While Russ is in Brazil we are trying to keep busy. My mom and I went and saw Wicked in SLC. It was awesome. I thought it was hilarious. While we went Noelle and Eric babysat Alyssa and Kate. They had a lemonade stand. A few people stopped. Alyssa made about $3. Every time a car would pass and not stop she would say "Why isn't anyone stopping." 

My mom and I went to Steel days in A.F. I had never heard of it but it was so fun. All the rides and games were free! This ride Alyssa went on was like a very mini Rocket. Her face as so funny. She said it was fun. She got her face painted and played a few carnival games.
I'm so glad I live near my mom, she keeps me good company and helps me out a lot!

Blog going private

I hate to do this but I am making my blog private. I love to blog surf and often read blogs of people I don't know or barely know. But on instagram I follow a lady who has a popular blog (I don't know her.) She gets thousands or likes and hundreds of comments. Today she posted a darling picture of her daughter and someone left a nasty comment. I don't think too many people even read my blog, but the thought of someone nasty stumbling across my blog and thinking those things about my kids make me disgusted. If you want to read my blog please leave a comment with your email address or email me and I will invite you to read it. To those of you who don't know, you need a gmail account to be able to sign in and read it ( I think).

Boating

Me, out of the wake.

Last weekend we went boating at Deer Creek. I love boating. We wake boarded, tubed and enjoyed the lake. Alyssa tried tubing and liked it but didn't like the water spraying in her face. Kate slept most of the time.

4th of July

On the 4th of July we went to the pool and had a BBQ in my mom's backyard. We were planning on going up AF canyon but it was closed due to a fire. There have been so many fire's and the fire danger is so high, we weren't allowed to do any fireworks in mine or my moms neighborhood. That night we watched fireworks from the top of the hill. We could see the Stadium of fire and then alot of local fireworks being done. I was surprised how many ariel fireworks were being done, because of the extreme fire danger. We had a good day.

Adventures

Last week we had 2 fun mountain adventures. Friday my mom and I took Kate and Alyssa hiking to Stewart Falls. It is 2 miles each way. We carried Kate in the front pack. She was awake and happy all the way until the last 10 minutes when she was getting hungry. Alyssa walked most of the way. A few times we carried her  when she needed to rest. She was proud of her self at the end and said "I'm a good hiker." Afterwards she complained that her legs hurt. I'm sure they were tired.

 The next day Russ and I went mountain biking at Sundance. It was beautiful. I actually have never taken the chairlift in the summer. We took the lift up and then rode down. The first trail we did was very twisty with sharp turns through trees. It was fun but scary for my very first mountain biking trail. The second one we did was my  favorite. There weren't as many turns, we had to peddle more. The trails are very narrow, I crashed a few times when my tire went off the side of the trail. It was scary but fun, I would want go again.
