Lagoon Time!

Cari and I took the kids to Lagoon while I was down in Utah for my cousin Marion's wedding. We got there when it opened so that we could get chairs at Lagoon-A-Beach that were in the shade. She has the kids run when they take down the rope and the kids know where good shady spots are. After we got our spots established, we went over to the kiddy rides and let the kids play for a couple hours. Caleb had so much fun. He's just like mommy and daddy, he really likes rides. There was one ride that was like the rocket for adults and it would take us up and drop us. Caleb loved it. After we rode the rides for a while we were getting really hot so we decided to go swimming. They have a lazy river and a little section for the little kids. It had mini water slides and swings and all different things. Caleb had so much fun playing in the water. We were there until 4 pm. Caleb was crying and whining because we had to go home. I knew he would throw a fit. Why wouldn't he? He was having so much fun! Later that night Cari, Blake and I went back so that we could ride the fun rides. We first started out riding the Rattlesnake Rapids. You kinda get wet on this ride but it depends on where you are sitting. After we went on that we ran over to the Rocket. With this ride you can either be shot up like a rocket or they have re-entry which takes you slowly to the top and leaves you there for a few seconds and then drops you. This is the one we went and and wow, it was so much fun. After that we went on the Samurai which twists you around and the seats rock front to back. It whips you around and it was great! My favorite ride of all was called Wicked and wicked it was. It's a regular roller coaster that shoots you straight up and then drops you. This ride only has a lap bar and you also do twisting in this ride. Oh, this one was by far the best ride of all. Well, the Rocket would probably tie. Anyway, it was definitely worth the money, especially with how much Caleb enjoyed it.

Lagoon continued....

The 4th of July!

We had some fireworks that we really didn't want to set off in town so we took them to Reuben's parent's house. Caleb's favorite part which was weird was the smoke bombs. For most of the time Caleb sat on Grandpa's lap curled up under the blanket. Along with watching ours we also watched the neighbors fireworks. The neighbor always has a ton of fireworks and he also likes to blow things up every year. He takes different things such as small freezers and fills them up with propane and then uses a detonator and blows them up. He had some really good explosions this year. His finale shook everything pretty good and you could hear all of the people across the field cheering. I guess they have like 30-40 people come for the 4th every year. I definitely would if I was part of the family. Anyway, it was a very enjoyable 4th this year.

Caleb's First Fishing Trip

We have a pond over by the river down from our house that is really fun to fish out of so we took Caleb out fishing for the first time. Grandma and Grandpa went with us to see him fish for the first time. All day before we went he was asking when we were going to go fishing, he was so excited. Caleb got a Spongebob Square Pants fishing pole for his birthday and ever since he has been asking daddy when he was going to get his license so that they could go fishing. So finally after months and months he got to go fishing and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Caleb fishing

Caleb's first fish! It was crazy because daddy threw out the line and right when he did a fish was on the line. He had so much fun. He keeps asking when he is going to go fishing again.

Tony and Jesse's wedding

I know I have been slacking off on getting the pictures put on from the wedding so I'm finally putting them on. I hope you enjoy them.

The Girls and Boys

The first picture is a picture of the girls. Left to right is Sierra, me, Jesse, Acacia, and Vanessa. The second picture is a picture of the guys. Left to right is Matt, Reuben, Tony and Corbin and then Caleb in front. Didn't Caleb look so handsome? He was the cutest one there ;)

The first picture is of the arch we used at the reception which has Tony and Rhonda, the second picture is the arch at the wedding and the third picture is a picture of the picture table.

These are pictures of the bouquet, corsages and boutonnieres for the wedding. I still can't believe how much wire and floral tape I went through putting together all the flowers. But the flowers turned out and Jesse really liked her bouquet which is the most important thing.

The Flowers

The first picture is the arrangement that was on the guest book table. The second picture is the centerpieces and the last picture is the ball that was hanging from the arch during the ceremony.
