My boys love their uncle Paul. He is always so good with them.
We went to the barn and had country dancing and line dancing.

Grandma Allred and Barb swinging away!
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!!

Oakley Rodeo

We started the day in Deer Valley.
We rode the chair lift up to the top.

We made it to the top.
Matt and Kyler rode down the mountain a few times.
Max was so excited to throw all of the rocks. He could have stayed there all day. There is still some snow up at the top. Mase and Max loved throwing it.

Oakley Rodeo! We look forward to going every year. It is a blast. YEE HAW!
Max was way into it.
My Cowboys.
Eatting Cotton Candy.
After the Rodeo they have fireworks. After the fireworks Max was gone.

4th of July

We went to Strawberry Reservoir with Matt's family. It was a lot of fun. It was so beautiful and green. We camped in a spot that has seen a lot of bears. You have to change your clothes before you go to sleep so the bears can't smell the food. Mase and Max love their Grandpa Kurt they loved camping, fishing and boating with him.

Our Camping Spot

Marsh mellow Time Mase loves doing anything outdoors. The boys were ready for fireworks way early. We tried to stall but we were lighting fireworks when it was still light.
Mase and his Grandma Judy. Mase loves my mom. I am so lucky to have such a great mom and a super great Grandma to my kids!
Sparkler Time! Thanks Scooter for all of your help with Max.
Max got brave and decided to do the sparkler by himself.

Max is doing a great job at the potty training. Although a few weeks ago he took off all of his clothes and went potty in the Wright's garage. He then hopped back on his bike and rode home like nothing happened. Sorry Wright's we love you!!
