In the Garden

In May, Logan built a couple garden boxes and Grandma May came over and helped us plant a small garden. Baylor and logan loved the movie 'Gnomeo and Juiliet' so Logan bought a few gnomes for our garden and flower beds and I bought a little cement bunny. Baylor likes to visit the garden and pet the bunny and say hi to the 'Gnomeos.'
This is our first garden. It's teeny tiny but still so fun! I'm so glad Logan's Mom came and helped because I had no idea what to do!
We planted corn, tomatoes, onions, green onions, cucumbers and zuchinni.

Wesley hates it when I make him do his chores.

Baylor likes to do everything like his Dad!

Flags & Fireworks

We had another awesome 4th of July with the May's.
Couldn't have asked for better weather!

This was my favorite moment of the day. Casey thought the Cody's roman candle was a dud so he threw it. About 30 second later it starting shooting at all these kids. No one got hurt so that's why it was funny. It was hilarious to watch everyone scramble... I got it on tape and have watched it over and over!

The guys and their fireworks!
It was an amazing show!

♥Disneyland♥

In June Logan and I took a trip to Disneyland with our good friends Brenna and Matt. Logan and I have always said we'd wait til we are done having kids and they are all a little bit older before we go. But that is gonna take forever... so we decided to go now, without any kids! IT WAS SO FUN!!! We felt like kids again! I hadn't been in 8 years and I was worried that it may not be as amazing as I remembered... but once we walked through the entrance gate I knew it was gonna be awesome! It truly is the happiest place on earth. 
WE LOVE DISNEYLAND!!!!
Main street is my favorite! It was fun being here a few weeks before 4th of July because they had all the flags up and the cutest patriotic window displays.


Space Mountain is still my favorite ride... and Logan's favorite too!


We ate dinner at the 'Big Thunder Ranch BBQ' It was so much fun. The food was really yummy... and I thought it was so cute how they served the drinks out of mason jars!

Logan and I on the Buzz Astro Blasters ride. This picture totally cracks me up... so intense!!!
Brenna and Matt on the teacups.

Minnie's house. Disneyland is all about the details. Even if I didn't go on any rides I would still have so much fun just admiring all the tiny details that they put into everything throughout the park. I love Minnie & Mickey's houses in Toon Town!

Mickey's house



California Adventure
We split up from Brenna and Matt on our third day. They spent the day with their family (We stayed with Matt's Aunt and Uncle) and we went to Universal Studios. It was fun but every time I've been I'm always just wishing I was back at Disneyland!
This was on our last night. It was the best. We packed so much fun into our last night. We went to the Pirate restaurant for desert, watched the fireworks, went on Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain. The other nights we were there we thought people were crazy for going on Splash Mountain at night because it would be cold, but we decided to just go for it since it had no line... why not. It was so much fun!! A minute before the park closed we got in one last ride, Dumbo. We didn't leave until after midnight every night.
This was a vacation we will never forget. It was so much fun to go with our good friends. They love Disneyland every bit as much as Logan and I so it was perfect!!!!!
Thanks Brenna and Matt for an awesome trip!!... and Thank you Mom and Lori for taking care of our boys!!!!
On our last day we hit up Huntington Beach before heading for the airport. It's not a vacation if you don't get in at least a little bit of laying out!

Father's Day

June is such a busy month! Our anniversary was on Saturday and Father's day on Sunday. I had to take a picture of Logan and his little boys. All three look so handsome ready for church :)

Sunriver Reunion

We did another trip to Sunriver this year. We of course had so much fun! On the way there I asked Logan which bikes he brought... only to realize that we forgot to bring any. We did not touch a bike on this trip. Crazy! We still had lots of fun. Here are the highlights:


Ice Cream and candy at Goodies. We enjoyed the chocolate covered potato chips.

Playing with our new toys from the toy shop. A plastic picnic.  YUM!


Free fishing day at the golf course. They do this once a year and we were in town for it! There were lots of little booths with fun things for the kids.... and fishing of course.


They took this picture of our family. This was the only fish we caught that day. I'm okay with that though.
No blood and fish guts!

Swimming at the resort. Wesley LOVES to swim!! It is the most adorable thing. He smiles the whole time.

Games at the park.

This may have been my favorite. The kid talent show. All the Grand kids got up and did something. It was so cute and fun to watch. Baylor and Cody danced to Ghostbusters. (They have 'practiced' that many times at our house!)

Baylor is 3!

A few days before Baylor's birthday Logan took Baylor to Party City to pick out some party supplies. Baylor picked a pirate theme. He told me he wanted a 'Pirate shark attack cake.' We decided to just go with the pirate cake. He loved it!
For about three months, every time Baylor sees someone, rather then greeting them he would tell them he's two! I don't know why but he wants to make sure everyone knows that. I was worried he wouldn't switch over to three but he has. He hasn't quite figured out how to change his fingers though... so he still tells everyone he's three while holding up two fingers.

The whole family came out for a BBQ and birthday party. It happened to be a beautiful day so we had the party outside.





It was crazy to compare this year to last. Last year on Baylor's second birthday we were moving into our new home. Baylor couldn't say a single word... and now he won't stop talking! Also- this year he was able to blow out his candles all by himself! It was so fun to see him have a preference on his party and cake. He was so excited for his birthday party and for his presents! He was the cutest little birthday boy!

Father's & Son's Campout

Since Baylor was born Logan has talked about how he was excited to take him to the Stake Father's and Son's camp out. Grandpa May was there too and they were able to share a tent with him. Logan said Baylor did really well except for when he ran in front of the entire stake while they were doing a presentation.... oops. Our child would never do that!



I loved this camp out. Me and Wesley had a fun night of shopping and NO cooking! I did however make cookies and had a friend over and had a great night. I'm looking forward to next year!
When Baylor got home the next morning (at 6:00 AM!) I asked him what he did and he said 'Fun!' A few hours later he made this little nest on the floor with pillows and blankets and passed out!
