24th of July fun!

We started off the day by going to the Ogden parade. I just have to say that I am not a big parade fan but thought that Logan would really like to go with Elliott and Rya and also to get a bunch of candy. Little did we know that they can't throw candy now at the Ogden parade...sucky!
I think it would be fun to watch if you actually knew who people were, at least SOMEONE in the parade because we knew NOBODY! These horses were soooo cool though!
Me and Rya, I love this girl!
Logan and Elliott, don't they look so excited! They both had their sacks ready for candy, which came few and far between!
Now for the fun part of the night! We went over to my sister and brother in law's house in South Weber. You can tell in this picture that it is just a little windy!
We let the kids do some sparklers before the "Big Show" that the boys put on for us!
Cassidy, Gen, and Karsyn watching from the blanket that started close to the sidewalk and ended up practically on the porch!
Sorry Mom, this picture just showed how windy it really was. For all those who don't know, South Weber is ALWAYS windy and this night was no exception.
Elliott and Logan doing sparklers
Hailey and Kinlee!
Rya and Makinlee, the best of buddies! They were so funny to watch the whole time they were in town because they were either the best friends or fighting and hitting each other. While the fireworks show they were hugging the whole time, I think because they were both very scared!
Aunt G and Karsyn
OK Gen you are a dork. Here is me and my bestest friends...my sisters! After Kurt and Clay managed to do everything but kill us all with their firework show, we started to get a little bored so we took some fun pictures!
Gen, really...
We had the best 24th of July this year and we were so lucky that Lacey and the girls could be here with us. We BBQ'd hamburgers and hot dogs and then once it got dark Clay and Kurt put on a show. Not only did we have the wind, but Clay may have had a few "not legal" fireworks that he picked up "somewhere"! One that he would do would start on the ground and then the wind would send it flying in the air, almost hitting everything from the neighbors houses and even my poor Grandma that figured by the time she got up and ran away, the firework would be out. Luckily Clay ran over and stomped on the firework flying off under her chair...scary! Nothing more fun than spending time with family on a holiday! Love you guys!

More fun with cousins!! ( a bazillion pictures too)

Well another fun day with all our cousins...this time LAGOON!! Grandma Gaylene was nice enough to get us tickets to go to Lagoon, and knowing that we would not get away with not going this year with Logan, we packed up (what it feels like anyway) and put our sunscreen on and headed out! Here is Rya and Makinlee in the boats. We started with those because last year we started with the egg drop and everyone was a little scared to go on the rides after that...starting off with the nice easy boats was a much better idea!
Logan and Kinlee on the helicopters, Kinlee in her cute hat!
Rya and Elliott! You will notice that Rya is holding onto whoever she is riding with on almost every ride. So cute!
The cars, those always seemed so much cooler when we were little, but I guess that means they must be fun for them now!
Everyone on Puff!! Hailey and Kinlee, who loved it, Grandpa Ron and Rya, hiding of course, and Kurt and Logan, who always loves this ride, and then I think Lacey and Elliott were in the back, Elliott screamed the whole time!
Logan and Rya...check out Elliott in the background really aiming for something or someone!
The merry-go-round!

Cassidy on the merry-go-round!
Karsyn with daddy and Logan on the horse and Zebra
The bumper cars, Logan was so excited to do these after going to the demolition derby over the 4th of July so that she could "crash" into cars!
Me and my retarded husband...he isn't missing a tooth, it is a chunk of chocolate or something!
We usually don't go in the water but it was pretty hot so we thought we would let them get a little wet...
Me and Kurt without his chocolate tooth, and we stayed dry too!
Karsyn and Kennedy wanted to get in so bad but I didn't want to deal with 3 wet kids the rest of the day so we let them just put their fingers in!
Hailey is such a good mom, here she is running with Elliott and Kinlee!
So wet!
Not good to be wearing white when you get sopping wet!
Elliott taking a little drink break
Cassidy playing with Kinlee
Me and Lace watching the kids while we stay nice and dry! I miss having you here all the time Lacey, this was so much fun and I don't want to see you go... :(
Lace, Me, Hailey, and Mom!
The Whales...she is getting a little big for them but still loves it
OK, this was hilarious!!! Logan was all stoked to go no the "Terror Ride" and convinced everyone else to go and then she was the only one coming out of it crying. Here are a few pictures that Kurt took while on the ride.
I don't think she liked it as much as she thought she would!! Haha!
We took Karsyn on the merry-go-round a few times because she loved it so much. Here is Grandma Lindee taking her because I get sick just watching.
And Grandma Laurie with Kennedy, who does not like it as much as Karsyn.
After a long day Kennedy is sitting back in her stroller just chilaxin!
Me and Grandma Gaylene!!! Thanks so much Gaylene for getting us the tickets, and coming with us, you are the best!
Just a funny picture of Rya while we waited for the crew to go down Rattle Snake Rapids
I waited until the end to give the girls some licorice because they love it but get so messy! Here is Karsyn chowing down!
And Kennedy too!
Lacey and Elliott on the Odysea!
And the log ride...All you can see is Ron and Kurt in this picture but the kids are in there somewhere!
Grandpa Ron and Rya waving to me on the Odysea!

Lacey and Elliott on the sky ride...which Elliott said ended up being her favorite ride!
Kurt...he is such a dork!
Hailey and Cassidy! We had so much fun at Lagoon this year and I am so glad that we could spend the time with Lacey and the kids and the rest of the fam too!
