How to celebrate Erin's bday (Saturday)

Don't be alarmed its only the divers at the Mayan. Erin wanted to go there for her bday dinner and our amazing waiter had the divers come wish her a happy birthday.

We all sang to her with some cake and a giant sparkler.

After dinner we had some time to kill so Lyssa and Mums took a ride on some motorbikes.

Erin chose to see Despicable Me in 3D. Here we are waiting for the movie to start. I wasn't expecting much, but I really like the movie. Very Cute!

Thanks Papa and Mums for so much fun as always!

Blog slacker

The last month I have been pretty bad at blogging and I probably will be for the next month. I was training for my bike ride and now I will be focusing on a half marathon I am doing in August. Anyway, here is what we have been doing for the last month. I am sure I missed a few things, but you can see we have been very busy.

To end the 4th of July activities Rich and I took a quick nap and then went to see Toy Story 3 with Erin. We loved it! My favorite of course was Buzz.

Scroll down if you are interested in seeing what we have been up to this summer thus far.

4th of July

Lyssa and Kenz started out the 4th of July by running in a 5k!

The last two years Rich has been helping put together the Honeyville 4th of July festivities. This year he arranged rides for the kids. It was a huge hit! Here is Lyssa, Erin and Isi on one of the rides. Isi couldn't get enough of this ride.

Lyssa and other young women face painting. They really did a great job!

Rich teaching the young women how to give back change. Not sure it worked.

Seth, Peter and chef Andrea helping cook hamburgers and hot dogs! We couldn't have done it without their help. Thanks guys and thanks to all those who spent Friday and Saturday working so hard to make the celebration a success. I am hoping next year we get to sit back and relax!

Moonlight bike ride

Mums, Ashley, April, Papa and I rode our bikes for the 22 mile Moonlight Madness Bike Ride at Antelope Island. It is so much fun riding at night, but the wind about did us all in. It was definitely hard, but so worth it!

Snowbird

The kids swam everyday!

When they weren't swimming they were playing in the game room and outside.

We went to see Shrek the 3rd. Not my favorite, but it was cute.

Thanks papa and mums for all the fun!!!

Memorial Weekend

The last four days have been tons of fun! We have had food, games, tents, fishing, rockets, family pictures and lots of family.

Lunch for the ladies.

Rockets for the men.

The kids played non-stop!

And the big kids were a great help watching the little ones when needed.
Thanks everyone for coming, thanks Rob and Diane for planning and thanks Katie and Diana I took pics from your blogs.
