The Wizard of Oz

The kids were playing with the halloween costumes today. They decided to dress up like the Wizard of Oz. Don't they look fabulous. ( Mase wanted to be the monkey, is there really a monkey in the wizard of oz? )

Kaelyn: Glinda the good Witch ( Although she preferred to be called princess), Mason: Monkey??, Jada: The other good witch (she did not want to be called the wicked witch), Emery: Dorthy, Max was himself.
I love these kids. They are so fun to be with. I love their cute personalities.
This is what they were actually suppose to look like. I think they are way cuter!!

Fun 24th Weekend!!

This weekend we went camping and boating at Jordenelle. My boys getting ready for bed. They love sleeping in the camper.

Playing on the beach.
Baby Bridger. He looks really comfortable.
Matt, Zac and Jake got on the tube. Matt made me promise to go slower than the last time. However the speedometer wasn't working so I had no idea how fast I was going. I guess it was pretty fast. The guys were laughing so hard. I launched them so high I wish I could have got a picture.

Che, McKenna, Mase, Max and Mo. Having tons of fun!!
GO Matt
Mase loving the Lake

My Dad was able to come up and hang out with us. Mase loved sitting right by him. If my Dad moved Mase would follow him.
Love my Boys!!! Max has on his boating goggles.
Matt doing a back flip off the boat.
We went to Deer Valley on Saturday. Mase and Max love to play "Hands Up Stands Up".

Hanging out in the Shade.
Mase and Max love being together.
We played on these chair lift chairs for a while. The boys would sit on them and I would pull them up as high as they would go and let them swing. Mase and Max would laugh and scream and then ask to do it again.

Nick, Matt and Zac

Monday was a special day it was Kaelyn's birthday!! Mason could hardly sleep he was so excited. She had a fun princess/cars birthday party. Mase stayed right by Kaelyn. I had to laugh because as kaelyn posed for the pictures Mase was so close he was in all of them.
Madelyn came over before the birthday party and we had a great time playing in the backyard.
Party Animals!!

24th of July!!

We went four wheeling for the 24Th. It was a tons of fun. It was so hot in the city, but we went high enough it was cool and even cold. It felt good.

We went up to the lakes. The kids wanted to put their feet in so we said "OK".
They want to get in a little more...
OK they got all the way in. They had so much fun!! The people passing had to stop and check out these cute critters.
Our stop for dinner. The Fabulous Four.
We found some treasures!
Mase getting a treasure
Wow!! Look what they found.
Hi Mase
Maxie
We came home and the kids were excited to do fireworks. They got out there chairs and ate Popsicles. It was late and we only lit like eight fireworks, but they were so happy!

Ogden Rodeo

We went to the Ogden Rodeo. It was great!

Mase loves wearing his cowboy boots and hat
Sharing Snow cones.
Cutest kids
Mase loves Kaelyn. Mase goes to K's house first thing in the morning and goes and gets her. This day he snuck over there at 7:30am and rang her door bell. (Sorry Niki and Brant)
Watching the rodeo
Wow!! Cute Cowboys.
Love the hats!

I love country dancing. Matt has never done it before, but he was great!
Roasting Marsh mellows. Oop's we couldn't find the mellows. I went to the little store and they were out of the big mellows so I had to buy the mini mellows. We put like ten on and it worked. Luckily later the guy Allie was flirting with saved the day and had some big mellows.
Love my Mase

Paulie
Max and Carter
Tug of War. Mase was a huge help to his team.
This team was tough
Bobbing for oranges and carrying them on a spoon. If you drop it you had to pick it up without using your hands. Paul dropped it and had dirt all over his mouth.

Matt's team won! However I went over to his bucket and they had emptied their water. Cheaters. After the water balloon toss, Water Fight.
The pool was awesome! My boys thought it was heaven. They loved the slide.
Go Mase

Sweet Baby
At the Petting Zoo.
Love the horses.
These boys love their daddy

Repelling. It was so much fun.

Grandma Allred set up the darling tables for a great and yummy dinner.
It was so fun to be together

Patriotic Night. Grandma Allred planned a great evening: Sang patriotic songs, watched Emily and Mikes wedding video, Sarah and Craigs wedding video, Allie's St Lucia, Johnathon's memorial video.
Grandma Allred made a special book and dvd for each grandchild about Grandpa Allred. Everyone shared memories. It was very special.
That's my cute husband!!
Family Prayer

Fun Group
Hiking in Zions

Mase hiked all by himself. He was so independent. Some parts were scary and he insisted that he could do it by himself. Max on the other hand wanted nothing to do with being independent. Matt and I took turns carring him on our shoulders.

Thanks to Grandma Allred who arranged this wonderful time for our family. We had so much fun. Thanks to Aunt Marilyn who was in charge of the food it was amaizing!!
