Cabin Fun!

Our family has recently made it a fun tradition to visit this beautiful place thanks to my Dad's friend who lends us his cabin, 4 wheelers, motorcycle, and this year his jeep to cruise around in. All I gotta say is that I need to find me a friend like that.

Crue, Ryker, and Violet playing in the jeep.
Ryker really loves the outdoors.
Ryker always wants to have his shirt off lately it's hilarious. It must be a boy thing

My favorite tree.

This pond is absolutely beautiful and the kids had a great time playing in it.

Violet

Nothin but blue skies and buttcrack (Hee hee! Had to put that one in here.)

Pond critters.

My little explorer.

Ryker couldn't get enough of the fourwheelers! He had a blast.

Violet and I by the campfire.

My little daredevil.

I loved the beautiful scenery up there and to think it's all just up farmington canyon.

I loved looking up and seeing all of the tall trees!

Also nothing beats a good campfire!

We are getting ready to say goodbye to the summer days and this was a great way to do it. Ryker will be starting kindergarten and he has already started soccer. I must say I am very excited for fall I don't know why maybe because I will be reuniting with a certain someone that I love and miss!

What to do with all of these sunny days.

These are just a few cute pictures I have collected over the last few weeks. As you can see in my shadow my belly has grown. Gary and I found out we are having a baby BOY. We are certainly excited to meet the third and final addition to our family!Ryker, Me, and Violet.

Me and my little brother Dallen.

We took a trip to Lagoon with my stepmom and sistah's. Here is violet tired as can be all tuckered out after lagoona beach!

See the thrill on this kids face? He was in hog heaven!

Same with this lil munchkin as soon as she woke up she really took to the rides like a pro. She was so stinkin cute.

We stayed at Lagoon until it closed! We were all deliriously tired to say the least.

And then there's the days we spend at home and Violet gets to play with her best friend Ripley!

The Fourth of July weekend!

Saturday heading to the Kaysville parade!
Ryker got lots of taffy's and such!
He was so excited about these fireworks he just couldn't wait!
Violet loved the fireworks! She was getting a little too close. Lucky I was there to hold her back!

Rykes loves a good firework!I lit almost all of the fireworks this year! Usually I let Gary take over. I have been missin out! next year we will have to go half and half.

These cuties kept hugging it was so sweet!

I just love Violet's enthusiasm here she's so cute!

My Dad spent the whole day with us so we wouldn't have to be lonely without Gary.

What a swell Poppa!

Poppa Hugs!

It was such a pretty sunset that night.

Fireworks at Davis! I haven't been to a big firework show for 2 years. Ryker has always been afraid of them but this year we were able to go no fears at all ( yay! Ryker) & Violet did awesome she loved them! She kept saying pretty! and cute! everytime they would go off.

Gotta love em'

Sunday we went to a barbeque at Poppa Bill & Grandma Andi's

The kids just love running around in their amazing backyard! They recently got 10 chickens and the kids were having a ball chasing them around.

Violet was so funny that's all she wanted to do was chase these chickens around!

Ryker introducing Woody to a chicken friend.

Sparklers!

Monday we went to the layton park festivities and fireworks. I got the kiddos these balloon animal hat thingy's. Violet's was a pink poodle which she untagled immediately after this photo.

& Ryker's was this pirate hat. Notice the bones and his pirate face!

We are so grateful for our Independence day celebrations. Next year I'll get to share it with the man I love. We missed him extra and it wasn't the same without him. LOve ya Gary!

Happy 4th Of July!
