Pioneer Park

While we were down in Provo we played at Pioneer Park in Provo. They kids love going to new parks.

Heber Creeper

While we were visiting my parents in Utah we went up to Heber for the afternoon. We had a picnic at the park and then went on the Heber Valley Railroad. The boys were so excited!

I love how blue Jake's eye look. He is such a cute kid.

Austin with a messy face. This kid always has food on his face.

Emma and her daddy

Emma loves her grandpa. I loves how she will rest her head on his shoulder.

Austin talking with his grandpa.

While we were riding the train we had a "train robbery". It was pretty cute. The made everyone raise their hands to the sky. When they walked by Emma, they said she was too cute to be robbed and gave her a piece of candy.

I am not sure if Austin was really scared, but every time the train robbers guns fired Austin flung his hands up in the air. It was hilarious.

Austin is in love with trains. He was so well behaved on the train and hardly made a peep. He still talks about the train ride and wants to go back.


Attempting a family picture. The kids never all seem to look at the camera at the same time. Oh well. We had a great time and made some wonderful memories.

Oregon Coast {Rockaway Beach}

We all went to the beach one afternoon. The kids had so much fun. Emma and Austin loved playing in water and sand. Jake discovered his love for flying kites. It was perfect kite-flying weather. This was the perfect way to end our trip to the coast.

I love how this kite pictures turned out.

I just love this picture of Austin. He hardly even lets me take his picture.

Emma was not happy being picked up. She wanted to run and play.

Oregon Coast {Multnomah Falls}

We stopped at Multnomah Falls on our way the coast. The kids loved. It is so green and beautiful.

I love the 4th of July!

We went down to Utah for the week before the fourth. We had such a great trip. I love spending the 4th of July in Provo.

Nana and Emma

Jake loved wearing his new outfit for the 4th. He kept on saying, "I'm the fourth of July!"

We love watching the parade. This was Austin and Emma's first time at a parade. Growing up we went to Utah almost every summer and it was usually around the first of July. I have so many memories of going to the parade, the arts festival, and watching fireworks at Nana & Boppa's house.

What a happy girl!

What a sad face!

This is how Emma spent the first part of the parade.

Jake's happy smiling face!

Balloon Festival

On the 3rd of July we got up early and headed out to watch the hot air balloon festival. We had never been before and we were glad we went.

I love Austin's sweet little face.
