Home Sweet Home

I decided this summer I was going to take time to go home for awhile, so the first week of August the kids and I went to Roosevely for a week. Scott stayed behind and went to California and finished our landscaping (I will post pictures of that later). We loved being in Roosevelt and it felt like a vacation to us. While we were there it was UBIC and I hadn't been to that for years, so it was fun to take the kids to the events and see lots of old friends.

This is Brayden at Art in the Park, he was in the Little Chicken play (or I guess it was more a reenactment). He made his head band thing of a blue chicken all by himself and then the lady told the story as they acted it out. He also made a bird house, a badge and other little craft things. He liked it a lot.

We went to the awesome UBIC parade. This was actually our first parade this year. I know we have a parade every week in Utah country, we just find them not that exciting, so we don't take the kids. But the UBIC parade brought back memories of when I was a little kid and it was fun to see my niece and people I knew in it. The kids liked the candy!!!

Kate actually liked it a lot and loved to wave to everyone!!! She is our friendly one for sure!

She didn't like the noisy trucks that just honked and honked. It was annoying.

The other kids didn't like it either!!

Sunglasses

Brayden and Kate stole Hudson (my nephew's) Sunglasses. Brayden thought he looked pretty cool!

Kate was just trying to figure out how to wear them! There upside down, but she still thought she looked pretty cool as well.

Grandpa's Parade

So, Kate was being mean and ornery one night and my brother was trying to help me and thought she would like a wagon ride. The next thing we knew Grandpa Kendall got his riding lawn mower out and was pulling the wagon. The kids in the wagon LOVED IT!!!

But the problem was that they all wanted to be pulled so Grandpa rigged up a little train of wagons and tractors and pulled them all around until it got dark. Lynda then got the idea of having the kids and Grandpa be in the Duchesne parade the following weekend. At first dad wasn't gain for it, but with a little talking he gave and the next day Lynda registered us for the parade.

We had to go home before the parade, but this was a practice (that what we will call it). Lynda bought hats for the kids and Kate loved it. She would wear her hat and wave.

Bowling

We took the kids bowling and it was interesting!! It took us 2 hours to bowl one game. The kids kept wanting to play the arcade games instead.

Look at Brayden's AWESOME shoes. My little niece Jocelyn wouldn't wear them, she thought they were ugly!! Do you blame her. Brayden had no problem with them being ugly. But I do think the bowling ally should think about upgrading their shoes.

Kate just wanted to ride the horse, she didn't care about bowling. If was only 25 cents so she rode it a lot.

We made lots of good memories and LOVED being with everyone. When it came time for us to leave Brayden and I both had tears in our eyes. It felt good to go home. Thanks Mom and Dad, all my siblings, nieces and nephews for being so great. We love you and can't wait until Thanksgiving to come stay with you again!!!!
