Parade, picnic in the park and more

     The American Fork parade was fun last Saturday. There were some substantial gaps throughout the parade but the kids didn't seem to mind.

Isaac, Charlie, Carter, McClane and cousin J.J. ready to start collecting candy.

Watching the parade from Grandpa's viewpoint.

Always thrilling to see the motorcycle police officers.

     Then a few hours later we went to Picnic in the Park where the kids had a blast on the bouncy slides and cow train. And of course the face painting.

They're ready to have fun and they're serious about it too. 

Let the insanity begin!

Cutest princess!

A rare moment where McClane actually was with us and not running around wild and free.

Always happy to do a cheesers for the camera.

I dare anyone to find a cuter thumbs up! Charlie is NAILING IT!

Lets do another round on the cow train. Charlie only rode about 10 times.

     Charlie wanted to go on the bouncy slide so bad but just couldn't quite manage on her own so thankfully there was a nice young man, (Marcus Smith) who was willing to assist her.

This photo just melts me!

      And there's no better way to end such a fun day then with hard tacos from Taco Bell and enough hot sauce to start our own business.

If you need a lot of sauce just ask the worker to give you as much as they dare without fear of getting fired. Personally I think this was borderline too much!

    Then Carter had Cub Scout day camp on Monday.

A little rope tying.

Silly boys. (Photos courtesy of my neighbor.)

     Now on to some random photos from our week. First this one...

Mosley!

Um...ok let's get a PUPPY!! This cute little guy belongs to our neighbor and he's ADORABLE!

Then a couple kids were sleepy.

After our weekly movie night this is where we found McClane.

And then just some fun around the neighborhood and in the backyard.

Isaac kept her with him for about two hours, one of the nicest breaks for me!

New storm drains in the road equals the best toys ever for the neighborhood kids.

In line for a turn on the hammock.

And we can't forget the FaceTime with Kayli on Greg's phone where Charlie and Kayli kept kissing each other. Cute sisters!!

Hopefully you can see Kayli's big pucker.

I have a feeling next week won't be as eventful but I'm sure we'll have some fun. And since it's still July 17th let me say Happy Birthday to my awesome mom!! Happy birthday Mom! You're the BEST!!
