Art City Days

Next to Blanding, Springville is the best place I have lived so far. I love that is a small town, but still close enough to everything. We love our house, we love our neighbors, we love our ward...this is a great place to be.
Summer time is so fun and sooooooo busy, I feel like there is never a spare second. Last week was Art City days. We ran the 5K, Hayden rode her bike in the Childrens parade, we went to the firemen's breakfast, went to the real parade and saw a few of the hot air balloons going up. It was a lot of fun!!
She is getting to be quite the bike rider. Yesterday she rode all the way to Walgreen's and back...pretty darn good for a three year old!!
This was Hayden's reward after her long run at the end of the 5K...she ran half way around the track. :)
All of us after the big run. Colin and my Mom ran the whole thing. My Dad and I walked/jogged. If it weren't for my Dad I would have been much slower. Its sad that both my parents are in better shape than me!

Hitch'n a Ride

The other morning Hayden opened the front door and told me there was a chicken on a motorcycle, so I looked outside and sure enough there was a chicken on a motorcycle!

Stylin!!

My neighbor Cari was nice enough to cut my kids hair. She did a great job and I think they turned out so cute! This was Carson first real hair cut and he did so good...not scared at all!! Here are my attempts at getting a "cute" picture of them.

Yard Work

Last weekend we put in our sprinkler system. I didn't have very much faith in Colins ability to get it done in one weekend, but he did it!!! We still have a lot to do, but the sprinklers are in and they work! Yay!
The other day were running some errands and Hayden out of the blue says she wants to ask Santa for goggles for Christmas. So me being the awesome Mom that I gave her an early Christmas present. She wore these things for like two days straight. She even napped in them...her eyes were bright red when she woke up!

Hee Haw

A couple of weeks ago we headed up to Hee Haw farms with our neighbors. We all had a great time despite getting pulled and given a ticket on the way up there. :(Do you think my tractors sexy?
Fun little train ride that almost killed us with tractor exhaust!
Hayden, Abby and Emma...Hayden LOVES these girls!!!!
Carson loved all the animals. The girls were all a little scared of the animals and didn't want touch them, but I couldn't keep Carson away. He just wanted the chase, pet and love them!
