Jumping Jelly beans, June is Busy!!

We started June off very busy. We had one last dance recital of Caymans. She performed at the Woods Cross Jr High school and did a great job! We love watching our little dancer. Candice and the kids came up to it and so did Grandma Connie. It was a fun night.


That weekend we went to Cherry Hill and saw some princesses and went swimming. We have never been swimming there before and the kids had a good time. The water slides were pretty fast and the kids didn't love that, but the pools were fun.
Cory found his fathers day gift a little early so we got it out and used it that night. I had gotten a fire pit for the patio and so we roasted smores. It was yummy.


Cayman and Cooper started swimming lessons that following Monday and they have been doing a really good job. Cooper loves to swim just like his big sister. Here are some pics of Cayman.
Cory went out of town that week so the kids and I picked up Aunt Alli and we went to the Ogden Dinosaur Museum. We have a year pass and it is a fun place to go. We took a picnic and played at the park. It was so fun. Cooper loved seeing all the Dinosaurs. We will go back a few more times for sure!!







That weekend we were asked by the Jackmans to come to the Sand dunes so we met them there on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. We took Grandma Connie with us and left early that morning. When we got there we set up our chairs and Dallas took Cory on a wild ride. They are in the green razor. They were gone about an hour and went off a huge jump. Cory had a great time even though he found out on Tuesday that the jump had fractured 2 of his vertebra and would need 4-6 weeks of recovery. He is on pain killers and can't do any heavy lifting or physical activity. So much for the fun, some one always gets hurt!! Back to the fun, we also had a good time letting the kids play together in the sand. We had lunch and good snacks to eat.

.
Cooper loved to sit on Cohens little dirt bike and pretend he was driving. It was so cute. After lunch and a little hanging out Dallas took our family and Connie on the Razor. We had fun going up and down the sand dunes, around trails, and doing the roller coaster. At one point Cory and I got a little wet and we looked down at Cooper and he was grinning so big that his drool was getting us wet! He was loving it!! It was so funny. He was giggling and laughing. Cayman was hanging on for dear life and had a fun time too!




It is always fun to get together and visit and play. After dinner, Dallas took Cooper on a little ride on the motorbike. Cooper got on a helmet and off they went.

It was only about 2minutes later that Dallas came to a stop, Cooper had fallen asleep. Cory went to get him and then he woke up. Funny! Cooper was so tired. He hadn't had a nap yet. We had fun at Little Sahara sand dunes and thanks to Candice and Dallas for the invite!!
This Friday was Caymans final swimming lesson and she passed preschool level 3 to advance to just Level 3. She is doing an amazing job swimming. Here are her last lessons and certificate.







That night we went to Gateway with Connie and Candice to go shopping and hang out. Cory was once again out of town. We had fun watching the Chalk art going on and letting the kids draw with the chalk and play in the fountain. No one got wet of course.





This Saturday was a BBQ at one of Cory's co workers house for achieving their goals. We drove all the way to Stockton to have some fun. Cayman was so excited because this is Penny's house and she has horses that they can ride. We got to ride Apache and Cayman loved it.
Cooper wanted to ride but wouldn't get on with out me. So, skirt and all I hopped up on that horse and Cooper and I went for a ride. He loved it!!

We had some good food, the kids played with other kids, visited and had a great time. Before we left, Cayman had to have one more ride on Apache and this time she even liked it more. Fun for sure.


After we left we headed into the Gateway again for the Chalk Art Festival. It is always better the last night because the Chalk drawings are usually completed. We saw some very great art work. Here are some of our favorites.






The kids got free sno-cones, cotton candy and then they colored their hair.


What a great day we had. Fathers day was today and Cory got toast and Chocolate milk for breakfast. The kids got him cards and a box of Mindy Mints and Madden 2011 football for the Wii. I got him a Golf GPS distance unit for his golf game and we had a good time at church. Cory is a great dad. He is loving with the kids, plays with them for hours, changes diapers, gives them love and is just the best. The kids are so lucky to have him as their daddy. Happy Fathers day!! We love you!!
