~Circleville, UT~

::7/5-7/8::

This last weekend we took a family trip down to Circleville (Piute). We had a great turn out and I think everyone had a great time. I know our little family did. This first night we just got our stuff unpacked and visited with my parents (maga & papa) and aunt Kylee. The next morning we got up and headed down to Piute Reservoir. Everyone else was planning on joining us this day. While we were down there Aunt Keesha, Greg, Jarryn, and Lexi got there, so they joined us. Kylee caught the first fish. The girls (Kimberly and Lexi) were ok and excited to see the fish, until it flip out of my dads hands and that was it, they didn't want anything to do with seeing the fish. They both started crying and freaking out. I guess I don't blame them, who would like a big slimy fish flopping all over. Greg and Jarryn caught another one and there were a few bits but nothing to amazing. The girls enjoyed playing with the bucket, bubbles, and chalk I brought. I don't think either girl really even cared about there poles once they were in the water. That is why I took a picture of Kimberly's chair empty (that pretty much how it looked the whole time we were at the lake). I got some pretty good sun the first day so I had to remember the sunscreen the rest of the trip. Ali did good, she just sat in her car seat enjoying the heat!

This night Jeremy and I made dinner. Dutch oven BBQ chicken and ribs. I found a recipe on the Internet that I decided to try. It turned out so good! If you would like recipe let me know. Aunt Traci brought the sides for our dinner. The whole thing went together so well. The place we stayed (Butch Cassidy's Hideout) had Basketball and we brought some stuff to play. We had a good time hanging out and visiting with the whole family.

The following day (Saturday) we all went for a ride on the 4wheelers, Razors, and Rhino. Even Ali went. We just put her in her snuggy and Maga held her in the razor with Papa and Aunt Kylee. I'm glad she did good on the ride. We started the ride in Marysvale and headed up to a mine (It was really cool) then we headed up to a beautiful waterfall. We had to hike a little to get there but it was so worth it. Then we went back to the trailers and sat in the shade. While a few of the others went on a little longer ride. After the ride we went to a pizza place there in Marysvale and had a late lunch.

Kimberly helped daddy drive the truck around to hook up the trailer.

I did these collages because there were so many pictures. So I hope you can see all the pictures! I'm not a huge fan of collages because it makes the pictures small but when I had over 50 pictures to put on here I decided to do them.

Later that evening most of the family went fishing and Jeremy, Trip, grandma & Grandpa Dyches and I went on another ride from our motel up the piute trail, While Grandma (Patti) watched the two girls. 

The last day we packed up the trucks and headed to Otter Creek to do a little more fishing before heading home. A few caught some really big nice fish, but our little family didn't. I was a little sad that we didn't catch one but I guess that just means we need to go fishing again this summer. It ended up being a fun trip and we all plan on doing it again. Thanks for everyone that joined us and maked it such a great trip.

I think we worn these girls out. They were both out when we started the drive home. Even Ali got a little sun. I'm just glad I did good with Kimberly and she didn't get burnt.

Who attended: The Coon's (Jeremy, Kirah, Kimberly, Ali), Maga & Papa, Grandma Patti & Pa, Great Grandma & Grandpa Dyches, Aunt Traci & Uncle Blake, Aunt Keesha, Uncle Greg, Jarryn, Lexi, Chandler & Kristen, Aunt Kylee, Aunt Kenzi & Tanner. Dogs: Nike (Kenzi's) and CC (Traci's)

~July is here~ 3 new posts

 July is one of our favorite months. Jeremy LOVES fireworks! Kimberly has been pretty afraid of them but she actually got a little more into it this last weekend. 

We washed all the vehicles and Ali wanted to help! She loves being outside!

Kimberly playing with pop-its

 She was cute she would put one on the ground for me and one for her and then we would count to three and pop them together.

 

 A sparkler!!! Our dog LOVES fireworks almost as  much as Jeremy!

