Mall Fun

August 2011- So Jer works on Saturday and I have to find fun things to do with the kids so I don't go crazy. Today we went to the mall. The kids loved it, I loved it. We were all happy.

Hats!

June 29th- My new hobby is designing hats. I designed a few for mom, Maegan, and Grandee. This is mom's hat. I forgot to get a pic of Maegan's hat, but apparently she loves it and loves to wear hats to. Go Maegs.

I designed two hats for mom and let her choose. This is the one she didn't choose.

Grandee's hat is my absolute favorite ever.

Trafalga-Lehi

June 28th- After Leatherby's we went to Trafalga in Lehi and had a blast! Kevin and Maegan did the rock wall. The kids started in the play area.

Maegan took the girls on the pirate ship.

Kevin, Lexi, and Maegan on the waterboats. We were told Lily couldn't go because she was too small, even though she's gone before. I wasn't going, just Kev and the girls and the guy told me that someone over 16 had to take Lexi on it. I assured him Kevin was over 16. hehe. Poor Kev.

Poor Lily had to watch. She was really upset at first.

Lily got to ride the airplane ride a few times. It depends on who is running the ride as to what Lily gets to ride.

Leatherby's

July 28th-Mom, Grandee, and Maegan are adventuring around the U.S. and one of their last stops was in Provo, Utah. We went to Leatherby's. The kids loved it. We got too busy eating the icecream to take pictures of it until it was done. Maegs was the only one who didn't finish her icecream. We got Emily's Raspberry Brownie one, so good! Mom, of course, got Marianne's Banana Sunday. Grandee got a mint something. So delicious!

Lexi actually smiling for a picture!

Toys R Us

July 2011-Lexi really wanted to go to the toy store so we went. While there they stopped to play on the trucks. This little girl joined Lexi and they got into a fight over who had a sister named Lily. The litle girl would not understand that they both had sisters named Lily. Lexi tried to explain. She even showed her Lily, but the kid would not admit that could be Lily's name. Wierd.

The Giant Hamster Ball

July 16th, 2011- The Party to end them all, I think that's what this was called. Ryan was turning 29 and so they rented a huge Hamster ball and had a BBq to celebrate. I got there while Jer was at work and went with Danielle. It was so fun. Later Jer got off work and joined us. He went on his own and the ball pants him. It was hilarious.

They made sure to give Jer a huge pushing start.

The ankle thing broke on Jer and so he wore it as an anklet.

I went again, not strapped in so I would bounce around more. IT was AWESOME!

Tamara & Matt got there and Tamara went by herself. Matt didn't end up going. Tamara had a great time too.

4th of July

4th July, 2011- Happy Birthday Ryan. We first went to Trafalga Lehi with Jer. He loved seeing the girls on all the rides. Lexi was having a blast. Lily was super cranky (for her) and so she just wanted to be held or wanted to ride on the ponies. She was happy to go on the pirate ship too. I took Lexi on the go carts, we had a blast, then Lil didn't want to go, so Jer took Lexi. We went on the bumper boats with a bunch of really mean teenagers who squirted the girls even after Lily was crying. I got off the ride early and held her so she didn't have to be squirted. They were seriously jerky teenagers. After Lily got a nap, we went to the Mahoney's for Ryan's birthday. We had a barbeque and went swimming.

Lily had one of her bathing suits on, but took it off and went in only her swim diaper.

Reagan dove into the water to get the rings.

Lexi loved swimming.

Lily eventually enjoyed herself, even if she did have to get wet.
