FFD

The day after we got home from Bear Lake we spent the day at my favorite parade in the entire world, Farmington Festival Days Parade! Talk about the greatest parade on the planet.  Lots of cute floats, horses, no one standing in front of you in the streets, TONS of candy and just enough people to make it fun!

The girls with their candy bags

Following the parade I love walking around the carnival area and looking at all the cute booths.  There are tons of fun things for the little kiddos like the baby goats (which is what inspired my mom last year to buy a couple) the train rides and blow up stuff.  Afterwards it was off to my parents for a bbq and swimming.

After heading home and enjoying ourselves a great nap we got Panda Express take-out and headed to the Farmington Fire Works.  Paislee loved playing at the Park and running around the baseball field where we sat.

Paislee and Jayson entertained me the entire night

Hill and Conner joined us just in time for the fireworks! 

(notice the orange glow stick around Paislee's ankle.. This was a life saver.  She was running around like crazy all night and this made it easy for us to spot her in the dark.)

This is an action shot of Paislee doing her booty drop.  She bends over and puts her hands on the ground and shakes her booty.  I know this is COMPLETELY inappropriate for a little girl to be doing but it is SO funny to watch.  She was running around and stopping infront of random families laying on blankets and busting out the booty drop.  haha sillly goose.

 

Farmington Festival Days is just as fun as the 4th of July in my book (maybe even more fun?) Glad to spend it with the ones I love!

Bear Lake 2011

And so the traditions continue.... Every July we get to spend time with Jayson's family along with two other really great families, the Taylor's and the Southwicks.  Between the three families there are TONS of adults with TONS of kids.  It's crazy in 1 year how many new babies are added to the clan.

Paislee had so much fun with all the other little kids.  There are like 6 or 7 close to her age which is great!

Alot of time is spent on the beach.  Unfortunately the first day it was kind of stormy so we never whipped out the bikini's and speedo's...

Paislee & Oaklee were insperable the entire trip.  What fun cousins!

Lots of fun wagon rides around the campground

Here is Jayson filling in for his dad (who had a softball tournament, he's the couch of course haha) Jayson suited up in the apron and helped make breakfast, while pretending to be an Asian working at Tepanyaki.  This is the "shrimp toss" with hashbrowns instead..

Alot of junk food was consumed this trip, along with AMAZING breakfasts and dinners made by the parents.  They feed us like king's and queen's the entire time we're camping.

Kellson is the newest baby on the Adam side.  Paislee absolutely adores him and wants to hold him and give him kisses every time she see's him.

They made a fun kiddy pool on the beach for all the kids to play in.

Paislee hitting her first pinata.  She thought the whole concept was pretty cool..

Now this picture is priceless.  This last November we added 4 baby boys to the clan and 2 months later another.  That's right, 5 boys in 2 months.  Here are the parentals all trying to get a picture of them all looking. haha yeah right 

I'm so glad this little chica is a camping girl.  She did awesome sleeping in the tent with mom and dad and had even more fun playing in the dirt.  I think I had to change her clothes 3 times a day every day.  haha Jayson and I love camping, even when it means no showers for days and dirt under the nails.  I'm just grateful we have a daughter who loves it just as much as we do!

Fun FUNNY Fourth!

As a family we always attend the Kaysville Parade on the 4th of July.  I'm not gonna lie, their parade has gotten a little out of control.... The floats consist of truck's with an advertisment on it with a trailer with people throwing candy out of it.  And in order to even see you must stand in the road with all the kiddies (I felt justified in this only because I had a child in my arms...haha) Although it is a tradition, I think Jayson and I might part ways with the Kaysville parade next year, not for good, just to expand our horizons a little bit.

Following the parade we always go to my parents for a bbq and swimming.  With it being overcast and a tired little girl on our hands we skipped out on the swimming and went home were we all took a fabulous 2 hour nap! We then decided to go to eat as a family at Winger's..

before heading to the Kaysville fireworks.  We got there early so we could walk around and hang out with the family.  Unfortunately, Jayson and I got sick so 40 min before the fireworks started the two of us were running down the street to escape in our car to the local Walgreens (the out house lines were WAY to long) losing our PERFECT parking spot we got from getting their so early.  Close friends and family will know this is the story of my life....Am I right or am I right?? haha TMI? Yes. I am sparing you of the WAY funny details BUT, this whole experience made this 4th of July definietly one of Jayson and I's most memorable ones yet. We laugh hysterically every time we think about it.

We made it back literally minutes before the fireworks started (and totally parked illegally, but had the best parking spot in the whole church parking lot!)

Paislee was hesitant with the sparklers at first if you cant tell...

I'm sad the 4th is over... It is such a fun holiday. I'm excited to see what is in store for next year!

And so the traditions begin....

Once we hit the month of July tons of FUN family traditions begin.  July is probably one of my favorite months for this reason.  The first tradition of the month: Oakley Rodeo!

We always stop at Taggart's for dinner as a family on our way up to the rodeo.  If you haven't been there, take the fun drive up through Morgan and eat here. It makes for a fun date night! 

We always have so much fun at the rodeo.  Jayson tends to get into it and I'm not gonna lie, I scream the whole time too.... Paislee was 100% entertained the entire time.

She found a rock that she just HAD to carry around with her while we were there.

After the rodeo we drove up to Woodland where we spent the night playing games and camping.  The following day we played at the pool, watched an intense game of 21 on the basketball court (Jayson and Dad vs. Conner and Ty) HILARIOUS! and played at the park and walked around the campground. 

Thanks so much Mom & Dad for all the fun! Can't wait for next year!



From the beginning...

So I have fallen very behind on my posting lately. There has just been so much going on and little time and or desire to visit the blogging world. I have decided over the next week I will do a few different posts instead of hitting you with one massive post with hundreds of pictures.  I will start from the beginning....

First of June (the 8th to be exact) we celebrated my 23rd birthday.  Jayson took me to my favorite restaurant Tepanyaki and spoiled the heck out of me with all the thoughtful, fabulous gifts he got me.  The best part of it all was he made me a birthday cake all by himself. Frosting from scratch and all!!!

The yummiest cake ever!

We then took a fun gettaway down to St. George.  Jayson and some friends were in the summer games basketball tournament in Cedar City. It was fun to watch him play.

This is his basketball stance....

Although the trip was quick (Thursday to Saturday) we had a fun time in the pool and relaxing all day Friday when he didn't have any games.  On our way home we of course had to stop by Cabelas...

My little brother Ty has wanted a puppy SO bad for a really long time.  After Christmas and Easter went by and he hadn't received a puppy he was convinced it was never going to happen.  On our way home from St. George we stopped in Payson (we were following my parents) where my dad had some "business" to take care of.  We all got out and walked into this guys house back to where he had all these puppies.  Ty had no clue what was going on still.. Then my dad said, "Ty, pick one out".  It was the cutest thing to watch as Ty found out and picked his pup.  He started crying because he was so excited!

Meet Mccoy, the newest member of the Wood Family

Talk about the cutest birthday present ever!?

We then celebrated Ty's birthday a couple days later at Texas Roadhouse. 

I can't believe this boy is THIRTEEN! Ty has always been more like my child than my brother.  I say this because when he was born I was 10 years old and at the age where I loved babies.  I spent so much time with him.  He was my little buddy who I did everything with and liked to teach everything I knew to.  He would sleep in my bed every night I was home literally till the day I was married.  We would tell stories and say prayers together and I always just felt like he was my little child.  I can't believe he is a teenager now!! That is just so weird! 

Stay tuned to see how fun our July has been this year!
