24th and the Derby

We went to Audy's family ranch for the 24th weekend..and had a so much fun!  Here are some of the pics to document the weekend!

Fishing is something Audy LOVES to do so we tagged along... Finn threw half the bank of rocks in the river, and Sophie took the opportunity to exfoliate her legs with the sandy dirt.

Grammy had these fabulous pools that were perfect for these two monkeys..the loved being naked in their own little pool!

Funny little man!

All of us at the bonfire.

Slam dunk.. Finn loves the basketball court!

Cheese!

My cute little family!!

Sophie dancing her little heart out!  She loved the music and everyone dancing around her!!

Cute Clara dancing with Soph.

Grammy and Soph dancing!  Finn wanted NOTHING to do with the dancing..so he and Audy just sat by the fire roasting marshmallows and watched from afar.

And the Derby.. this was the first year we took the kids to the derby and they thought it was so cool that the cars were trying to crash into each other.  All in all the derby was not very good this year, but we had all kinds of sweets and treats and had fun just being their with our awesome family!






Finn LOVES his uncle Rob!  





Sophie jamming to the music!



Thanks Grammy and Grampy for a great weekend, we love coming to the ranch to play and we especially love you!! 







The 4th weekend!

For the 4th of July we head up to Audy's family ranch for the weekend for nonstop family fun!  This year we had a mechanical bull... Oh boy did Finn think this was the coolest thing ever!  I was so proud of him he got on all by himself and LOVED it!  Sophie was a little more hesitant so Audy rode with her, and she had a great time!  Hilary Audy's sister even took a turn!


Sophie and her favorite person when we go to the ranch... La La!

We took the kids to the Oakley rodeo this year and they were so entertained!!  We had so much fun!
Finn was digging the music, he was dancing up a storm!

This is Sophie waving to/with the rodeo queens, she thought they were amazing!

We went with my Mom and Dad, grandpa and grandma..and my brother and his two cute boys, who Finn adores!

The rodeo was way more fun with kids they were in awe of all the animal especially the horses!  The fireworks were by far the best for me, because they made my kids so happy and excited...Finn kept saying mom the fireworks make me happy!  Me too Finn, me too!

Summer Lovin

Some of the things we have been up to this summer thus far......
Going to Daddy's softball games... always a favorite!

Playing in our back yard...the fun never ends!  Finn and Sophie love to swim and have "sleep overs" in their playhouse, they love picnics, and hiding in the slide. 

Hiking with Grammy and Grampy up Nobblets.

Going to this house with Grammy where she buys her fresh eggs...so cute they have 80 chickens they had two baby cows and a litter of piglets, Sophie and Finn were in heaven here!
Sophie got pooped on by one of the baby cows, she and Finn both got to ride them but I didn't get a pic!(dang)
Sophie picking out fresh eggs to take home! yum.


I adore this age these monkeys are so funny!  They are so sweet with on another.  I love to see them play and listen to their conversations, and see their vivid imaginations!  Life doesn't get better than these two..I am one lucky mama!


Little Red

This year I did the Little Red bike ride... I had so much fun!  We rode 50 miles and it was beautiful!
Here some fun pics of the day!

Love all these Ladies...this is before we started to ride!

My Cute mom!
Sunni looking hot!

The pic on the left is with the Alice Telford she started this whole bike ride in the 80's and she is still riding!  I hope when I am her age I am still riding my bike!

Such a fun day!  This guy was dressed up as Little Red so i had to have a pic with him!

MS Bike ride

The end of June Audy and I did the Best Dam Bike Ride in Logan for MS.  We were there supporting my sister!  If you don't know my sister she is one amazing woman!  The week before this ride she rode her bike from the Jordan River temple to the St. George temple just over 300 miles in 3 days!  Then the next week she came up to Logan for this ride and rode another 100 miles, she is my hero!  The MS bike ride raises money to help find a cure for this awful disease and helps raise awareness.  Some of our amazing friends and family helped Audy and I raise money for this ride thank you again it means so much to us for all of your love and support!

 Audy and I camped in our care...
 This was our veiw..
Right before all the "Sunni's World" team ready to go!

 Cute Dan, Audy's friend was up riding as well, so he was nice enough to hang back with us.
Just stopping for lunch!

  The end of our ride...my first 100 miles!  Sunni was there to greet me at the end with a big hug!  

Birthday's and bowling

We surprised my Dad for his birthday this year at his favorite restaurant Red Lobster.





So everyone from my family could make it but my little sister Cydnee,  I didn't want her to be left out so I brought a framed picture of her to set on the table, so it was like she was there..I think people walking by that saw the picture thought it was her memorial or something we got a lot of weird looks!  Love ya Cyd! :)






................................................................................................................................................................
My Mother-in-law got a groupon for bowling up in Park City, so we all got together Hilary was in town and it was right before McKinley left for his mission to Argentina.
 After bowling!
 Just missing Taylor!
 Uncle Kin!



The kids absolutely LOVED bowling, they still are talking about "bowling in Park City!"  We are so glad to have spent some fun quality time with Kin before he left!
