Trip to Lagoon and the Zoo

We went with my mom and dad to Salt Lake and took the kids to Lagoon and the Zoo. I wasn't sure how they would do at Lagoon, I didn't know if they would like any of the rides or not but I thought it wouldn't be a total loss because all of us adults LOVE rides so we could just take turns watching the kids and we could ride! Well we didn't even get a chance to ride many rides because the twins LOVED all of the rides. I bet that they rode every little kid ride 3 times. I think that they would have just rode anything that we put them on!!! It is so funny because the very first ride we put them on was the little dorky dolphin ride and I was pretty nervous because I didn't want them to cry, so Jimmy and I took them over and buckled them in and were totally being the over-protective parents! Once the ride started I looked and Ellie put her little arms straight up in the air, and every ride that she rode she did the same thing!!! I didn't even take any pictures at the zoo-they thought it was pretty boring since we went to Lagoon first! I would recommend going to the zoo first! We had such a great time-I can't wait to go back!!!

Reading the Paper

Evan and Ellie have been soooo into reading magazines and the newspaper lately. I think it is so funny because Jimmy always reads the paper when he is eating so one morning while I was making them breakfast they both went and got a newspaper and were sprawled out reading it!! It is so true that they really absorb every little thing that they see!

Best Buds!!

For some reason I love it when Evan and Ellie wear these matching jammies! I think they look so cute! They are so funny with each other right now-they are little pals! Evan is totally the leader-he comes up with the plans and Ellie follows right behind! I love watching how their little personalities change as they grow! I am so glad that they have eachother!!

Warren Family Reunion 2010

This is the 3rd year that the twins have been able to go to the Warren Family Reunion-we had so much fun!! There are soooo many little kids right now it is CRAZY! Evan was so funny this year he found one of my old straightening irons and he had to pack it everywhere with him (you will see it in a lot of the pics) Ellie was totally obsessed with Gabby and Addy and Evan was totally obsessed with Ashley-and their obsession hasn't stopped! The little night games were so much fun this year with all of the kids-they had races and I swear that after every race there was a kid crying because they fell down or someone tripped them and then you would see the mom or dad go running into the middle of the race to rescue them! We had such a great time this year and I can't wait until next year, I am so glad that the twins have this opportunity to meet all of their cousins!!!

The 4th of July

This year for the 4th we went to Mike and Sherry's for dinner and to watch the fireworks. Mike and Sherry had my parents, Austin & Kara, and Archee over for dinner too. We always have Delicious BBQ and it is so nice to be able to watch the fire works from their back deck!! My dad had bought a huge package of fire works so we sat out front and did those in the road. Evan and Ellie loved the fire works this year they just kept saying "ewe ad awe" Notice how we all have our sweat shirts on-isn't it supposed to be warm on the 4th of July?? Hopefully we will have better weather next year!

Flaming Gorge Car Show

This year Jimmy decided to take our old Ford to the car show. We have never been before and it really turned out to be a lot of fun! There were so many fun cars to look at and they had good food! We will definitely be going again next year!!

Back yard Camp Out

June 26th is "National Camp in Your Back Yard Day" so Jimmy and I decided to host a camp out for all of our friends. Jimmy smoked some amazing ribs and I made some sides. It was Hayden's Birthday Party the night before so Dave and Tara brought his monster truck pinata to the party for the kids to break. I don't think that any of the adults got a good nights rest-but I think that all of the kids had a good time!
