Movie in the Park

This week is Lehi Round Up Days and there are various activities going on each day. Last night was movie in the park, where they have a huge blow up screen and everyone brings blankets and pillows and whatever and you can enjoy a free movie in the park. They showed Night at the Museum. We decided to take advantage of this and pack the kids and snacks and blankets and head over to the ball park. BJ was a poop ,of course, and wanted to stay home, but him being a party pooper worked out great for me cuz that way I didn't have to take Jace and he could go to bed at his normal time in his own bed, and I could enjoy the movie. So Julianne and I loaded up the van with the kids, blankets, pillows and treats. We met her friend Maegen and her kids Jada and Jenna there. We let the kids run around on the grass and play till it was dark and the movie started. The kids were more excited about being up late and only watched snipits of the movie, it would have been better if the dummies in front of us didn't have chairs and then we could have laid down and watched it, but oh well. It was alot of fun and I think the kids had a great time. Today there is craft vendors in the park and a western bbq tonight. Sounds like fun I'm hoping to go over and check it out!!

ps. I forgot my camera so no pictures of us at the park:(

Happy Birthday Beej!!

Yesterday was BJ's 30th birthday!! He had to work so the kids and I packed a lunch and went and picked him up and went up big cottonwood canyon(since he works at the mouth of it)and had a picnic. It was so much fun! The kids had to take him balloons so they each got to carry one in to him and they thought that was really neat. BJ loves the mountains so we thought eating in the canyon would be fun, and it was. We ate, and then the kids threw rocks into the river, it was alot of fun. On the way home from lunch we had to stop at Cabela's for gift cards for his birthday. When we got home we decorated the house with black ballons and crate paper. We had a nice dinner at home and then had his mom come over for cake and ice cream. It was a good day and I hit the jack pot with the gift I got him. I have the hardest time keeping secrets, but I did it! I decided to get him season tickets for BYU football. Now any of you who know BJ know that this is the best gift ever!! He was so happy and so was I. I finally got him something he won't/can't take back and it isn't a gift card to Cabela's. Happy Birthday Beej, I love you!!

Jed & Maegen's Wedding

Adi trying to get some shade while waiting for Jed and Maegen to come out of the temple. It was SO stinking hot!!!

We decided to go up Friday morning to help decorate the church. We got there about 1:00 and they had been there since 11:00 and can I just say we didn't even leave the church till about 7:00 and they still had a little left to do. That is how much decorating they do!! It looked so amazing tho. Her family goes all out and it looked so great, you wouldn't even know you were in a church gym. They had a huge tent set up with tables under it for refreshments. On the tent they had lights strung up all around it and all around in the inside too. After the lights were up we had to wrap tuelle around all of them. It looked amazing, but was kind of a pain in the butt!!

This is what the inside of the tent looked like.

This is what it looked liked from the outside. (We had to tie tuelle bows with a flower stuck in the middle around all the chairs. Looks good tho!)

Here is the cake, it was yummy!! It had coconut on the frosting to give it "the look" she wanted, and Jed is allergic to coconut, but she had already ordered it and wouldn't change so they were very careful while feeding each other the cake. It was a beautiful cake, loved it!!

Jed and Maegen right before the reception started. The backdrop they stood in front of was so pretty. I don't think the pictures do it justice, and it took them so long to decorate it. Her dress was also so amazing!!

Adi in her "princess" dress. Adi, and Maegen's 2 nieces all had the same dress. They looked so cute!!

This is what Adi looked like the morning after. We used alot of hairspray to make her hair stay so pretty!!
We left the house at 7:15am and didn't get to bed till after 10:00pm. It was a long day, but wonderful day, and the kids did great with having little naps and running around all day.

Swim Lessons

Last week Brayden, Adi, and Devon started swim lessons. They are taking them at Julianne's aunts house in Draper. We tried signing them up at the pool here in Lehi, but the sessions fill up so fast we could never get them in, so Julianne got this set up and it works out great. They love swim lessons!! They even get to go down the slide, so much fun!

Monkey scoot

I had to capture this before Jace quits doing it and is walking. He has mastered crawling and is quite fast at it, so he moved on to this monkey scoot thing. I really don't know how to explain it, except that he looks like a monkey while doing it. Everywhere we go and he does it people just start laughing, they think it is hilarious. He mostly does it at church and serioulsy people just stop and laugh, he is quite the crowd gatherer. He can walk, but he is so fast at this that he drops and monkeys it around. I am hoping soon he will just walk, but for now it is pretty funny!
