Camping - July 2010

I took the girls camping in July with my family. Mark had to work so it was just me. We camped from Thursday to Sunday and the girls had so much fun. We camped up Beaver mountain just down from Kent's Lake. It was so pretty and a nice little vacation. We were able to go out on the lake canoeing and fishing. Kenya's favorite thing to do was play in the dirt. She would sit for an hour and dig and dump dirt all over herself. Thank goodness for Grandpa and Grandmas trailer for the evening showers!! Tali loved playing with her cousins, they would color, play babies, blow bubbles, collect dirt, and of course have the occasional fight. We took the kids swimming in the lake one afternoon, they loved it. Tali said the fish were biting her toes but I doubt that!! It was a great camping trip but we missed our dad.

Two cute girls...

Tali and Kenya are quite the posers when then are in the mood...if you know what I mean!! Catch them at a bad time and you have just ruined their day. I am proud to say the Kenya is now potty-trained yipee....no more diapers for a couple of months, thanks to my mom. I had the hardest time getting this girl potty trained she is sooooo stubborn and everything has to be her way and on her time. My mom had them for a week in July and potty-trained her. I just kept it going when I brought her home and she has been doing great. One thing I have learned is don't even try to pick out her underwear for the day...that is her job and you will ruin her day if you make her wear ones she doesn't want to....stubborn I tell ya!

Lagoon 2010

We took the girls to lagoon on Sunday July 11th. It was HOT!! We had decided that we would get there when it opened and stay until the girls just couldn't take anymore. We spent the first four hours at lagoon-a-beach. The girls had a blast playing in the water, going around in the lazy river and playing on the slides. It was nice for me too, to stay cooled off in the water. After we were done swimming we decided to get some lunch and then hit the rides. Kenya went on a couple of rides and then it was nap time. She took a nice nap in the stroller in the shade with Mark and I continued to take Tali on the rides. Once Kenya woke up she was ready for rides, rides and more rides. We ended up staying until the park closed. Tali was asleep in the car before we got out of the parking lot....she wore herself right out!! We had a great day as a family. We went on rattlesnack rapids and as you can tell from the pictures Tali was not too happy about getting all wet!!

Talei got baptized!!

Our cute neice Talei was baptized on her birthday July 10th. She is such a sweet girl and a great example to Tali and Kenya. Tali just LOVES Talei.

Soi, Talei, & Tali

Herriman Beach!

Mark is such a great dad. He is home with the girls all day during his 7 off and also in the mornings during his 7 on. When he is off he is always thinking of fun places to take the girls. He took them to Herriman Beach and the girls had a blast. Thanks dad for keeping them entertained!!

4th of July in Fillmore!!

The girls and I spent the 4th of July weekend in Fillmore. Mark had to work so we had to leave him home. The girls had a blast. They decorated their bikes and wagon for the childrens parade Friday night and then had hotdogs in the park. The next morning we went to the parade and headed to the park for lunch and fun. The girls got their faces painted, jumped on the bungee trampoline. We enjoyed the fireworks that night.
