Workin' hard

We have been busy at our house removing wallpaper and have even put Max to work. He has decided that it looks like a lot of fun and will help his dad rip the paper (he is pretty good at it).

We will rent him to you, for a small fee (we charge by the hour).

1+3= exhaustion

I babysat our 3 nieces for a week. It was so much fun to be with the girls, but it was also a lot of work (I did it by myself, Clu had to go back to work in SLC.) We planned activites to keep the girls busy and thanks to my sister and mom I got a nap one day. Raising children is so hard which makes it even harder when you are doing it by yourself. I know that is why children have two parents and why we also have family and friends to help. I love those girls! Nanny feeding Max watermelon. Max trying to get his own, but Uncle Marcus caught him. Busted! Playing with Coco and Dodger. Max loves those doggies! Playin' in the pool. I am sure that we all looked awful, but it was SO MUCH FUN! We always have a great time together!

4th of July Festivities

We started our celebration on the 3rd with the Stucki family and then let it carry over to the 4th with the Snow family. We were babysitting our nieces so they spent the night in Pine Valley with us. While we were there the Magic Reindeer left surprises for the kids which were a huge hit. Papa and Max reading stories before bed. Alyvia picking all the "flowers" dandelions in the lawn. Nanny & Papa paid her a penny a piece (it kept her busy for awhile). Playing on the stairs..his favorite place. Nanny & Papa have a golf cart in Pine Valley. It is perfect to take the kids for a ride or to go and visit other people. Max LOVED the golf cart! Clu let him drive and he thought that he was so cool! I guess we know he will be ready to take daddy and grandpa golfing in a couple of years.

The Snow reunion is always so much fun. We decorate amazing sugar cookies, make crafts and have a treasure hunt. Enjoying the great company.

Kiddos working on the treasure hunt. This years treasure came all the way from Japan (thanks G&D)! Garrett pulling Max and Roman in the wagon.

While we were in Pine Valley we also got to spend time with Clu's family (it is rare that we all get together because we all live so far apart). It was a lot of fun to have the kiddos play with cousins. They had a great time! Next time we will be sure to spend more time together.

Moving Day

As I am sure you have guessed, we have officially moved. We of course have to document the great/awful day.We had a lot of great help (just ask Tia & Lee to help they get you out and in in no time flat)! Max is loving the new house and all the new places to play. Max & Nanny playing at the window. Max watching everyone on the front steps. After we cleaned out the condo we let Max ride his car around. He was in Car Heaven!

Thank you everyone that helped us with the move! We are slowly getting ourselves unpacked.
