WildLife Museum

Later on in the day, after the Biggest Loser 5K, Shannon, Rocki and Kids and Us went to Lunch and then to the Wildlife Museum.  We haven't been there since Ammon was a baby, so it was fun to go again!

 Alley is busy listening to the info about the animals. :)

 Ammon constantly had his binoculars out...haha

 Artie looks real excited, huh? :)

 See the Crocodile in the background....that's what they wanted to pose by :)



*I LOVE the 4th*

The 4th definitely feels like Christmas to me!  It is one of my favorite holidays!  It's all about traditions and family and fun, & celebrating something really important!  I love it! Of course as always we did the fun at Bunkerville.  I'll always be a bunkerville girl u know =). Adlers race was the first race.  I'm glad they put a blanket down...usually all the babies hate to crawl on the grass.  I wasn't sure what Adler would do, he hasn't been crawling that long, but he sure is getting fast.  But, I couldn't get him to come to me...haha.  "You want me to do what?"

Now Ammon's turn.  Ammon won his race!  Good Job Buddy!

Wow!  A silver Dollar Medal.

Ashlyn's Race....Ashlyn did good, she took 2nd.

Alley's turn, Go AlleyQuit looking at the other girls and just Run!  LOL  The girl to the right won and Alley took 2nd.

We had fun getting ready for the 4th painting and making our shirts and festive hair bows for the girls.  The girls did good on their shirts, I taped them and they colored in the red stripes and stars....so fun!  We used the Cricut and fabric on the rest of the shirt stuff, I thought they turned out cute!  We might make that a new tradition and make shirts every year! So Fun!  Rocki gave me the idea to put "Shaner" on the back, I loved it!

I LOVE this picture!Mmmm...you make that look good!

My view of the kids from up here! =)

Reinacting the races

How 'bout a SnoCone?Now that's talent! LOL

The Fam

Then of course the kids stripped down to their swimming suits and got sprayed by the fire truck and played in the Splash Pad for a while.  We then headed home for some rest and later that night went back for fireworks and the video of the morning activities.  It was good, even though Adler had pretty much had it by then and all the Loudness of the fireworks....he cried the whole fireworks show....

That morning in the car on the way back home all of a sudden Alley said, "I miss Grandma Leavitt." Then, Ashlyn & Ammon said, "Me too!"  Here is Grandma and Ammon last year on the 4th.  We miss you so much Grandma!  I still can't believe you are gone!

All the Bunkerville activities were on Saturday, the 3rd. The 4th we went to church and later on walked to the ball fields by our house and hung out with the Andersons (Trav, Nat & family).  We had a fun time and watched the Mesquite fireworks & lit a few of our own. 

It was like a fun 4th weekend.  Today we headed to the Rec Center for some swimming! 

What a fun weekend!

What a WEEkEnD!

Friday the kids and I and a couple of my cousins, Danyel & Celeste, and their kids went to have fun at the Splash Park. It's always fun each time we go there. The kids have a BLAST and this time Ammon actually liked the water splashing on him. I forgot my camera so thanks Danyel for giving me these pics!

Saturday I went to my sister in law, Rocki's baby shower. We are so excited to see this little Shaner Baby Boy and FiNaLLy the kids will have a cousin on the Shaner side! And of course I always love making some fun homemade items to give, especially for baby showers! I wasn't really feeling so good when I woke up saturday, a little nausea and very tired (NO I'm not PrEgO people, don't worry! :D) But, the day continued and we had plans later that night with some friends for a BBQ and swimming! (of course I forgot the camera again :( We had a great time despite the fact that I wasn't feeling so great! Ammon is officially our little Fishy! He loves the water and kicked & kicked and was so excited the whole time. But, the fun stopped there, later on I had a slight fever and I just wanted to go to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night having to throw up A LOT! Yucky! So, I stayed home from church today and My sweet "Mama's Boy" Ammon and I are just hanging out at home while I try to feel better and Artie and the kids are off visiting family. I sure hope this passes soon and I really hope nobody else in the fam starts feeling this way, especially Ammon, he has plenty to go through this week with his tests on Friday at Sunrise Hospital. Anyway, that's my great weekend, fun but not! Wish me a better week!
