Ride those Waves

A few weeks ago we got the amazing opportunity to go out and hang with Justin and his really good friend Chris out on the water. It was Chris's familys boat and they invited us out for the day. We had so much fun and Eli was just being a little fish. Ethan even got in on the action and went out on the tube with Chris. The boys loved it and we had so much fun just playing out on the beach ( well, sort of a beach), and splashing in the water. We spent most of the time on the boat though. Thank you again Cotant family for letting us come spend the day with you.














Fun in the Canyon

I have decided that the canyon is our second home. We spend as much time up there as we do anywhere. We love it. It is just so relaxing being surrounded by so many of Gods beautiful creations. The boys love it because they can get dirty, and they can climb, and they can run. Not much to say about this, we were just playing up the canyon one day and got some cute pictures of the boys.










Highland Splash Pad

Last summer we went to this splash pad lots of times because we lived so close and it is seriously the coolest splash pad ever, but since we moved and live a bit farther out now, we didn't make it quite as much. But the boys sure loved it when we did. We went with our bestest friends. Sarah and I got the chance to visit for a bit, Ethan was in his own little splash heaven, Allie just chilled on her moms lap, and Eli and Jason had a blast together. I love how great of friends these two are. They are so funny together.



I think the water starteled him... what do you think?

I love the tongue. This kid is fearless I tell you. So much more adventurous then his brother was at his age. But OOOOOhhhhhh so cute.







How he managed to do this an not get trampled, I will never know. There were so many kids there. And he was just relaxing in the sun.

The Childrens Museum with Friends

A while back, a few of my friends invited the boys and I to join them at The Children's Museum up in Salt Lake. I have been there a few times, but it has been awhile. This place is totally awesome. So much fun for the boys and so very educational. It is a little on the pricey side, but if you have a day to go kill and you want to spend some very good educational time with your children, I would highly recommend this place.

Ethan loved these mondo super big blocks.

There was a demonstration booth out and they were teaching about dot art. Eli was so fascinated. Jason and him had so much fun making their pictures.

Boys and their blocks.

Monster Magnetex. I wish I was rich, I would definitely invest in some of these. They are the coolest toy ever.


This was a real helicopter that they had outside. Eli was so fascinated with this. He was able to play with all of the controls, and it would turn on and make the sound that a real helicopter would make. He was so in trigued.


Ethan loved this little play house. It was just his size. The whole place was actually. Everything was so kid friendly and so educational. And they would have played here ALLLLL day if I had let them.

If only he was this confident on a real horse this size?

Eli has been so in to play food lately. You would think that would be better for little girls, but we have been around a lot of it lately at different places and he has been loving it.

Eli at the little grocery store. This was his favorite part of the museum.

Ethan and Lindsey. She is such a cutie. This is my friends little girl.
