Kenny Chesney

A couple of weeks ago, Matt surprised me with tickets to Kenny Chesney...I love, love him! Actually I love almost all country...Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert were there too...it was so fun and they were all SO good.

It was outside at the Rio Tinto soccer stadium...super hot, but fun to be outside

Can you tell thats Kenny way up there?!

When we got home, this is what we found. Ella made Morgan and Amy (the babysitters!) sleep with her in her bed...so cute and cozy!

Birthday Boy

Gage turned one on the 21st, and I really just can't believe it! He is definitely not a baby anymore...walking everywhere and starting to say words...it really is crazy how fast they grow up. We had a little party for him at our park...it was perfect for all the other kids to run around and play...Gage just ran around with them, he is already trying to keep up with Ella and her friends! He is such a good little boy...I remember when I had him last year how nervous I was to have 2 kids so close together. Little did I know what a blessing he would be for our little family...he makes me so happy, in ways I didn't know I could be. We love, love, love you Gage...Happy Birthday!!

He is obsessed with anything that has wheels...grandma & grandpa Taylor got this little train for him...he LOVES it, it is the cutest thing to watch him push this aroud everywhere

Of course Ella wanted in on all of his presents...she kept telling me, 'I'm a good sister mom, I push Gage everywhere!'

Cute party guests:)

Helping open presents

(I promise I'm not white trash and let my kid run around with no shirt on...he had just finished his cake, hence the bare belly!)

Bob the Builder cake

He was NOT into his cake...he doesn't really like sweets that much...strange child:)

Happy Birthday Gage!!

A Little of This, A Little of That

We have sure been enjoying our summer, and are gladly keeping very busy. I am loving summertime with my kids...barbecues, swimming, parks, playing...it's so fun for all of us to get out and do fun things. We had a good 4th...hung out at Bear Lake, and saw some fireworks. Our kids have been pretty sleep deprived, and pretty ornery lately...but oh well, its been worth it!

Excited because we are on our way to "Magoon" (as she calls it).

Riding the rides with her cousins...they are so cute with her, and she sure loves them.

Gotta love that face!

We love Bear Lake! The kids had so much fun up there...playing all day in the sand and water, what could be better?! (this is cute aunt Ashley with the monkey Gage:)

And these are the extent of the pictures I took on the 4th....just waiting to leave for the fireworks...

Matt thinks it looks like she is trying to choke him here...hmm, she probably was:)
