee who is NOT a napper was so worn out that she napped all the way back to Papa's house. IMG_6056Regan wanted me to take a picture of him pretending to be asleep. IMG_6057

Then about sixty seconds later he passed out. IMG_6059I love his little painted toes with his camo sandals.

They NEEDED that nap before we started the evening festivities.
