Wild Rivers!

Since it was getting hot, we thought that it would be fun to spend the day at Wild Rivers, our local water park. It was a serious blast from the past, I probably spent every day here during the summer when I was young. The place hasn't changed that much so it was fun to spend the day there and we even went on a couple of our favorite rides! Graham loved just hanging around in the kiddie pool!
Owen is snug as a bug in a rug, as he would say!

Payton is getting ready to go down the slide.

My cousin Sarah and her son Wade also came and spent the day with us. Here is Wade taking his turn on the slide.

Owen even had a turn!

Wade is showing us how much he was pruned after spending so much time in the water with Payton.

Owen is swimming!

Wade and Payton had so much fun going down all the slides!

Graham with his big smile! He had a blast!

Splashing away!

Aliso Beach

Since my sister was in town, it was important that we visit one place...the beach! Graham was in heaven playing in the sand and I was in heaven just relaxing listening to the waves. Payton loved being in the ocean and nearly got swept away a few times, but it didn't swipe the smile off her face. Owen was just happy to be digging in the sand! It was a perfect day!
Graham with his first fist full of sand! Luckily, none of that ended up in his mouth!

I love this picture of Payton! She was so happy at the beach. :)

Owen was enjoying the cheese crackers.

Payton made a new friend and they had blast playing in the waves.

Big smile!

Careful!

Their ok!

Cute boy!

Graham loved chasing the birds and crawling in the sand.

Chillin' in the shade.

First Hair Cut

Graham got his first hair cut on the 24th! It was getting really long in the back and I had a couple people think he was a girl so I knew it was time.

Now, the night before I was feeling a little daring and decided I would try to cut his hair myself. I only wanted to do the back since I was actually enjoying his longer hair. I think I did a pretty good job in the back and I think my confidence got to the best of me. :) I then decided I would just trim his bangs a little bit, big mistake!
He is still cute, even if his hair looks awful!!


Well, I couldn't let him stay like this so I immediately called and made him an appointment to cut the rest of his hair. I think it turned out super cute!

We went to this place called First Cut, it was really cute. Graham really enjoyed driving the airplane!

Looking like such a big boy!

He didn't even make a fuss about getting his hair cut. He was such a good boy!

All smiles!

The finished product! I can't believe how big my boy is getting! I want to hit the slow-mo button on his life, I'm not ready for him to turn one!

So handsome!

Disneyland!

Since my sisters were in town for the graduation, of course we had to make a stop to Disneyland! We spent the whole day there, watched the parade and stayed to watch the fireworks. It was such a fun day!
Here is Payton waiting in line for the Toy Story ride.

Aunt Emily with all the kids, Graham, Payton, and Owen. They love spending time with their Aunt Emily! She always makes them laugh!

My sister Amy with her kids Payton and Owen. We loved having them around for three weeks!

Payton with her favorite Uncle Tyler and Joy!

Amy and Owen are getting ready to ride the Toy Story ride!

Grandma had to get Payton a new princess outfit so she picked Snow White! Emily helped her pick it out, so cute!

For the new Disney Parade, they bring out people from the audience to come and dance, of course Payton volunteered!
Here she is in the conga line!

Graham had a great time and was such a good boy the whole day!

We waited in line for an hour for the Nemo Submarine ride. Owen was thrilled! Payton was a little nervous, and Graham was jus excited to be out of his stroller!

Our little Nemo boy! Owen loves Nemo so of course, he had to have the Nemo hat and the Nemo sucker!

Payton got this yummy flower sucker!

My handsome boy waiting for the parade!

Graham enjoyed crawling around until the parade started.

Graham and I together!

Getting ready for the fireworks to start!
What a fun day!

Graduation Party!

To celebrate my brother graduating from high school, my parents threw this great graduation party. It was a lot of fun spending time with family and friends and celebrating Tyler's graduation!
Tyler is going to be attending University of Utah and so when we were in Utah we got a bunch of U gear he can wear when he goes to the football games. I think he was pretty excited!

Emily with Tyler giving the U sign.

My Aunt Sheryl, my grandma, Tyler and Emily are all U students so they got a picture together.
Me, Amy, Emily, and Tyler with my grandpa.
