PICNIC OF THE WEEK

So for the week of the 4th we went to Mack Park in Smithfield for our picnic. Mattie took us on a hike and if you have ever been to this park you know the hiking trails are in the overgrowth. Kayse was in the backpack so he and I tried our best to not get caught in the tree's and brush. They played on the equipment for a minute but everything was HOT! It is a beautiful, beautiful park and we love to play there.

This past week we were in NewCastle and we didn't exactly get to a park but we had a picnic everyday at Aunt Julie and Uncle Rawlin's new house. We went down to help them paint so we ate at their place. The kids had a blast playing on the dirt piles and Kael, Teegan, and 'Jake' (the dog) took lots of walks. On Friday we celebrated Brit's Birthday at the Veyo Pool. I haven't been there for at least 10 years. Great memorie's!!

All of us in the pool!

'Weegan's' sporting the eye-glass look. She is such a little cutie. I wish you could all hear her voice. It make's me laugh. "Aunt Wena, what are you doing?"

Justin, Mattie, Jordan, and the Birthday Girl!! You would think the twins are old enough to sit still for a pic but they were worse than Trey and Teegan!!

This week it is back to yardwork - thanks Matt for keeping my lawn green while I was gone - and cleaning up the house. While I was gone I got my windows and trim finished. It looks so great!! I have a grundle of painting to do now but it can be done a little at a time:) Matt and I get to take a trip to Washington for his district meetings at the end of the week. I am so excited to go spend time with Matt. He works with some great people and we all have a lot of fun together.

This weeks picnic place is Green Canyon (North Logan) - haven't ever been so can't give you directions but everyone is welcome to come:=)

Congrats to the little bro's. They were in Fallon, NV the week of the 4th for the SSI Rodeo. All the Western State's are invited and they ended up 5th in the Team Roping and Jordan was 4th in the Calf Roping. Jordan was awarded the All-Around and ended up bringing home a new horse trailer and a saddle. They also brought a few buckle's home from placing in each go and Utah won the team trophy. What a great way to end the Rodeo Chapter in my parent's life. They were so excited!! It was great to see. We love you!!!

So these pics are in our backyard. Matt is such a great DAD. Two Saturday's ago he made the kids a slip and slide. The next thing I knew he was showing them how to do it. I think he was having more fun than them ( i was having the most fun watching). I am so glad he is willing to make great memorie's with them. I know his dad has been a great example to him in that respect and I appreciate it more than either one of them will ever know. What a great family I have and what an AWESOME MAN I HAVE!!
