4th Of July

I know I'm behind but I'm catching up!! For the 4th Garret woke up just in time for the Farr West parade.  Zach family came to our house to watch it since it goes right in front of our house

 Here's the crew accept Whitney, she is taking the picture.  Laci was such a good sport she was just weeks away from delivering her baby and she didn't complain about the heat!! She's amazing I probably would have locked myself in the house haha

 Garret LOVES riding grandpa's golf cart and grandpa LOVES taking him for rides so here he is in our back yard riding around with grandpa.

 After the Farr West parade which was not much we got Garret dressed and headed over to the North Ogden parade which had a lot more people waiting and a lot more people in it!!

 Then that night my family came out to our house and we met Zach's family at the park behind our house.  Farr West does a big greek dinner that is so good while you wait for the fire works. 

 Here Garret is eating a nice peice of rib that Grandpa Guy gave him and he loved it haha

 Just before the fire works went off we went back to our house because we were going to be able to see the fire works from our back yard.  That way I was able to give our little man a bath and have him ready for bed when they were over.  He has loved fire works this year so it's been fun!!

Garret is finishing the day off with a sucker.... or so he thinks haha I kept the wrapper on... no reason to give him a sugar high at 10 pm!!!!

Park city

 My parents have started a tradition every summer we go to a condo in park city for a few days. 

The condo has 4 bedrooms and 3 baths,  so it's perfect for each family and has been a lot

of fun the past few years!!  My mom had crafts for the kids to do so here is Landen doing his

sun flower and Garret watching

 We went swimming a lot!!! Landen and Carter love to swim... This was Garret's first

go at it and he HATED it!!  Here he is screaming in the pool

 He quickly was out and much happier to just watch

 These boys LOVE their grandpa!!! This was a normal thing all the boys would play

with grandpa's Ipad on his lap

We went on the alpine slide of course... It's a MUST

As you can see by the end our little guy was in the water and now LOVES it!!

 Garret loves playing with his cousin's he followed them everywhere and they are so

good with him!! They always make sure he is envolved and having fun

I love our park city trips and can't wait for next year!!!

What a mess!!

About 4 months ago we started seeing that there was a point in our grass that was WAY green and was starting to grow mushrooms.  Zach knew it was our water main leaking so he dug it up to see what was going on and sure enough there was a big hole and a crack in the pipe.  It was the old kind of pipe so zach figured we would just run a new line, our land lord called a guy to come look at it and he decided it just needed a "band aide" we said okay but knew for sure we would run into another problem down the road by the way the pipe looked..... Well the next morning I was taking a shower and thought that there wasn't a lot of pressure behind the water, but didn't think much of it cause I had to get ready because we were leaving that afternoon for park city with my family.  Then awhile later I could hear what sounded like water still running some where and I walked outside to see our grass was flooded with water and the place we had dug up was a mud whole with water pooring out, I called zach and he sent his dad over to shut it off.  We were using water up and FAST!!! Zach's dad called our land lord and told him we just need to run a new line, after that zach's dad went back to work because we had to wait for zach to get home to decide how we were going to do this with us leaving.

When zach got home he decided he would start digging the trench for the new like so that we could get as much done as we could before we were leaving.  The first jump on the shovel and water started going every where he had hit the line for the secondary water...  It was bad we couldn't find a valve to turn it off!!!

 So now we have two whole of water...

 Thank fully Jeremy zach's brother in law was driving by and stopped when he saw what was going on...  He is awesome and between the two I knew they would figure something out they are both mr fix it!!! They decided the best thing to do would be to kink the pipe until we got someone to shut it off... as you can see water was coming out fast again!!

 Zach got a lot dug up before we had to leave but we have amazing family and zach's dad went back over that night and finished digging the trench for us with a little tractor, it was so nice we were still able to go on our little get away and not worry because we knew Guy would have everything done!!

 This is when we came home the line was ran and we had water again thank fully!!

 Garret liked the tractor!!  He road on it for a bit with his dad

 This is after we had filled it with the dirt.. then we had to put a hose down in the bottom to make it wet so that the dirt would fill in better...

It was quiet the adventure and now hopefully we will have no more problems with water!!