 Running threw the sprinklers. Another thing Kimberly is afraid of these days 'water' so mommy took her threw the sprinklers. (showing her that there isn't anything to be afraid of, she seemed to have a good time. It was just bad that she was just the right height that it would hit her right in the face. She would come out with a big smile though so I guess it wasn't to bad!)

 Then daddy did. He was a cheater though! I had to yell at him to get in the water he would wait until it would pass then run. I wonder why she wont go into the water!! Silly daddy!

 Love this girl!!!

 Jeremy let Kimberly play with her fishing pole. He threw the line up over a wire in our back yard. well Rover wanted to get the dummy fish!!!

 After we had been outside most the day I took Ali in to change her diaper while Jeremy watered some of the plants. When all the sudden we heard Kimberly start to cry. It didn't sound to bad and I figured Jeremy would get her. All the sudden Jeremy came running into the house asking for the camera. He said "I know this is mean but I have to take a picture!" So I went running out to see what had happened and this is what I saw........

 She had some how fallen into Rovers water dish! She will probably be mad at us when she is older but it was pretty funny! 

Later we went back out and did some more fireworks and sparklers!

Ali went to her 2 month appointment. The doctor said she looks really good and is growing just right.  She did have to get her shots but she did really well only cried  while she was getting them. She had a little fever and I could tell her leg hurt a little. Such a strong girl!

Tall and skinny just like her big sister! 

 

 Look who is finding her fingers!!! uh oh we might end up with another thumb sucker. I'm trying to keep her on the binkie but it is nice when she can sooth herself!

 I did this with Kimberly when she was little so I knew I had to with Ali. I love painting our nails! Ali's are so little it was a little harder but they look so cute. I LOVE having girls!

~Zoo Again~

 ::6/26/12::

 I seriously love the new exhibit at the zoo!!!! I love watching the seals and sea lion swim around and I LOVE the polar bear! It is so cute how she swims and jumps up right in front of the kids. We had a fun day with Janica, Ariana, Gerry, and Anela. We actually ended up spending over 5 hours there. We saw every animal, rode the rides, and played at the playground. We still need to take daddy back before our pass expires.

 Kimberly's favorite animal right now. The rhino!

 Ali's first Carousel ride!

 The elephant knows how to find a comfy seat!!!

Anela loves baby Ali. She wants to hold and love on her all the time.

::Kimberly::

01. When we went to St. George I was planning on her staying with Maga and Papa and she didn't want to, she wanted to stay at the hotel with mommy and daddy.

02. Had her first swim lessons. Did ok the first day but didn't like it the rest of the time. (Maybe next year she will like it better)

03. Favorite word "why" she says it ALL the time. Kind of drives me nuts!

04. I have starting seeing more of the jealousy stage from having Ali.

05. Hasn't been sleeping threw the night very well. We think she has learned from Ali that if she cries we come running. We have caught on so we don't always respond when she cries.

06. She is afraid of loud noises. Lawn mower, mixer, 4wheeler, etc.

07. Potty trained!!!!!!!!! (pretty much only took one week!) Her butt is so small she doesn't fit in 2t underwear!!

08. Favorite shows Dora, Mickey, Little Einstiens, and Team Umizoomi.

09. Loves playing with all the big kids. Nice for mommy and daddy when we are at places and she is content with playing with friends. She calls every kid her 'friend' even if she doesn't know them.

10. Can pretty much get herself dressed. (The clothes are usually backwards but she can get them on) She can also put her shoes on all by herself. (but not the tied ones will work on those this winter)

::Kimberly funnies::

06. Smiles most the time. (we love her little smile) She kind of laughed it was so cute

::Mommy & Daddy::

01. Daddy's car is having problems again!!! Grrrr... (Kind of think its time to sell it but Jeremy loves his cars!)

02. Mommy had her 10 year class reunion. (man I feel old)

03. Our garden is doing good, We already see signs of veggies and fruits!

04. Went up to Evanston to get fireworks (Jeremy's Favorite time of year) All of his buddies at work gave him coupons.
