One of the perks of Tyler's work is being able to do fun outings. We went to the Bee's game on Friday night, and had a ball (ha ha). We were in a suite, and the kids were in heaven w/ all you could eat popcorn, hot dogs, drinks, etc. Before we went to the game, they were asking if they would get to see Bumble again this time. You can imagine their excitement when he came walking right down to see them.

early morning
I took the kids to the Sandy City Balloon Festival on Friday morning. I was a little reluctant to wake my sleeping kids at 6:30 a.m., but I knew I would get the 3rd degree later if I hadn't done it. It went from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m. Luckily, it was just at the park down the street from our house, so I didn't feel like it was such a big ordeal. As you can see the fall-like attire, this was a CHILLY morning. It was really fun to see all of the balloons flying around. They kept going up and down, and there were so many of them.

Fun night out
Tyler and I took the kids over to Safety Days at Draper park on Tuesday night. We had so much fun doing the bounce houses, getting faces painted, going through the ambulance, fire engine and helicopter. Riley and Abby wanted to climb the rock wall more than anything. I was quite impressed w/ how patient they were waiting in such a long line. They both did really well, and Riley actually made it up to the top.

My awesome hubby
I usually save my "tributes" until special days: birthdays, anniversary's, graduations, etc. Today isn't really a special day, but just one of those bitter-sweet ones. Tyler has served as the Young Men's president in our ward for over 3 years, and was released today. He served in the YM's for the last 8 yrs. in one calling or another, and has watched these young men grow up- literally. I know I am biased, but I think he did such a great job. Hearing the testimonies of a couple of his young men today in church proved that he has made such a difference in their lives. He has done so many fun things w/ those boys: Camping, boating, biking, teaching his Priests how to ask a girl out (without texting them), and actually dating. We have hosted MANY date nights at our house where the boys came over earlier to make food, decorate, etc... then go home and get their dates. We have had movie parties outside where the boys have come over in the middle of the day to claim their Love Sac's, and carry them outside to the backyard for me. He invited the boys over to study Preach My Gospel before school once a week, followed by their traditional cereal buffet. Sunrise hikes, coming over to tell us where they got their mission calls, rallying around us when we lost our little baby... The Young Men in our ward have truly been a blessing to our family, and especially Tyler. I asked him earlier if he said "good-bye" to them today in Priests quorum. He told me that it isn't goodbye. They will always be a part of his life, and will always be some of his closest friends. I love you Ty, and I am so grateful to have you in my life!
You're the best!!
Bear Lake Adventures
We went to Bear Lake over the 24th of July with Tyler's family, and had a ton a fun! The kids LOVE going to the beach, and could spend forever there. Here are a couple of pics of our trip:
