We spent a week in vernal with my parents and my sister Brenda came down from Minnesota. It was so much fun to see her and spend time with the grandparents :) Here's a bit of what we spent our time doing. Pics are the best way to show all our happenings, so prepare yourself, there are many...Football...
Bubbles...
Remote controlled cars...
Fishing...which apparently is soooo exhausting :)
Geocaching...if you don't know what it is, google it, it is our new favorite thing!!!
And last but not least, hiking... Kai was the biggest hiker, we climbed the hugest mountain! He was so proud of himself that he did the whole hike. It was definitely a challenge, but felt so good, we were pretty high up and got some great pics. He was my little hiking buddy, while Meili slept in the camper with grandma. He did ask me on the way down if I would hold him, but with further proding it wasn't because he was tired, it was because he was afraid he was going to get bit by a rattle snake :) No worries, we didn't happen upon any...
These babies miss you Daddy, but we are keeping ourselves busy. Here's to the next 3 weeks :)
Well it's time for round two here. Mei has started potty training herself so I decided to seize the moment and jump on the bandwagon again. It is exhausting and draining, but I really think she will be much faster and easier than Kai if we can just master wearing underwear without feeling like its a diaper. She's been naked for a week and its time to graduate to undies! We bought some elmo and tinkerbell undies and she's in love with them. She even tried to stick her cell phone in her 'underwear pocket'. I'm praying for strength to tackle this again. Wish me luck...
We had so much fun making these, Kai asked for spidey this year, so that is what I did! We took some friends to the local bounce house and kai had so much fun. Then they all came over for cake and icecream. 
Kai rocked at hitting the pinata and it was a huge 'hit' haha (no pun intended) with all of the kids. Too bad they are 20 bucks a pop or we'd do that everyday!
Even Mei enjoyed herself, especially when she gets to wear a party hat! 
We went to the parade dressed to the hilt. It was hot, but we still had a lot of fun, we even had random people taking pics of the kids, haha. We went with rich's cousins. He was working, so it was really nice to have family to go with. 
Nate was pretty much the fill in Daddy for the day and took Kai's bucket and filled it with water so he could soak the people on the floats with his squirt gun at the end of the parade, which he completely rocked :)
Later that night we had a big 4th of July party with our friends, whom we love so much :) It was such a blast, great food great company, and fireworks!
We went to fireworks with lots of family! Rich's cousins came with us, and Rich's brother was in town as well. Even my sister was there, we had a full house, but it was so much fun to be with everyone. 
This picture is after I threw a fit, because I hadn't been in a single picture all weekend and was sick of it. Everyone made fun of me and there are now like 30 pictures of me taken randomly by sarah, here is one.... Hahaha thanks sarah ;)
Their sunday 4th of July outfits :) If you can't tell, I love to color coordinate :)
Last but not least, here is proof of the newest relationship formed, Congratulations uncle sean, you have finally won her over :)
Oh and last but not least, here are a few of the women of "sean's smokehouse & bbq" in all our glory, enjoy :)
