Girls Night Out-Pedicures

My sister had the fabulous idea of doing a "Girls Night Out" while I was in town, so she set up for the 4 of us to go get pedicures together. My Dad & Brother were kind enough to watch my kids & off we went.

Kellie was laughing as her foot was being scrubbed to death!

My Mom had never had a pedicure before & was enjoying the hot bath for her feet & the heated back massage. Once her feet actually started getting worked on her level of calmness changed a bit.

I couldn't resist taking a little video because it was so funny. If you listen closely you'll hear her comment that she has 55 year old "virgin feet". (I hope you don't mind me posting this Mom-I had to it is such a fun memory!)

This picture was taken seconds after I stopped recording the video & tells the true story of how she felt! Hahaha I love you Mom!!

What pretty feet!!

I had SUCH a good time & haven't laughed that hard in a long long time!

We hopped in the truck together & decided to get some delicious food from Chadders. (The AF knock off of In & Out Burger)

My Mom couldn't stop admiring how soft & beautiful her feet were! I think she might be addicted!! :) We need to make Girls Night Out a permanent tradition. Thanks Mom, Kellie, & Kim-I had a great time!!

Mini Pool Party

It didn't take long for the party to get started & the first chance they got the kids requested a pool party at Grandma & Grandpa's house. All seven of the grand kids had a blast running around & hopping in & out of the little pool.

My parents had a fun sprinkler that sprayed water around everywhere, but the only way my kids would get near it was when it was turned almost all the way down!

Brinley with her sun umbrella-she isn't much of a water girl.

Brienna (my other niece), Trinity, & Sierra

Grayden loved basking in the sun with all the big kids!

The girls were in heaven when we put the slide into the pool.

Even though Grayden didn't spend much time in the water he LOVED being outside.

Brinley had gone inside to get some dry clothes & was taking a long time to come back so I decided to check on her. I found her asleep right in the middle of the hall with a half eaten "snack" in hand. She was wrapped in her blanket & when I went to pick her up & put her on the couch I found that the blanket was the ONLY thing she had on!!

Who needs clothes in the summer anyway right?

Trinity latched onto one of the little bikes while we were there & probably put hundreds of miles on those little tires!!

Grayden & Brienna sharing a ride together.

The kids loved the pop up tent & bus we brought & Brienna kept poking her head out the window to say, "HI!" She is such a cutie pie!!

Lehi City Parade

After spending over a month in UT during one of the busiest months of the year (as far as activities going on) I have a TON of pictures to post. I would like to say that I will be posting once a day like I did once upon a time, BUT I make no promises that I'll keep up, so don't hold your breath. However, I am going to kick off my month of fun with the first fun filled day that we spent in UT starting with the Lehi City Parade.

Trinity offered to spray anyone who needed a little cooling off during the parade!

My parents' ward won the award for best float in the competition this year. It turned out so cute! Everyone had to do a float under the theme, "If I could I would..."

This is the new Bishop spraying my dad & another ward member as they walk past.

The girls loved seeing all the different "mini floats" that had entered & really loved this float...

"it's candy land Mom!" Brinley told me.

The highlight of the parade was when Sponge Bob, Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, Tigger, Minnie & Mickey came by!!

Matt and I actually got a picture together, courtesy of Trinity, and it turned out pretty good!

After the parade was over we met up with my older brother, older sister and her family at Bajio's for a delicious lunch. A Bajio's really needs to open up in Denver!! Once we were finished eating we were off to get ready for the Oquirrh Mt. Temple open house. Check out the previous 2 posts for pics of that & Grayden's B-Day party that same night.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

When I told my Mom we were coming to visit in July she made sure to get us a date for the Oquirrh Mt Temple open house. It was a beautiful day & a beautiful Temple, and I was so glad that Matt was able to come with us before heading back to Denver.

Grayden's First Birthday

I feel bad that I didn't make Grayden's cake, but we were so busy I barely had time to decorate the house a little & personalize the store bought cake!
