More yard improvements

We had curbing done yesterday. It was pretty cool to watch how it was done. It took them all of an hour to do it. It takes a couple of days to start to set so we're waiting to pull up the grass until this weekend or next. It takes about three weeks to completely cure so until then, if it gets hit with a shovel or anything sharp, it will knick it. Which we don't want. Some asshole stepped on the curbing out by the trees but Matt was able to fix it quite nicely.

I think once we get the grass pulled up and build up the flower beds a little, it's going to look so nice. Matt did such an awesome job with the flower bed. He made it using the left over stone from when they did our house. We've had a lot of comments on how much people like it.

What a nice weekend

This past weekend was a lot of fun.

Friday night Matt & I went to see Hancock. I had only seen the preview once or twice and it really didn't spark my interest so I wasn't all that excited to go. We dropped the kids off at Jenn's and made it to the theater at 7:50 for the 7:55 showing. Normally there wouldn't be a chance in hell to get tickets to a newly released show on a Friday night, especially that late. However, if you add in the fact that The Dark Knight was released on Friday, then we had a chance. We were able to get our tickets, popcorn and drink and find a decent seat by the time the previews started!

Megaplex does reserved seating, which in my opinion is incredibly assnine! People just sit wherever they want so it's just an exercise in futility. I knew about this because one of the girls that was in treatment with me worked at The Gateway theaters and talked about it.

Just to make sure, when we walked in, I glanced over to where our seats were supposed to be and it looked like they were occupied. No big deal, we just found some others. But wouldn't you know. After the previews started, some dumbass walks up our side and stops at our aisle. Matt asked me if I had our tickets and as I was trying to figure out where I put them, I commented something about not being stupid, people really don't sit in their "reserved seat". She must have heard me because she said not to worry about it, they would just sit in the seats in front of us.

Anyway, Hancock turned out to be a really good movie.

After the movie we went to Iggy's and had appetizers and drinks on the patio. It was nice to just get to sit and talk without having to worry about what the kids were doing.

Saturday morning we went over to Jen's to watch the kids while they were at work. We just hung out at the pool and relaxed. Okay, so I don't know if relax is an appropriate word. Not exactly the easiest thing to do when you are watching 4 toddlers all under the age of 4.

The kids had fun though.

Another day at the ballpark

Kolby had a baseball game in Lehi so we were actually able to see him play. The kids are so involved in sports and so amazing, it was nice to be able to watch a game. With our busy schedules things don't seem to mesh well.

We weren't able to stay for the whole game because the Camden & Kenna started getting whiney and weren't listening. I swear, it's the moon!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Today we went to a Salt Lake Bees game. Harmon's has $3 vouchers for Monday night home games so we took advantage of it. With the price of gas acting out of control we decided to ride Trax. The kids were really excited to do both. As soon as we started to go, Kenna starts yelling CHOO! CHOO! (it sounded like coo coo).

The kids had a lot of fun. We sat out on the grass so the kids could run around and play. There was a train that runs the entire game and they were dying to go on it, so of course, they got to. While we were in line, the Bee came around and we were able to get a picture with the kids.

I think the full moon is having an effect on the kids. The past couple of days they have NOT been getting along! Hopefully they'll go back to normal soon. One of the funniest things they do when they fight is Kenna will get on top of Camden and dead weight him. Camden gets pretty mad.

I did it!!

With a little help from a friend, I have learned how to customize my blog!! I must say, I'm pretty impressed!

Lagoon!!

My work had our Lagoon Day(s) this week and we went yesterday. Lagoon is an amusement park with a water park inside about an hour away from our house.

Rattle Snake Rapids is a water ride that is similar to whitewater rafting. The car that you sit in is round and moves down the "river" with what seems like a mind of it's own. There are waterfalls and rapids and people can also shoot you with water gun type things from the observation deck. It's impossible to not get wet on this ride.

We got soaked!!!!

Me, Camden & Kenna went on the kiddie roller coaster.

The kids loved the train ride! The train goes through an area with animals, kind of like a small zoo. There were tigers, cougars, an ostrich, camels, deer, kangaroos and lots of ducks.

Time to take a break and have some lunch......hotdogs, Doritos and lemonade!
After getting clean faces, we were off to ride more rides. We took the stroller for the kids to ride in but Kenna liked pushing it instead. She is little miss independent and pushes your hand away when you try to help her steer(she forgets to watch where she's going).


We went to the water park and, of course, the kids loved it! They love anything that has to do with water. Camden had a great time going down the smaller water slides. Kenna had fun too but she was getting cold so she and I went in the tube and floated in the "lazy river". I knew she was tired so I was hoping she would fall asleep while I was holding her, and she did. I didn't want to chance the camera getting wet so I don't have any pictures of the water park.

After a long day in the sun, a melt down is inevitable.



We went on a ride that you can move the car up or down while it is going around. There are dolpins along the perimeter that spit water at you. The first time I got wet and the second time Kenna got really wet! I was laughing pretty hard because I was trying to keep us out of the water but it kept getting her.


We went on the Sky Scraper which is a huge ferris wheel with gondolas. Even though I hate heights, the view was pretty nice. There is a wheel in the middle that you can use to make the gondola spin, lucky for me, Matt doesn't like to spin.

Kenna wasn't too sure at first.

It was a very long day in the sun that was packed with lots of fun. The kids didn't stay awake long once we got in the car.
