Payton turned 4!

We can't believe that Payton is 4!  These darn kids grow up way too fast!!! I bet you can't guess what the theme of Payton's birthday was...

...yep, it was the color orange, it's his favorite color.  We asked him why and he said, "because it is the color at Home Depot!"  Of course, we should have known that! 

 We had fun letting the kids decorate their orange cupcakes with orange candies.

The kids played pass the orange. They had fun with that!

It was really funny for the grown ups to watch too! 

We played red light, green light.  Megan was afraid she might get attacked!

The kids also played duck, duck, goose (with an orange twist to it of course).

After all the fun and games, Payton opened all his present and got some great stuff! He really likes his new bike and his own orange tool box with real tools in it!

To cool off after all this fun (because they didn't put enough sugary sweet stuff on their cupcakes), we ate some orange popsicles! The "babies" really enjoyed these.

Adventures in Camping

We were able to go camping at a couple places in June.  First we went to Capitol Reef (which is Megan's new favorite place because they have grass at their campsite, which means less dirt for the kids to play in. Yay!). 

It was so beautiful and so much fun. Our kids really like sleeping in a tent, they think it is way cool!

We went with some friends, our kids got along really well and had a blast together. 

Payton and Lacey had fun getting into mischief and climbing whatever they could.

We went on a couple different hikes while we were there. On one we saw some really cool petroglyphs.

And on another we saw where many pioneers carved their names in the rock wall.  It was really cool to seem them and the dates they came through!

While on this hike, cute Emma decided to take a nap.  Such a cutie!!

Another weekend, Megan and the kids went camping in Aspen Grove by Strawberry with her family.  

They stayed in her parents camper which was a lot of fun for the kids (until Payton fell off his bunk onto Megan in the middle of the night).

The kids all went fishing at the lake and had so much fun being together!

The Zoo

Megan 's family met up at the Zoo in June for Andrew's (Dave & Linda's youngest) 2nd birthday.  Her family is getting so big, her parents love having so many grandkids!  

While we were there a peacock put on a show for us, it was really cool!
