Thanksgiving Point has a Dinosaur Museum so of course we had to make a stop there. I took Mav while everyone went and saw Spiderman and that is pretty much all we did for the Fourth of July.
Our Fourth of July Fireworks
Wild Fires have been crazy in Utah this year and this one was pretty close to Ryan's house in Highland.
Needless to say fireworks were banned this year. It was a pretty big fire though so I guess it made up for it.
Dinosaur Play
His new oversized Dinosaur that we paid way too much for. He always feeds his Dinosaurs.
Slip n' Slide & Water Hose Fun
This is where the boys get their eyes from, Grandpa LeBaron.
Epic picture of that day.
The oldest three boys.
It doesn't take much to make my little boys day. Just some healthy outdoors & a water hose.
Baby Gavin
Mavrick was TRYING to be so sweet. I couldn't believe how well he did with the baby.
Cute little guy. =)
Bridal Veil Falls
I love these pictures!
Mavrick was obsessed with the nasty little fish pond instead of the waterfall.
Probably our only family picture from the whole trip. I am usually behind the camera.
Playing With Friends
Mike & Kendra came over with their kids to play. Mav had a blast wrestling/dancing with them.
Seven Peaks
They wouldn't let pregnant people on the slide. So I was behind the camera again but got some cute pictures of everyone coming down.
So I have not written in a while. This last week was pretty busy. We had 4th of July which was not very eventful since we could not pop fireworks because of a stupid burn ban. BOOO! I think that is the first year EVER we have not been able to do that down here. Oh well. Better luck next year. Ryan had finals this past week so he had to study a lot and Mavrick and I ended up playing around the house and cleaning. Later that evening we went over to swim at our friends the Moore's. We had a blast over there as usual. Mavrick kept waling off into the deep end! UGH! He just won't stop trying to kill himself!!!! I also got bit by a horsefly. NOT HAPPY! I would rather get a bee sting than a horsefly. But better me than Ryan...he probably would have gone into anaphylactic shock. He and the bugs don't get along. Haha.
Mavrick Splashing
4th of July 2011... He rocks the blue so well! =)
Little Liam looking like a stud in his sunglasses. Haha. He was so cute! I think I caught him right as he was choking on water in this one...
The rest of the week we kept busy getting ready for Schlitterbahn in San Antonio. Most of my family was going so we took the opportunity to. Its so hard to get everyone together after you get married. I don't know why! Haha. But it makes it that much more special when you do get together I guess. Anyway...I have had a few Design jobs keeping me busy too. Which is nice..but it is hard to find time in the day to work on them. Mavrick only sleep s like 2 hours MAX and that is it. So they take me about 3-4 days total to finish. But I am getting faster. I really enjoy it. I love that I can do it from home too. This week I designed a Permanant Makeup/Mini Spa building. It was a pretty small building but a fun project. Mavrick and I have been starting this "Mommy School" thing. So far he is not too cooperative but he will get there. I am hitting it pretty hard this week though. This weeks is "A is for Apples" and so I have some fun activities planned. I got the idea from this blog called Oopsey Daisy. She is a genius and it gives me activities to do with Mav. Cause lets be honest...there are only so many thing you can come up with when you are stuck at home all day so I have to research stuff. Haha. =) But she pretty much lays everything out for you. I just take what I want from it and plan it out for the week and go from there. At other point during the day this is what Mav does...
I covered the diaper boxes with left over fabric that I used in his room so that I could store all the balls and blocks in them and he decided that he would destroy them and get in. Haha. Oh well...
WE also got to hang out with Brittany, Travis and Annabelle Tolman while they were in town. We miss them. But the babies are so fun to see interact. Haha. Annabelle is a tough little girl so she can usually take most whatever Mavrick can dish out...
Mosquito Bites...thanks Ryan! They look so bad...like cigarette burns! I am sure people see them and think I am a bad Mom!
Brittany, Mavrick and Annabelle! Annabelle is such a poser! I love it. Mavrick is NOT!!!!
Wednesday it poured! I mean it almost flooded. But I got to take the Young Women to see the movie Monte Carlo in theaters. It was such a cute little movie. Kinda reminded me of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Kinda Cheesy and predictable but a good movie to take the girls too. Friday we packed, I had a meeting with a client, Ryan had work, packed some more, cleaned the house, packed some more and then we left for San Antonio! Yahoo!!! Our trip there was ok. I just dislike traveling during the day. Mavrick was so cute when he woke up from his nap though. I would blow bubbles to him in the back.
Big Blue Eyes
Classic Mavrick Smile and you can see his teeth! =)
We stopped in Katy at a Super Walmart to get some food for MAv and some snacks. This is probably his 3rd time to McDonalds but you would have thought it was his first. He was scarfing down those chicken nuggets and fries like they were going out of style!
I am thinking about sending this one into McDonalds to put on their Kids meals! haha.
So after a 4 1/2 hour drive we finally got to the WorldMark there in San Antonio. I love this place. It is so nice! Everyone really enjoyed the stay. Except the babies did not sleep well either nights!! Mavrick got up 3 times and would NOT go back to bed. Just whine and whine. We finally just stuck him in the car and drove around till he fell asleep. Needless to say we were super tired int he morning.
Mav's new thing is getting into baskets so he thought the fish on the table might be cool. Haha. We took a picture instead of getting him down like good parents. =)
Me and Mr. Liam...he was so wired that night! haha.
The next morning we went to Schlitterbahn. Johnny and Amy went to the temple early in the morning so we watched Liam and took him with us to Schlitterbahn. It was tough with two babies. Not that they were bad they just can't really do anything except play in the splash pad area. The whole first 3 hours consisted of watching the babies. We decided that we are not going to theme parks anymore until the kids are older and it is off season or just without the babies. There were SOOOOOO many people there! Some of the rides had a 3 hour wait. It is just ridiculous. After Johnny and Amy got there we took Mav into the wav pool and he was so tired that he fell asleep while I was holding him in the pool. We took him back to Mom and Dad's room to take and nap and Dad watched the babies. Thank heavens. While he watched them we all went and did the stuff we wanted to. We got to ride two rides and the lazy rivers. So we felt a little better about not wasting money. It was a long but fun day. =)
Little Liam...Johnny and Amy ordered this suit off a website and they didn't know that it had pink on it. Haha. =)
Mavrick loved this little area to play in.
I think I did this slide 30 times. Haha....
He crawled up into this space and thought he was so big. Haha. HERE is a video of him playing in this castle thing...
Daddy and Mavrick...
Mavrick was so tired the next day that this is how he fell asleep....Haha!
All in all it was a good weekend. We packed up on Sunday and headed home. We stopped at Kade and Jennacy's place for lunch and hung out with them for a little bit. We didn't get to float the river cause Mavrick had water in his ears so we didn't want to make it worse. It is always nice to come home though. We all sleep much better here...especially Mav. =)
