Blake's night at Seven Peaks

Blake's friend Josh invited him to go to Seven Peaks a few times this summer. He has so much fun playing with Josh and feels special getting to go with Josh's family. They went for one last time, and he was pooped when he got home. His eyes were so red, he could hardly keep them open.
Blake can you see me?

Getting Potty Trained

Trey has been going to the bathroom on the big toilet on and off for a few months. We decided to be a little more aggressive and he is doing great. Me and Trey made a potty treat jar and it is motivation enough to stay dry. We even went to Yogurt bliss to celebrate him telling me he had to go poop! I love the things you get excited over having kids!

I wish this turned out better. Our big boy!

Blake the fish

This kid is fearless of the water! He loves to jump in and see how long he can stay under the water. He is really loving swimming lessons and learning a lot.

Boys!

Trey and Blake are obsessed with the ipad. They like to play Angry birds, and have figured out how to watch movies. So, I was putting lunch away and walked in the living room to Trey passed out and Blake watching Spider man!
How do kids fall asleep in the most unusual positions?
So tired!

Peyton's first day of First Grade

Peyton is the bravest kid I know. We are so proud of her and all the great things she is doing. Because we bought our house the week before school started, Peyton started First Grade at her new school. She will be going to Foothills Elementary in Salem. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Condie, and Peyton thinks she is the best teacher.
We love Peyton's continual enthusiasm!

New House in Salem

After trying to sell our house for seven months, we got an offer the last week we were keeping it listed. So, before we started building, we decided to look at other options, and fell in love with this house in Salem. We put an offer in and it was excepted, unfortunately for us, the offer on the SF house fell through. So we decided to rely on faith and hope we got another offer. One week later, we got another offer on our house. So, if all goes well, we will be closing on Sept 12. It's six miles from our house in Spanish Fork, so it's still close to family and friends.
This is so bitter sweet! We love our neighborhood and all of our friends, but are needing just a little more room. Crossing my fingers, that we don't pack up our whole house and something falls through!

Slip n Slide

Blake's friend Josh, invited our whole family to his Birthday Party. It was at this park with a huge slip n slid. It was a blast. We all had so much fun. It was fun watching all of the people wipe out too!

24th of July parade

The Pioneer day parade is just another thing we do with our cousins. It was the same as every year, expect it wasn't as hot and we didn't get any candy!

Hairspray and Cinderella

Every year, before school starts we do a girls night with all of the Utah Kilpatrick cousins. This year we didn't get a hotel in enough time, so we did a girls day out. We went to Lunch at Ruby Tuesday and then shopped til we dropped at the outlets. I think the moms made out more then the girls. Then we went had dinner and went to watch the play Hairspray. We also got to see Cinderella a few weeks before this. It's so fun to be with all the girls!
