Mary Poppins
Back in the first week of July the girls and I took a trip with my Mom to see Aunt Jess in Cedar City and go to Tuachan and watch Mary Poppins.
We stopped and ate a picnic lunch about half way there.
The girls brought their dolls, Kit and Julie, with them.
When we got there, Aunt Jess did manicures. The girls were in Heaven!
Tuachan has a beautiful outdoor theater and does fabulous productions. We loved Mary Poppins. The only downside was the extreme heat. When the show ended at 11:45, it was still 97 degrees outside. We felt like we were melting!
Also, notice that Sunny has perfect the "duck face"
We spent the night with Josh and Jess, and the next morning when Henry woke up, he got to snuggle with his Sunny Bunny.
Lila loved spending time with Henry. He is such a cute kid.

22 Months
My sweet baby boy is now 22 months. He wants nothing to do with being a baby. No more booster seat at the table, or stroller for walks. He can keep up with the big kids all day long. He does whatever they do and he never stops. He did great on vacation. He is a really fun kid, but has developed quite the attitude lately. He wants what he wants and when Mom or Dad won't help him out, he heads straight for big sister Sunny.
He loves Taylor Swift (wonder why:) and loves to dance. He had a great time hiking in Zion National Park and he is a huge fan of parks and splash pads and water slides.
We are having so much fun this summer and it is nice that Cam is big enough to join in and have fun too.
Tracy Aviary and a Splash Pad
Several weeks ago we went to Tracy Aviary with a couple of our friends. Between the three Moms, we had 13 children with us. I think it is so great that my kids have such great friends.
All the kids except Cam. He wouldn't stay in the pictures, so I took the one of him of the rocks...to prove he was there of course.
Waiting for the bird show.
Cam really loved this cut out thing. It is usually hard to get him to smile for pictures, but he was totally into it.
Sunny and Makayla. Cam would not move. I think he is in all the pictures.
Right next to the aviary is a really neat splash pad. We don't go often because it is all the way up in downtown Salt Lake. We ate our picnic lunches and headed over only to find out it was closed for cleaning. We were a little disappointed, but came up with plan b. We found this random park and splash pad and went there instead. It turned out the kids really liked it.
Sunny's Vacation
My blogging is seriously out of order, but it is too much of a pain in the butt to fix, so we will just deal with it. I mentioned that the kids an I went on a quick trip to St. George a couple weeks ago. I have tons of pictures of that and it was amazing. So, after our 2 days in St. George, I took the other 4 kids and we continued our fun in Cedar City with Josh and Jess. Sunny got to stay with the Pitcher family for another 2 days.
Don't Sunny and Makayla look so cute in their matching shirts!!!
(I have a pictures back on my blog from 4 years ago when we had just moved here. It is Sunny and Makayla playing dress up on one of their first playdates and I commented on how they seemed to be fast friends. 4 years later and they are definitely good friends. These two are so adorable and I'm so glad they got to spend vacation together)
The went to see "Mulan" at Tuacahn, which she ways was amazing.
The went to the new Monsters Inc movie.
They went on another hike in Zions. I think it was around 117 degrees that day. Yikes.
And they swam!
Sunny had so much fun that she didn't even want to call me the whole time she was gone. It was nice of Ashley to send pics for me though and I was perfectly fine with my baby girl being gone because I knew she was in good hands. I feel so blessed that we have such amazing friends who are so fun to hang out with and who love our children!
Summer Book Club
We have some fun ladies in our neighborhood who have organized a summer book club for kids. Each week has a theme. There are chapter books, and pictures books to read. There are also fun activities and treats that go with the theme.

The week I took these pictures was water week. The book was "Regarding the Fountain" which I didn't have time to read because we were leaving on vacation and had to pass it on, but Jack did read it and said it was great.
All my kids in the background on the tramp.
Miss M our sweet little neighbor posing for a picture. She is Griffin's age and my kids just love her.
We have only made it to 2 of the 4 club meetings so far because we have been out of town, busy, or I have just been too exhausted, but we have plenty more coming up and the kids can't wait.
