Dad's house

 

My dad and his wife Gladys went to Florida for a vacation. We went over for lunch and to let the kids pick out some sea shells.

 

 

They had fun choosing their favorite ones to bring home. Since my kids loved the movie Dolphin Tale my dad went to the actual aquarium and got a few souveniors for Brooklynn. She loved it.

 

 

McKenna with her new Sea Shell.

 

 

Pizza for lunch.

 

St. George

 

On our way to St. George again... (love when Cam crosses his legs)

Brooklynn has gotten so good at swimming.

 

 

They were OUT!

 

 

More swimming! mommy and Kenna

 

 

Cameron doesn't really like swimming, but after a couple days he started to enjoy it.

 

 

Our little mermaid.

 

 

Lunch after swimming.

 

 

My beach babes!

 

 

Out to dinner at Chuckarama

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mommy and McKenna eating dinner.

 

 

One of our favorite things to do in St. George is shopping. Okay fine, my favorite thing.

 

 

 Cameron really liked the big huge bubbles.

 

 

And going home. (thank goodness for portable dvd players.

 

 

Brooklynn loved her new gloves she bought.

 

Grandma Oldroyd bought Cameron new pj's because he did so good going potty on the trip. Wahoo! (love the underwear on the outside.)

 

 

Father's Day!

 

The night before Father's Day we went out to eat at Johana's Kitchen. Ryan loves their breakfast food. (we actually went there on our 4th date)

 

 

 

 

 

The next morning Ryan opened his gifts.

 

 

Gift card to Wasatch Running...

 

 

Pancake mix???

 

 

Wahoo! A Belgian Waffle maker. Ryan loves breakfast food and has wanted a nice Belgian Waffle maker forever!

 

 

 

I also made him a plaque to put his Boston medal and picture in.

 

 

Grandpa Budd's fall

 

For Father's Day I got this vinyl for my grandpa's door. Not only is he an American Hero for serving in WWII for 4 years, but he is my hero.

 

The night before Father's day Grandpa fell outside and was taken to the hospital. They ended up sending him home that night. On Father's day I went to visit him and he was up and feeling good. Although he had one bad bruise. Nothing can ever get Grandpa and Grandma's love down though.

 

Love my hero.

 

Grandpa said we could take a picture of his bruise. I think my grandpa is just proud he is okay. Nothing gets that 92 year old down.

 

Tina's baby

 

My cousin Tina was pregnant with her first baby. Brooklynn was so excited to learn that they were decorating her baby's room with owls like Brooklynn's.

 

 

 

Brooklynn decided to draw Tina a picture to hang in the baby's room. It was so cute.

 

Gracie K.

My niece Gracie spent 2 1/2 days and 2 nights with us while her parents went on a trip. We decided to go to the zoo.

 

Right away the Peacock showed us her tail.

 

 

Then I found some cute little birdies. Some were really nervous in the nest and wanted to come home with us.

 

Miss McKenna just LOVES the new exhibit with all the seals and sea otters and bears.

 

Cameron wishes he was swimming in the water.

 

 

This Polar bear was so funny. So glad the glass was strong or she would have came right at us. I got it on video. If I figure out how to do videos again I will post it.

 

 

Lunch Break...

 

 

 

 

Riding the Tigers.

 

 

Berkie's favorite animal is the Giraffe.

 
 

 

Movie Night!

 

 

This was so cute, I had to get a picture.

 

 

The girls and I decided to go to the library and pick out some books.

 

 

 

After lunch we played out in the water.

 

 

 

 

They just loved it and played for hours. (yep they were all sunscreened.)

 

 

 

 

 Berkie looks mad. But she wasn't!

 

 

Another night. This time, Brooklynn and Gracie watched a movie in Brooklynn's room.

 

 

When they woke up they made a birthday card for Brady. It was Gracie's brother Brady's birthday that morning.

 

 

McKenna and Cameron joined them.

 

 

 

 

Something must have been funny!

 

 

Last day and the kids had a picnic outside. Thanks for sleeping over Gracie.

 

 

Oops! That was from the day before. It was a fun time with their cousin.
