Stadium of Fire FiReWoRkS!

After the hike to Stewart Falls we came down to the Stadium of Fire and claimed a spot across the street on the soccer field to watch the great firework show!
Cohen and I had fun eating blue lik-m-aid Fun Dips and getting blue mouths!

Ryder was a little spooked by the loud banging of the fireworks at first, he had never seen them before, but then seemed to like the bright lights and colors. Cohen loved it!

In the morning we are heading to the parade bright and early!
It is hard work having so much fun!

Stewart Falls

We had so much fun going to Sundance and hiking to Stewart Falls as a family!
My ankle and leg were still healing from the accident so I had to wear flip flops which made for an interesting hike, but I made it round trip ok.

Michelle and Joe and their girls came with us. They were hiking machines and we had to try to keep up with those little balls of energy!

We packed lunches and enjoyed our sandwiches next to the beautiful waterfall when we finally made it to the top! We splashed in the water and then made the hour trip back down the trail.

Super WHY!

We have a new member of the family.

This is Super Why!

He loves SUPER LETTERS, especially the letter H!
Lower case h too, but mostly the BIG H!
He is also known as, Cohen Green!In Cohen's time off from solving puzzling mysteries with alphabet letters he is enjoying spending time with his little brother.
LOVE these boys!

Eggs and Robins

My mom has a hanging basket on her front porch that a mommy Robin thought would make a perfect home for her eggs. My mom would bring it down everyday to water the plant and then hang it back up. It didn't seem to bother the Robin or her babies when they hatched. A few weeks later all 5 babies are at full capacity in their nest and will soon fly away!

Eclipse Premier Party

Jen has thrown awesome parties for the Twilight, New Moon and now Eclipse movie premiers! It has been so much fun getting together with a bunch of friends and fans of the books for food, fun and games right before we all head to the theater together.

(I found these shirts at Target for a couple bucks the day of the party and had to grab them!)

Scott is such a great sport when it comes to taking me to things like this that he isn't too interested in! He finds it entertaining, I think, to see me so excited and doesn't make fun of the movies too much. :) We had a great night together, it was a super fun date!

Here we are with the Utah Victoria. Oh, and a mini Edward.
Can't wait for the next and last two movies!

Happy Father's Day!

Scott wanted to go up Provo canyon and do tinfoil dinners and s'mores for his special day! Everything was so packed by the time we got up there to find a spot, but he looked and looked found a secluded spot all to ourselves, despite my pessimism!
We enjoyed our dinners, devoured our s'mores and loved being in the beautiful mountains together celebrating Scott and the wonderful father and husband that he is.
We truly are lucky and very thankful for him and all that he does for the boys and I.
He is a loving, amazing father and I am so incredibly happy he is the one I get to share this parenting journey with.

Your family loves and adores you Daddy! Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Cohen!

We had a Toy Story party for Cohen's 3rd birthday at Pirate Island (due to inclement weather, boo!) with most of my family and Scott's too and some friends! Cohen's grandparents on both sides, 8 cousins and one best friend made up just about all of his favorite people and to top it off with awesome gifts, yummy food and cake, games and balloons! You could say he had a pretty good day. :)

Make a WiSh BiRtHdAy BoY!
We love and ADORE this little guy! He is growing up faster than we can keep up with and we are so so proud of who he is becoming! He is smart, caring, super funny, excited about life and loves to cuddle! He loves Star Wars, Toy Story, could be outside his entire life, loves going on drives, loves ice cream and chips, pop corn and candy, loves his brother in a brotherly way, adores his cousins and especially Daddy and loves swimming. Cohen is one of a kind, expresses his emotions openly... he tries to negotiate a trip to Grandma's almost everyday, loves Disneyland, Curious George and dressing up in costumes, etc. He loves being tickled and read to and is so excited to go to preschool. He gives us a run for our money daily and has taught me way more than I could ever teach him. The joy this little soul brings me everyday is beyond words...

Cohen quotes:
One day when he was being exceptionally awkward in getting dressed Scott said, "Are you serious!?" And he responded enthusiastically, "Ya! Like George!" (Serious sounds like CURious)

Cohen tells (well, yells at) Ryder on a regular basis saying, "It's NOT FUNNY!" when Ry is smiling and just genuinely happy about life. I try to explain to Cohen that he is not laughing at him, Ry is just smiling!" Mr. Serious, you should try it...
