Father Day Weekend

We had the Olsen's up from St George for the weekend of Fathers Day, so we decided to throw a last minute BBQ with some friends on Sat night. The Fraser, Olsen(2), Brown and Moutsos' clans came!

Lynds, Lesh, Laur, and Bri

The boys got a almost dark game of Fris in

Awe...

For Fathers Day we (mostly Bri) made the boys and amazing breakfast. We had cinnamon rolls, eggs, crepes, bacon, and potatoes. So good! Steve Laura and kids came over too. After church we went to my parents for dinner.

Is this even for real?

My boys!

With my pops!

I gave Phil a weekend golf get away with a few of his brothers in Mesquite. Enjoy it babe, you deserve it! Love you!

Fun to be 1!

Happy Birthday my little 1 year old! It is so sad that my little baby is growing and is now a whole year old! What a cute little 1 year old he is though! I sure love him. We had a big family party to celebrate the little man turning 1. We had a taco bar, cake and ice cream, a pinata, and presents. He was pretty grumpy for most of it, but managed a few smiles in the parts he liked. ;) love you buddy!

My little lover face

Grandma and Grandpa Lovell

He did like everyone singing to him, I on the other hand am holding back tears. :(

He was also very happy eating his cupcakes...yes he ate 2!

Life size pinata anyone?

Everyone checking out his loot.

Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate Brigy and his cute little self. I love you all and him! It was fun as usual!

Very sad I didn't get pictures of 95% of the people there, note to self: put someone on camera duty!

A Spider-ific Day

Koen chose who else but spiderman to represent at his party. One thing I super love about having birthdays in the summer is the outdoor/water party. Makes things easy to keep kiddos entertained and happy.

It was pretty windy and overcast, good thing kiddos dont care. ;)

NeW rIdEs FOR ALL

We finally got a new car the end of April and we are LOVING it. Especially me, as I am sure you all knew of the love I had for the Taurus...not much. After much debate we decided to go with something bigger so when we decide to add more kiddos we wont  need something new again. I really really love it. Oh its a Nissan Pathfinder, and it is charcoal, love.

Koen got a 4-wheeler for his birthday. He loves it. It is his pride and joy. We decided just to set it in the garage and see what he said when he saw it. "I wanna ride that 4-wheeler" were the first words from his mouth and then Phil and I yelled "Happy Birthday" and he started jumping up and down!

He even lets his little bro ride with him in slow speed sometimes.

Its a hit with Tess and Beck too! (our new neighbors!!!)

B got a cozy coupe for his birthday. As you can tell it is top notch in his book!

Day out with Thomas

I told Koen along time ago we could go see Thomas when he came to UT because it was really close to his birthday and he originally wanted a Thomas the Train birthday party(before Spider man was introduced ;). So we picked up Kade and headed up to see Thomas. We made it just in time for our train ride.

Ready for Thomas to take off

Just checkin things out, probably the fast train!

Meeting the conductor

The train was definitely on the slower side, and while we were on there the boys were watching the little faster train. They were both like "we wanna do that" Thomas needs to pick up the pace to keep up with these 4 year olds! ;)

The faster train car

They also had fun....

sneaking a picture with Thomas, sorry not paying for the real deal...hehe

Getting Thomas and friends tattoos. Kade didn't want one.
