Lehi Round Up 2009

What is summer without the Lehi Round up rodeo. I always have a blast. This year my mom was out of town, but we all still got tickets for my dad for his birthday and went. Kelton loved being with Drew and Hunter. John didn't move an inch because he was so busy watching the rodeo with Wil and my Dad. Eveyone else enjoyed Lisle, the clown, rodeo burgers, soda, and snow cones. Thanks dad for helping this tradition stay alive.

Sidewalk Art

Trey and I took the kids to the Gateway to see the Sidewalk Art display. Artists from all over come and draw using chalk on the side walks to raise money for the children's Foster Care in Utah. It was really neat and the boys even thought it was cool. Here are some of the drawings.

We got there early, so most of the artists were still working on their projects.

My favorite, even though it's not finished! It is 3D so when it's done it will look like you can see right down into the ground.

The boys loved this one of a black dragon. It was pretty cool, but we didn't get a photo of it. And then at the end of all the professonal drawings the kids got to draw with sidewalk chalk. It was really fun.

2009 Summer Swim Lessons

We took swim lessons during June.

John was a bit scared at first, but now wakes up and puts on his swim suit, even if he doesn't have swim lessons that day. Kelton on the other hand chose to have a bit of an attitude and spend a few days watching, but all in all loved it.

Keith got to play on the play ground next to the pool while the boys had their lessons, so he even had some fun.

We LOVE swimming and Summer!

T-Ball Here We Come

Kelton has started T-ball! He was a little upset when I told him he had to play t-ball (the city won't let you play coach pitch til 1st grade), but after a practice and a game he is hooked. And can I say pretty darn good. He is a slugger!! He doesn't quite get the outfield thing yet, but is catching on quick.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Trey! I know this is a bit late comming, but You're the Greatest! I love you and so do the boys. Thanks for doing so much for us.

On Father's Day my family went to my parents and we had a BBQ. And then the kids played outside after it stopped raining. After a while a looked a Trey and sked if he had seen Keith. Then my sister, Jo said he and Kate (her daughter Keiths age) had headed out to the gym with the rest of the kids. We went to check on them and this is what we found.

Well, without you honey, our kids would be muddy and lost. Thanks for all you do. We love you.

Happy Birthday Dad

We celebrated my dad's Birthday today and I am so glad that I got the greatest dad in the world. He has taught me how to work, play, read and pray. He has taught me not only with words, but with action. He can tell stories better than anyone I know and I just sit there every Sunday after dinner and listen to his lessons on life, his quotes that ring true, and his stories that can make you laugh till you cry. Thank you for keeping high expectations for me. It has helped me know who I am and what I want. To a man that I look up to and am PROUD to call dad, Happy Birthday!

I love you.

Hill Air Force Air Show

On Friday I went to Cedar City for the Utah Summer Games Gymnastics Competition and Trey took the older boys to the Air show. From what I hear the boys LOVED it. I hope it happens again next year so I get to go. (Trey took all of these photos-he's great)

Garage Sales and Donutes

What do you ask could make my chocolate donute-loving kido go from this

To This!

All you have to do is take the 2 donutes out of each hand!

(Don't worry he ate about 2 before I could get it all away from him)

Johns Birthday

John had his 3rd birthday party on June 4th, (not his real birthday , but his party). John has been our little ball of fire. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to tease. I think he gets it from his grandpa Chatfield:) He always has a smile on his face and is sure that he can keep up with his brother Kelton who is 5. When I asked John what kind of party he wanted he first said he wanted a shotgun party. Then he said he wanted a swim party. And finally decided that he would have a blast having a combine party with Mack. Mack Fowers is only 2 weeks younger than than John and lives 2 doors down from us. They both couldn't have asked for a better party. The party had a Pirate theme and Captain Hook came. We had a huge blow-up water slide, cookies, and otter pops! It was a blast. Thank you Shannon, Brandon, and Mack for sharing a great party with us. Thank you everyone for comming and for the gifts.

Happy Birthday Johnny, we love you!
