Happy Father's Day!

"Father... is ever willing to sacrifice his own comfort for that of his children.  Daily he toils to provide the necessities of life, never complaining, ever concerned for the well-being of his family.  This love for his children, this desire to see them well and happy, is a constant in a time of change."
-Thomas S. Monson


Happy Father's Day Rich!!!

Thanks for all you do.
You are such a wonderful father.
We love you so much!!!

I hesitated posting this...
but it was such a good time I just had to!

Our last night in Boston we decided it was best if we ended the trip with a round off contest.



As you can see Rich took this very seriously.
He has an amazing round off, just look at that form.
HA!

 Mckay's technique is very unique!

 Grant giving it his all!

Then there was Laura, the best part of the round off contest.
Take a look...

 If you can believe it Laura recovered from this landing.
  I was so worried I was going to have to talk to her about a smile makeover.

I ended my round off with a little dance...

I have not done a round off in years!
It definitely made me realize I am no spring chicken! 
I am embarrassed to say I was sore the next day!
SAD!!!

Such a good time!

Boston: Day 4

Landon
LOVES, LOVES, LOVES
 motorcycles!

When he saw this little blue motorcycle he had to ride it.
He was in heaven!

Saturday morning Rich and Landon took a ride on the little blue motorcycle.
After the motorcycle ride around the yard,
we headed off  to the local bowling alley to get our bowl on!


This was Landon's first time bowling and he loved it!
Even though we bowled with bumpers, he played a pretty good game.


Of course Rich played an amazing game.
I think his socks were his goodluck charm. Ha!

Boston: Day 3

Friday was another fun filled day.
  The weather outside was nice and hot, perfect weather for the good old slip n' slide. 

This slip n' slide was no ordinary slip n' slide.
Take a look...


It was HUGE!

The boys set it all up, letting the water run down and then throwing dish soap all over it to make it more slippery.

Sounds like fun, right?


Sure, for everyone but Landon.


Landon would not go down the slide!

   Rich thought if he could just get Landon to go down just once, that he would love it.  So Rich decided he would help Landon go down the slide, by giving him a little push.

  You can see by the look on poor Landon's face he was NOT having fun! 
He did NOT appreciate dad's help.


There were a few tears shed,
but luckily Aunt Laura had popsicles to save the day.

Later that day we headed out to another baseball game.  This time Grant's baseball game.  On the way to the field we thought we should stop and get a delicious Dunkin' Donut.

Yum! Yum!

To finish the day, we all gathered around the fire to enjoy some tasty smores.


Tessa had a VERY long day.
As you can see she was beyond tired.

Landon surprised me this trip.
  He just kept going and going, like the energizer bunny.
 He could not get enough of all that was going on.

Landon loved the fire and of course the smores.
Good times on the farm!

Boston: Day 2


Thursday was a loaded with fun.
  We went to lunch and then headed over to Walmart and purchased hours of fun...
Water Guns and Bubbles!!!
  Can't get anymore fun than that.  The kids were in heaven!





Once the kids were all bubbled and water gunned out, we headed to Mckay's baseball game.  At the field there was a little park for the kids to play on. 

Slides and Swings!!!
Bring it on!

Boston: Day 1

Last Wednesday we all went to Boston to visit Aunt Laura and the gang. We left Utah at 10am and arrived in Boston at 5pm. It was definitely a long day, but the kids did great. Landon had his suitcase full of goodies for the flight and Tessa of course was great.


At the airport.
Landon was thrilled with his suitcase and poor Tessa is struggling to stay awake.


Finally on the plane.
Only 4 1/2 hours until we arrive to Boston!!!


The kids did really well on the flight. I think I struggled more than they did. I guess I was so excited to be going on vacation I could hardly wait to get there. I knew there was fun awaiting us.


And let the fun begin!

Once we got to Boston, we headed to Aunt Laura's house. Jane and Landon enjoyed a nice glass of chocolate milk and then ran upstairs to jump on the bed before going to bed.

I have a million pictures from this trip and plan to post of ton of them.
There will be more to come!
