Seven Peaks

Mine and Kristens next stop was Seven Peaks. (Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of the Boondocks work party, but just imagine in your heads that it was fun, the food was good, and I stayed for maybe an hour) It was the perfect day for a water park! It was nice and hot! It was also crowded, but not so unbearable that we were miserable... Well, at least not at the beginning. Towards the end we were getting a little restless and annoyed at all the pushing and shoving for the little kids. But, all in all it was a great time and some good BFF Bonding!Quick view of the slides... I had to snap a few quick photos before we left so that we had some proof that we did actually go!

Us, after a day full of water slides and tubing!

The Brown Family Pool

Over Father's Day weekend my mom wanted us to be able to go and do something so that we could keep our minds off of the fact that it was Father's Day Weekend. We brainstormed going to different amusement and water parks, but, Jeff being the good boy he is, declared that he did not feel right about going to a theme park on a Sunday. So, on Saturday when my mom came down to wake me up I proclaimed I was going out to buy a pool, and amazingly my mother agreed! So it became our Father's Day purchase.

Little did we know, that a 8800 galloon pool takes a LOT more than 8 hours to fill. Above is a picture of the completed and full pool, but below is a picture of where the water level was Father's Day night. So, instead of swimming in our own pool, we ended up heading on over to Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center for some wet fun. Disappointment was had, but we all eventually got over it :)
Melanie finally couldn't stand it any longer and got too restless, so she braved the cold and barely filled pool and got in to have herself a swim. Which she will claim was worth it, even though the water was only up to maybe a little bit below her knees.

Shortly after cute little Mel got in, Kyle decided he would get in as well. They swam for maybe all of 20 minutes before they decided the pool was not as fun as they thought it would be, considering it was about bath tub level.

The pool finally filled up late Monday night, which meant swimming was had all day and all night Tuesday. We have thoroughly enjoyed our pool. It is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me ;) I have been wanting a pool for FOR- ever! And now I finally have one :) I do not even mind all of the maintence and upkeep, it is all well worth it! (And although Jeff can take all of the credit for putting the pool and filter together, I can take credit for putting the ladder together! I am woman, hear me roar!)

Toy Story 3

These last few weeks me and Kristen have done a lot! We went to see Toy Story 3, I went to Boondocks with my work, the two of us went to Seven Peaks, and then We also went to my work Lagoon day with Chauntay and Megan! So, We are going to start with Toy Story!

I have to say that I did enjoy Toy Story 3. I enjoyed enough to actually go see it again with my family! One of the better Pixar movies. The best of all the Toy Stories, although, I don't have any complaints with any of the Toy Story Movies. It was sad, funny, exciting, and entertaining all in one! 2 Thumbs up disney!

Swimming at the pool

The last event of our day was swimming! It was a really busy day! But super fun! And a nice change, I was missing my girls!

This is us doing our most favorite thing... Riding down the slide backwards!

Claire Bear sucking her thumb... it had been a long day and she was starting to fade fast

Me and Carmel just relaxing... Her more so than me :)

Playing in the water...

Sabrina

And this is just a cute video of Sabrina and Carmel I really like.

Picture Day!

After gymnastics and naps, we headed off to get our pictures taken! I had the 3 girls picture taken about a month ago, and then decided I would also enjoy one of the 3 of them with me. So, we booked another appointment at our good friend Sears and got all dolled up and headed out! don't have the final product yet, so these are more of just a "Pre-photo shoot."

Gymnastics!

On Tuesday I was able to go to Carmel and Claire's Gymnastics. I had Sabrina with me as well, and we just played the whole day. First we went to gymnastics, then went and had our pictures done, then we went to the pool!

Carmel and Claire following Coach Heather

Sabrina! I want you all to note that I was successful at getting multiple smiles out of this child this day! Absolute miracle!

Sabrina lovin' on me... You can definately tell she had done a hugging picture before! Gymnastics was very fun to watch the girls and Coach Heather actually let Lauren and Sabrina join in at the end of the class.

Baby Owen

I do not think that a lot of you have seen my cousin Ashlee's baby boy Owen. So, I decided to share my cute pictures of him with you :) These were also taken on my birthday.
