Around Home

Since we went to Disneyland in January, we didn't really get to go on a summer vaction this year.  We spent a lot of time at home.  Holden was most of our entertainment:

He loves to hide and play peek-a-boo with pillows and blankets.

Here he is peeking out from behind the door.

Holden and his blanky.

This is another common sight at our house. Ally playing the piano.  We always have music in our house.  She gets a little annoyed when Holden is napping because I won't let her play.  Logan enjoys playing the piano, too.  There have been quite a few fights over whose turn it is to play the piano!

Overall it seemed like a pretty long summer at times.  Next year we are for sure going to go on vacation during the summer!

Daisy Duck

Our poor lonely duck.  We started with four ducks.  The first one was a runt and the others pecked it to death. The second one got eaten by a racoon. The third one drowned in a bucket (didn't know ducks could drown, did you?). Now our poor lonely duck spends it's time looking at it's reflection in the garage door.  On the up side, she has started to become really friendly with us and follow us around.  The kids love having her as a pet!

Willard Bay

Having grown up in Willard our whole lives, you would think Josh and I are frequent visitors to Willard Bay, right?  Wrong!  Josh and I can both count on one hand the times we have been to Willard Bay.  Now we can add one more time to that number thanks to our friends, the Posts.  They invited some families from the ward to go boating and hang out on the beach.

It was so fun!  We are not boating people, but we can now see the attraction.  However, after taking a plunge off the "water weenie" into the bay with Jensen and having nightmares all night because of it, I'm probably not going to run out and buy a boat.  But it was still a ton of fun and we were so glad to be invited!

Holden found the sand to be an irresistable delicacy. Yum.

Ally was ready to go boating!  She was one of the first on the "water weenie" but pulled a muscle in her arm on the first ride and didn't get back on. :(

Logan went out on the boat every time!  And Jensen even got back on the infamous "water weenie" after falling off into the bay.

Baby on the beach.

Beautiful sunset.  A gorgeous ending to a fun, fun day.

4th of July

Something new happened this 4th of July...I got cold!  It was actually in the seventies this year-crazy! It was so weird not to roast to death. 

We managed to enjoy ourselves as usual. Ally had her booth to sell hair clips set up under the bowery.  Her and her friend ended up making $65.00 each!  Way to go, girls!

After our fun at the park, we decided to head up to the cabin to watch fireworks in Montpelier.  I just have one word for that-LAME!  What a cruddy firework display.  We missed our town's show and especially our beautiful mountains lit up in the backgroud.

Ally taking time off from selling hair clips to climb the climbing wall.  That's about as far as she got before she decided she was done.  Logan climbed all the way to the top.

Jensen trying out his archery skills.

Logan and Jensen ready for the parade.  They love to ride on the big truck and throw candy at everyone.

Old Man Naylor

Sad, but true.  My Dad is getting OLD!  Look at him using a cane!

Love ya, Dad (even if you're old and decrepit).

Fishing

We made our annual fishing trip to the Uintahs on June 29.  Gwen and her kids were able to come with us and the fishing was amazing!  It was pretty much non-stop action.  My Dad and I could hardly keep up.  There's nothing like watching the excitement on the kids faces as they catch fish!

Logan and Jensen both had fish on at the same time!

Ally's Fishy Face

Jensen waiting patiently.  He didn't have to wait long!

Happy Birthday Gwen! I won't say how many candles there should be on that donut!

Mmmm...s'mores!  We roasted hot dogs and had s'mores with giant marshmallows.

Boo's Bows

Here are some of our favorite hair clips that Ally has been making.  She is going to sell them at the Fourth of July Celebration.  They turned out really cute!
