Cabin Trip

Every year the Burr family heads up to Heber to stay at my Bro-in-laws family cabin. We left Thursday night and got there at about 10pm. We stayed up till about 12:30am just doing what the Burr girls do best chit-chatting and snacking. Friday morning the nieces and nephews woke up bright and early ready to play. The bro-in -laws and my dad re-built the tree house and zip line.Mckenzie, Gwen and Lyvi We were all excited when they finished the zip lineMeJustin and Lyvi Mason and Mary (his pony that was with him 24/7)Friday night after the Kids were bathed and put to bed, we played night games outside. We had glow sticks and glow in the dark Frisbees. We enjoyed in until this creature came running at us...

Thanks Rush (bro in law) for almost making me wet my pants. Saturday was a BUSY day. Some of us ran a marathon. Don't let this picture fool you. I was prepared but I chickened out and decided to be the water girl.Justin made me dress up Ready... set...GO! Justin surprised everyone and striped down to this... Karen and I drove so we could take pictures, video tape and handed out water...Jared came in firstJustin I think came in thirdWe also had a little fashion show. Here is the outfit I brought for Karen to model.... Cute. Right? My Mom, Sisters and I love to take a girl trip to the dollar store every year. We bring back pajamas and cheap little toys for the kids. Here is Kenzie and Lyvi with the jewelerynew pajamasLyvi enjoyed relaxing in the swing.
Sunday we got ready to leave. The kids picked up trash around the cabin while the adults cleaned inside.

Sunday was also Gwens (aka Shweet baby) birthday.
We had such a FUN weekend together! BUT there were some small injuries...
Ryan twisted his ankle TWICE!
Gwen swing broke while she was in it. Thank goodness she landed butt first and not head.
what a SWEET baby!
And of course Justin had to show off on the zip line....
ouch!
Can't wait till next year!

Her favorite part of the day...

(I usually don't color coordinate her Popsicle with her outfit.)

We found out Lyvi doesn't like sand. How can I tell?
The dirty look she gave me... She is more of a green grass kind of gal..

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!!!
