Party Day!!!

After we opened presents for Thomas' birthday, we headed up to Sandy to celebrate some more!  T wanted to golf for his birthday, so Josh took him and Jace and met up with Pops at a golf course!  They got a cart and everything!  They even got a Slurpee afterward!  Best. Day. Ever. 
This picture makes me smile!
 Meanwhile, I took the girls and went to Emily's baby shower at her sister Erin's house in Herriman.  
 After our separate fun, we got back together and headed as far west as we possibly could to ride the Rhino with Grandma and Grandpa.  Grandma made Thomas a BYU blanket for his birthday - his special request.  :)  
 Then it was sand, dirt, sun and cousin fun for the afternoon!  I love these pictures!!!



 Kaley and cute baby Lexi - she is darling!!!
 These three are best buds! 

 We all took turns driving the kiddos around - even I took a turn!  Love the wind in my face, sun on my skin and squealing kids!  

 Middle of nowhere, clear out west!
 There was a super nice girl there that was flying a kite.  She brought over an extra one for our kids to fly.  It was just the right amount of wind to keep it high!




 While Cam and Rach were on a ride, I held the baby and she felt asleep in my arms!!!  Best feeling.  I tell ya, between the family, the sun, and a baby in my arms, it was a pretty darn great day!  :)
Grandma and Grandpa had to get back home around 4:15, so we all parted ways then.  We went home, had dinner (homemade Cafe Rio), and had Thomas' cake.  He wanted a sports cake this year, and this is what I came up with.  All that matters is that Thomas loved it!




What a handsome kid!  I am still trying to find the time to take this boy out to take some pictures of him.  They will come soon.  Such a fun birthday day!  I'm sure he won't forget it anytime soon!

Thomas' 7th Birthday!!!

I can't believe this little buddy is 7!!!  Saturday was his birthday and we celebrated the entire day!  Here are the pictures from opening presents in the morning.



 The kids got the biggest giggle out of the card Great Grandma and Grandpa Putnam sent.  It had monkey sounds when you open it!  So funny!
 You can tell THIS monkey loved it!




 Thomas' big gift this year was a new bike!  He's pretty thrilled that it has gears and hand brakes!  Wahoo!





Happy Birthday T Man!  More birthday celebration pics to come!

Walk A Thon

Last week on Thursday was the kids' Walk A Thon at the school.  It was nice enough weather so we enjoyed an hour there.  The kids walk around the field and get their cards marked for each lap.  After 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 laps they get a prize.  Then they can turn in their card for a drawing.  





 Kaley was miss social butterfly and ran with a couple of her girl friends and raced around with a few of the boys from her class too.  
 Jace and Soph ran around a few times!








 Kaley, Kyla and Whitney - cute girlies!
 I was so proud of Soph!  I think she ran around about 10 times!  She didn't get her own card until half way through though, so she only had 5 marked off.  She still got to choose a prize!  Love that girl!
