Happy Birthday Holden!

Holden turned 6 this past week. We have been waiting his whole life to be able to use this sign! 

I somehow figured out the photoshop program on our computer and turned it into this for his party invitations.

He wouldn't stand out on the side of the freeway with the Holden 6 sign (what great parents we are!) So here he is with his other sign, which is off the freeway on the off ramp.

As part of of his party we went swimming here he is with Lane. 

He actually had two parties one with Noah's family and one with mine. We forgot our camera for the Gibson party, and I haven't gotten any of the pictures yet from the nieces, and papa Norm who did take pictures at that party.

Greta had a great time with cousins. Here she is with Rhys.

 

Blythe trying on uncle Bret's goggles.

 

And the fun part, Opening presents!!! Greta really liked this part and tried to help out as much as possible.

He got a new bike, which he likes but is pretty scared of not having training wheels. Which is why he looks so excited here.

He had a Race Car birthday cake. He and I had a great time decorating it, he choose all the colors, and decided that it would be 6 wheel drive!!!  

Blowing out the candle!

Happy Birthday Holden we Love you!!

Field Trips Have Begun!!!!!

 Summer has officially begun!

We had our first summer field trip on June 10th. We had planned on going to the Air Museum at Hill AFB, but at the last minute we found out that This Is The Place Heritage Park was having free admission and free ICE CREAM!!! How could we pass that up?!?

The line of cars going into the park was really long so we opted to park on a side street and walk in(we later found out there was plenty of parking by the entrance, if we had just waited out the line to get in.) On our walk in we passed all the statues, this one is a pony express monument. Oh and that is Holden, Greta, Blythe, and Clara.

 We met Diane, Ryn, Cyrus & Rhys at the gate!

 We rode the "train" first.

 Oh what fun!

 Because it was so crowded we had to get off at each stop of the train ride and then get back in line to ride the train again.Here are Jackie and Blythe waiting in line...

 Luckily the first stop on the train ride also had ICE CREAM! Here is our whole gang enjoying the ice cream and shade. We are at the Brigham Young house, it had a huge lawn to relax on, and some yard games for the kids to play.

 After we were all done eating we wandered over to see the rest of the pioneer houses, but we got distracted by the kids playground. There was a cute little frontier village, and wooden train that the kids loved!

We did wander over to the petting zoo and the pony rides, but somehow I didn't get any pictures of that. By then the little ones were pretty tired and ready to go home. We didn't even go through any of the pioneer cabins or the rest of the town, (good thing we got in free!)

 Holden wore his camouflage hat so he had to try it out and hid in the grass, to see if we could find him.

Thank you Jon Huntsman Sr.!!! We had a great time at the park.

This week we went to the Tracy Aviary however I forgot my camera! So Jackie is in charge of the blog post for that trip!!
