Fun with Cousins

Carillon Concert

Last week we got to spend some time with Betts cousins. On Thursday night Grandma and Grandpa, and Holly and her kids came down to Provo to listen to the Carillon Concert at the BYU Bell Tower. We have enjoyed this concert in the past. It was a lot of fun to have them join us this year. Maggie was freaking out that the bells were playing for a long time and not just the few notes of 'Come, Come Ye Saints' that play every hour. She gets quite excited about the bell tower. She spent the first few minutes just jumping up and down in place.

The Peterson's and the Betts'.

Grandpa Betts wondering if the bells were playing a song yet, of if they hadn't finished "tuning". (Dave wrote this)

In the lower left corner of the black panel beneath the bells, you can see some of the fluorescent lighting that lights up the area where the musicians are seated.

This is a picture of the TV that they had broadcasting the players up in the tower.

It's pretty amazing to watch.

Father's Day

We headed up to Bountiful to spend Father's Day at Grandma and Grandpa Betts'. Dinner was delicious, as always, and it was fun to be up there. After dinner the kids went outside and ran and played for hours. They had a BLAST! They were all so cute running and playing together. Maggie and Caleb were attached at the hip, they were best little buddies, it was darling. Chloe would join them occasionally, but she is too wild...mostly she just had to run and run and run!

Greta was able to catch some great action shots of the kids playing "Run Fishie Run" / "Sharks and minnows" and the rest of their running around. You don't see Dave in this shot because he's currently playing the shark.

On Your Mark.....Get Set.....

GO!!!!

I love this picture!

Taking a little break to 'help' Grandpa do some watering.

My Pretty Girls :)

Best Buds.

(Check out the 'Plumber Butt')

I love her happy little face.

These 2 are so cute.

They are only 3 months apart.

Attack!

As you can see my girls were in Heaven. It was a great day!

This is the Place Heritage Park

There was a free day at the park, so we decided to take the girls to check it out. We had so much fun and the girls loved it. We got to ride a couple trains, pet some baby animals, and Mags got to ride a horse. She was thrilled.

We finally found something that Chloe is nervous about. As we were in line for the horse ride, she realized what was going on, she looked at the horses and then back at me and very emphatically said 'NO'. It was really funny.

It was nice that it was free, plus we even got free ice cream cones.

Maggie on the boat.

It's a replica of the boats that brought many of the pioneers across to America.

Maggie has many ancestors that were part of these groups.

I wanted Dave to do the Titanic 'I'm the king of the world', but he wouldn't....what a party pooper.

Enjoying her ice cream

Loving the baby sheep.

Maggie's horse ride. Very exiting!

Sharing some snacks while waiting for the train.

Coco and I on the train at the end of our day.

Dave and Mags.

We are so glad that we went, we all had a great time.

These are just a couple random pictures, they are cute and I want my Mom to see them :)

They don't quite understand that the markers are for paper.

They both thought they were gorgeous with their pretty 'makeup' on....I'm not so sure.

Thank goodness for washable markers.

I came to check on Chloe and this is what I found.

She did this all on her own. She got the cookies, climbed into the chair and set herself up for a nice little meal :)

The Dirty Dash

This past weekend Dave and I embarked on a crazy adventure. A few months ago my cousin called and asked us to be on their team to do a 5K Mud Run. I really didn't know what a Mud Run was, but on a whim I said 'yes', I'm glad I did. I'm also glad that I didn't know what it was or I probably would have said 'no'.
It was really fun and I would do it again next year (if I'm not Preggers).
This little video gives a pretty good idea what it was all about. It was tough and muddy and slippery. We didn't make it in the video, but we weren't doing any back flips or anything like that....I was just happy to make it to the end :)
