Laughing

On our way home from Green River, we bought Zach one of the new Bumbo chairs. This is a couple of pictures of him sitting in it for the first time, while laughing at Kylie. For some reason Kylie is the one that he will laugh at the most. Today, (Sunday) she had him laughing quite a bit, and he has just the cutest little laugh.

Meeting Alex

We stopped and took Alex out to dinner for his birthday on the way home from Green River.  It had almost been two years since we had last seen him.  Kylie was excited to see him, but then really shy once she got around him.  This was Zachary's first time of meeting Alex.

More Melon Days

We were finally able to get a picture of all 6 grandkids together.  I was pretty lucky I almost had all of them looking at me for the first picture that I took.  From L to R:  Zachary, Kylie, Kinsey, Nathan, Allie, and Rylee.

Uncle Greg gave Zachary a pirates baseball hat.

Zachary and Allie

Zachary and Grandpa Brian were buddies during Melon Days.  

This year was my 15 year class reunion. (I couldn't believe it had been that many years.)  8 of the 15 of us made it.  We had a little barbeque get together and just sat around and visited.  It was great to be able to catch up with those who were there.

Greg, Heather, and Allie

Here is Greg's cute family with Allie also at her first Melon Days.

Yummy!

Melon Days Parade

We all got together in our normal spot to watch the parade.  It seemed like it was a really long parade this year as there were a lot of entries.  The kids collected tons of candy and we all had a good time.  I feel bad that I did not get pictures of everyone that was there. I missed getting pictures of Allie, Greg, and Heather -  Kinsey and Kalen (Mandy was busy setting up the scrap book stuff, and I also missed getting a picture of my dad, as he joined us to watch this year. 

This was Zachary's first melon days and this is how he started the parade out.  Wanting a bottle.  That's ok.  By the time the parade got to us he was all done and so happy with a huge smile on his face the whole time.  He just loved seeing all of the people and everything that was going on.  Let's just say that his nape were really short while we were at the park.

Nathan and Rylee waiting for the parade to start.

Kylie and Zachary!

Candy time!

Zach taking it all in!  His melon shirt looked so cute on him.  I am glad that it fit because we thought that it was going to be too big.

Mom in the parade getting ready to throw some candy.

This was just too cute.  The wonder bread truck was throwing out bags of bread and one of the split open.  Nathan ran out there to pick it up like it was just the greatest thing.

Swimming

We went swimming with everyone while we were in Vernal at the Rec. center that they have.  The pool was really nice and there were a lot of things for kids to do.  The only thing that wasn't great about it was that it was a little bit cool, so it wasn't great for Zach's first experience with swimming.

Zach and Kelly.  This was one of the few moments where Zach wasn't crying.  You can see mom, dad, Ryan, and Nathan in the background.

Ryan was gracious enough to take care of Zach for me while I went to get a few pictures of Kylie in the pool with her dad.

Kylie in the part of the pool that takes you around in a circle.

All of the little kiddo's posing for one last picture before Ryan and Tristen's family had to take off for home. 

We had a great time with everyone and can't wait to see the whole family during Melon Days in a couple of weeks.

Dinosaur Museum in Vernal

THIS PAST WEEKEND WE WENT TO ROOSEVELT(spelling?) AND VISITED WITH KALEN, MANDY AND KINSEY.   MY MOM AND DAD AND RYAN'S FAMILY ALSO JOINED IN ON THE FUN.

MANDY, KYLIE, AND NATHAN GOING THROUGH THE TUNNEL AT THE MUSEUM.

TAKING ZACHARY THROUGH THE TUNNEL.

ZACHARY BY THE MAMMOTH OUTSIDE.....  LIKE HE WILL REALLY REMEMBER THIS SHOT!

4 Months Old

Zachary is 4 months old today.  It is crazy how fast times seems to go by.

He has been having fun being able to stay home with dad, but has been really good for the couple of hours that he has had to go to Tammy's.

Kylie's First Day of First Grade!

Yikes!  I can not believe that my little girl is in the 1st grade.  Where has the time gone.  It has been quite interesting this past week as we have had to get her up earlier in the morning so that she can be ready to go.  There was no more dropping her off at Tammy's house and letting her have her breakfast, and getting her hair done there.  Now mommy has to get it all done before we walk out the door.

I must say so far, so good.  It has been three days of early mornings and we have been on time.  Not that I probably didn't yell at her a few times along the way to have her get her butt moving.  She sure can move slowly in the mornings.  She really takes after her dad in not being a morning person.

This is Kylie with her new teacher Mrs. Edgel.

Watching Kinsey

Kinsey came to stay with us during the weekend of Kalen and Mandy's anniversary.  Kylie loved having someone who was able to crawl around and play with her.  

Kylie has always been a big help with Zachary, but she did so much more to help with Kinsey.  She even had a couple of friends come over to play on Saturday and they all played with her. Kinsey was loving all of the attention.

Zachary even got to play with her a little.  Although he mostly just stared!  It was fun to have her with us, even though she was teething and had a rough night.  Thanks for thinking of us Kalen and Mandy.  We were happy to have her.

Story Time

It has become a nightly ritual to have story time in  Kylie's bed with the three of us.  Zachary loves to look at each of the pictures as the pages are turned and gets really excited.  If you look at the second picture you can see in his face how excited he is.

BBQ @ Green River State Park

When we went to Green River for one last visit before school starts, we got together with Greg's family and had a BBQ at the State Park.  Here are a few pics from the occasion.

Dad, Greg, and Mom finishing their dinner.

Kelly roasting a marshmallow for a smore.

Heather and Kylie

Zach's just watching everyone.

Allie's having a little nap!

Here is a fun little picture of all of us just before cleaning up and heading home.

Sleep

Grandpa Parsons just has the magic touch.  I think that I have a picture of Kylie like this too.

(Grandpa was just pretending to be asleep for the sake of the picture. :)  )

This one was when we were back in Coalville.  When Zachary falls asleep lately, if you don't have something to cover his head and he is not too upset, because he is really tired, he will cover his face with his own arms.  It is just too cute.  

This Picture is also with Grandpa Parsons.

Great Grandparents

While in Monroe for the Parsons family reunion, the kids were able to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Brian.

Starting Something New! Avon!

You don't even have to live close to get your order, or to see a brochure.  Every two weeks there is a new brochure available.  If you live close to me, you can have it delivered to me and I will bring it to you.  OR If you live far away you can choose to have it shipped right to you for a very small shipping charge.
