Staycation

While Justin was gone on a business trip Lyvi and I stayed at my parents house. Sunday night we celebrated my dads birthday. We always have so much fun together. My mom loves playing games with all the Grand kids. One of their favorites and mine is "musical chairs." Here is Papa and Granna with all 13 grand kids.

Mason and LyviWe stop by to see Justin parents. Lyv had so much fun playing with grandma and her toys.Blake and McKenzie came over to play at granna and papas. The played tag, soccer,and toys. Lyvi giving Kenzie a kiss.I'm pretty sure Lyvi is mostly going to miss feeding the chickens with Granna and papa.

Here is Lyvi and my moms favorite chicken. (I mean she treats this chicken like one of her kids)
Last night Justin finally came home at 10:30pm. Lyv and I stayed up and waited for him. She was so excited to see him.
Justin brought back some souvenir's here is Lyvi's...
(I hope they both know this will only be pajama shirt :)
We are so happy he is home! I'm mostly happy I won't have to be a single parents anymore.

*Thank you Dad and Mom for letting us stay with you guys. We sure had fun!

Buffalo exchange and Tempe town lake

Justin and I like shopping at Buffalo exchange. Lyvi enjoyed the hat rack...and pushing her stoller in to racks of clothes. I'm pretty sure the workers were pretty happy to see us walk out the door.We stopped by Tempe town lake for a short walk.

It ended up being a fun night.

Lyvi and Gwen

I Love how they get excited to see eachother.

Gwen finally got to play with some girl toys. She was loving it so much she wouldn't even let them go while see drank her bottle. ( karen, get this girl a baby doll)Just helping Gwen with her Pacifier.

Public pools...

aren't so bad after all.She didn't want anyone holding her handHe was proud he did a front flip off the diving board

Baby Paisley didn't know what to think about his facial hair. It was a fun family night.

*side note: Lyvi's first pose for the camera...

Utah trip

This last week we made the long 12 hour drive to Utah, for Justin's Grandparents 80th birthday party. We were able to do so much while we were there. We got to walk through the new
Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple.
It was BEAUTIFUL!

Uncle Chase and LyviJustin, Chase, and I spent a day at Lagoon. Justin's mom was kind enough to spend the day tending Lyvi. We had lots of fun. As soon as the park opened we made sure to go on all the big rides first before the crowd got bigger. Then we made our way to the swings that put you up in the air and go in a circle(my favorite). Poor Justin got sick. But after awhile he sucked it up and was ready for more rides. We would have stayed longer but it started to rain. We still had fun though. Later that night Justin's moms side of the family had a family Reunion. We ate dinner, played at the park, played some baseball and just enjoyed the perfect weather.
Lyvi's two cousins Luke and Jacob. For the 4th of July we started the day off with a huge breakfast with all the Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. We then made our way to the parade. We enjoyed it until 4 full trucks of little league baseball players soaked the crowd with water guns and super soakers. Justin was not happy. If you know Justin you know that he is very protective over his family members and gets irritated quickly. He was so upset with these boys that he threw 2 half empty water bottles at them. Thankfully, he didn't hit anyone or he might still be in Utah.......in jail. After the parade Justin, Lyvi and I drove to Salt Lake City. We did some shopping and walked around the Salt Lake Temple grounds. Later that night the Danielson Boys put on a firework show and I must say it was one entretaining show. They started by having a war with the "snaps," throwing them at each other's legs. Then they set off the other fireworks. Of course this wasn't entertaining enough for them, so they would see who could jumped over the ones with higher flames. Justin, of course willingly jumped at the offer. Here is Justin, Tyler and Trevor Here is Justin with glow sticks on his ankles,wrist and neck "rave dancing" You gotta LOVE this guy!!!

Special thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for letting us stay with them and letting lyvi go through there cupboards. And of course for the YUMMY breakfasts. Happy 80th!

It was hard to come home but we hope to be back next 4th of July!!!
