Wheeler Farm

Today we went to Wheeler Farm with my mom, Megan , and Becca. It was super hot but we still had a lot of fun. We found some picnic tables in the shade and ate some lunch. The kids had such a great time playing in the stream. They loved getting wet I'm putting their feet in the water. My mom brought some goldfish for them and they kept sneaking them off to float down the stream . It was actually really cute. I'm glad we were able to go even though it was hot!

Ryan's birthday party isn't until Monday, and so we wanted to do something fun today! My mom is amazing and invited Ryan and all his cousins to Jungle Jims for his birthday! They had so much fun! Kendall was so cute and loved going on all the rides. She even went on the roller coster with me! They also had fun playing the arcade games. We earned enough tickets for the kids to pick a few things and the prize counter. Thanks, Momma, for making Ryan's birthday so much fun!

Zoo Day

Casey had the day off  and so we went to the zoo! My mom, Mal, and Nate also came and so it was a fun day with family. I wish Megan could have been there as well. I miss her :)   

Here are some pictures from Mal's camera:

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is finally here! I love seeing how excited the kids get about Christmas. Being parent is so much fun!

This afternoon we went over to my Grandpa's house for our Christmas Eve party. Grandpa and Grandma Riley gave all the kids their own little bean bag. They were all so excited when they opened them. They all just loved them! Such a perfect gift for the kids! 

It was fun seeing our family! After the party we went over to my parent's house so that the kids could open one gift from my parents, and also so we could give each other our sibling gifts.

The kids were so excited to open their gifts from grandma and grandpa. They each got a pair of jammies, and some hot chocolate and a mug. They couldn't wait to put on their jammies and watch the movie when we got home!

After the kids opened their gifts, we surprised Mom and Dad with a couple gifts we went in together on. We got Mom a gift card to Salt Lake Running Company so she could buy a new pair of running shoes. And we got Dad the extended version of The Hobbit. At that time I also gave them the booklet I made about our family service project that we did. The kids liked showing grandpa the pictures and telling him all about what we did.

After we got home the kids immediately put on their jammies they got from grandma and grandpa. They took their new bean bags downstairs and they watched the new Home Alone move that grandma got them. 

We made some cookies for Santa later that evening, and then Casey read them the story of Christ's birth. I just love my family!
