Perry Girl Cousins

Lincoln can't get enough of his cousins Kiley and Lexi. He asks to play with them everyday. I don't blame him though. They are lots of fun and they all have the best time together. Always lots of giggles.

Grandma Colleen and Lincoln

Lincoln loves his Grandma Colleen so much. They have a special bond and both love art and animals. Grandma Colleen made a point of having the LOVE pillow in this picture because she loves her grandson Lincoln.
Lincoln 3 years old. Grandma Colleen 64 years old.

Grandma Colleen & Her Boys Dinosaur Train Ride- Heber

The Heber Creeper Train does a Dinosaur Train ride in the summer through the gorgeous Heber Valley. Grandma Colleen is in town and always up for an adventure so we purchased tickets for the Heber Train ride. The only downside was there was no a/c so it was a very hot train ride. Everyone came home happy and ready for a nap!

 

  
 

Father's Day

I love seeing all of my boys smiling together. Lincoln was so excited to give his Daddy the SuperDad shirt. Lincoln is really into superheroes so he like to wear his superman shirt and insists Sheehan wears his too.

Playing in the Sand or Something Like That...

Vance has an interesting way of playing in the sand. I didn't think he was very tired until I saw him laying around the sandbox.

One nice thing about living in an area where there is a bunch of construction are the HUGE dirt piles. I just sit on the ground while the boys ride their bikes or play with their dump trucks in the mounds. They end up filthy and exhausted. Nothing a bath and a nap can't fix! 

Free & Fun Days at "This is The Place" Park

The boys and I love going to This is the Place Monument and Park. Lincoln loves the train that rides around. We especially love the ice cream and free admission on Huntsman Day. Lincoln and Vance will spend hours (if I let them) in the little house village. Overall we have a pretty great time and I love the history and the old buildings.

Waiting for the train

 Impatiently Waiting for the train

On the train! That is one happy smile. 

Eating our ice cream.

 Vance smiling for the camera and dripping in ice cream.

Lincoln does not like the splash pad so much but Vance loves it. He runs around out there like he is a big kid. He almost gets knocked over by those big kids he think he needs to play with. 

 Lincoln would much rather roll down the grassy hills.

More trains...

 And the village of little houses just their size.

 I spy.... Lincoln. 

 

He is telling this person that this is his house and not to come in. :) 

The best part is when it is time to go home they are out cold before we even exit the parking lot. Mom = 2 points.

On another day Colleen joined us and we met Brad Wilcox! He started telling us all this church history and I just knew it had to be him. Pretty cool. Lincoln calls Colleen, "Colleen Ganno". She is good to play with the boys and roll down the grassy hills with Lincoln.

Baby Yoga on Daddy's Desk

Vance loves to sneak into Daddy's office to find tools or to just be silly with Daddy. Sometimes he does baby yoga moves on Sheehan's desk.

Once Upon A Hike

On Lyssa's Birthday June 7th the Pleasant Grove Rec Center put on their annual Family Day Hike. This year's theme was "Once Upon A Hike." My Dad joined us this year along with Devin's family. There was a yummy breakfast some of the highlights were donuts, scones, and fresh fruit. Then we made princess hats and swords which you can see in the picture with the princesses and in every picture after Vance was hitting people with the sword along the trail from my backpack. 

The kids were so excited to have their Papi there with us and he was good to hold each of their hands and help them walk the trail (or sometimes be carried) up the trail. 

 Lincoln and Kiley found a butterfly along the trail and were trying to convince it let them pick it up. Despite their best efforts it flew away. 

 We finally reached the waterfall at the top. The kids were so excited but a little timid about approaching the waterfall at first. Then when it came time to leave they wouldn't leave it alone. They also suddenly lost all energy and desire to move so we all had to carry a kid or two. Vance had the king's life the entire way. He was just happy to have a cool, blue sword.
