More activities with the Chapmans

Clearly we haven't done much with the small fries, so let's do everything there is to do in this town mmmm kay? How about a trip to the aquarium?

Random pic of cute Sloan.

Next up the trampoline park.

Some summertime snow cones...

The one thing we didn't do is take them to a water park, because for real people, there is a limit. We did make a water slide in the back yard for them.

The final activity for this marathon trip was a hike up Alta.

Harriet was done about 5 minutes in, and Kate wasn't far behind her. We decided to cut our losses and take the whiners back to the lodge for lunch.

Sean, Grace, Em, and Randy went all day. Sean and Grace are just too cute. They are the best of friends.

After going through all of these photos, I feel like I should definitely be in the running for mother of the year. These kids did more this month than I did my entire childhood. Spoiled. Rotten.

Grace and Randy got some good jam sessions in too.

THE END. SEE YA LATER CHAPMANS!!

Trip to Grandma Primmer's house.

Omg, I think this month is the reason why I'm still so far behind. It was nonstop. The next mini trip was to Cedar City to see Grandma Primmer. We stopped at Fillmore to go to this crazy weird petting zoo. Did I mention that every major activity we did with Michelle was like 105 degrees?

Seriously, I don't even know what the crap this animal is. Only in Fillmore.

Zonkies anyone?

Why we kept trying to get a picture of all of them is beyond me. Grandma was sure happy to see all of the little stinkers.

Best way to get a photo of them all is to have them do something wild and crazy. This one takes the cake.

24th of July 2014

Michelle is still here! It was fun for them to be here for the 24th since they don't get to celebrate it in New Mexico. We had a surprise baby shower for Jess.

Grandpa Lyle didn't waste any time blowing up the neighborhood.

A good firework show isn't complete without a white trash baby.

Jess's neighbors put on a pretty great show. We contributed too and nearly burnt down a couple houses and a car.

Love that belly! It just doesn't look real.

Kate lost her first tooth!

Kate was out playing on our "water slide" and came up to me to ask a question. I asked her where her tooth was, and she had no idea she had lost it. We looked and looked so we could save her first tooth, but it was gonzo.

It doesn't look like she lost a tooth because her permeant teeth had already grown in behind her baby teeth! She's a little shark.

Obviously we had to write a note to the tooth fairy to explain the situation! "Dear tooth fairy, my tooth fell out, but I don't know where. Love Kate. I love you."

The tooth fairy left her this cute little doll! My baby is growing up!

Crafts and Rockets!

Grandma and Grandpa never seen to disappoint! Grandma made a day out of crafting. The kids decorated these cute bird houses. They turned out looking just like the kid who made it.

Sean's has a wolf on the bottom…

Kate's could not have more jewels, flowers, or glitter if you tried.

Grace and Hattie's are as perfect as they are.

Now time for rockets with Grandpa. Omg, every time we do this, I just hold my breath that no one is maimed or dead when we're done, that no animals or small children in the neighborhood around us are out to play in their back yards, and that I can make a quick get away if shiz goes bad! Of course, it was a fabulous time and nothing bad happened.

My dada and Uncle Randy aren't afraid to jump fences and trespass whenever a rocket needs to be retrieved. Got the big one back! That was Kate's rocket. No tears today about how her Rocket landed on someone's roof!
