What a week!

We have a long, busy week! Sunday after going to the cabin we came home and Seth gave Doran a haircut! It looks very handsome! Then later that night we got a dog! We were able to take the Engman family dog, Sampy. We love him and he is already right at home! Now we just need a fence so he can play outside a little longer and he needs to work on his breath too!
Monday morning Seth gave Brocky a haircut! He just trimmed it with scissors so it still has some wave to it so the curls should come back!
Tuesday we weeded at the garden.... Well I guess maybe it just felt like a busier week then it was! But today I ran my second ever 5K! It was so much fun. My friend Whitney told me about it so I signed up and then Julie signed up and we have all been running together. Last year I did one in April and I don't even know my time, but I know it wasn't good! This one I ran the whole time and did about 10 min 50 sec miles. I don't know my exact time but I feel pretty good!

Afternoon at the cabin

My Mom and Papa K invited us to dinner at their cabin today and it was so much fun! It has been so long since we have been there without snow. There are wildflowers growing all around the yard and the provo river is roaring in the backyard. Doran said it sounds like a waterfall.

You can't really see the river in this picture but it is there and it is huge! It is crazy how high and fast it is! I never want the boys to get to close to it.

Here are the cute grandparents! Papa K barbequed the yummiest steaks and there were all sorts of veggies. Doran ate his first corn on the cob and he butter al over him. When he would bite in and the corn would squirt him he would say, 'Oh, it's raining on me!'

Jayce got down and was doing pushups and Doran tried to copy. She did 26 pushups!

There are two blankets at the cabin that the boys love! They love to just snuggle up in them because they are so soft!

The Potty Present

So ever since Brock has been potty trained he has been saying he wants a puppy. When Seth first told me Brock wants a puppy I was so excited! I thought he meant a real puppy! Low and behold he wanted a build a bear puppy! So yesterday we finally took him to get his potty present! The kids had so much fun. Brock knew exactly which puppy he wanted and then Doran and Jayce did the rest.

Here is Jayce pushing the peddle to stuff him.

Doran loved doing the heart part. He did exactly as the guy instructed. First he rubbed it in his hands to warm it up and then he put it against his chest to start it beating. (He put it against his tummy when he told him to put it to his heart! It was so cute!)

After the heart was in and he was stitched up we went over and washed him. All the kids liked this part.

Then we picked him out a pair of boxer briefs because he is Brocky's big boy puppy. Then we paid and left with our new puppy.

Allergies

Poor Doran. Saturday evening his eyes started getting blood shot and they were itching him like crazy. When he woke up this morning they were so swollen and red and he was sneezing so hard. He has always sneezed when he has had allergies but he has never had his eyes like this. It was so sad!

Russian Dolls

My cousin Sammi got back from Russia last Wednesday. She was there for 5 months teaching English. She is the sweetest thing ever. She brought absolutely everyone a souvenier home, she had a whole bag filled with them. These are what she got us. The Giants one has a different player on each doll from the superbowl team a couple years ago! It is awesome! The other one is so cool. The detail that is painted on it is so amazing. It is a Russian fairytale and each doll has a different part of the story on it.

Summer days!

Last night was Eagle Mountains movie in the park. I was excited because it is such a fun idea. So we brought lots of blankets and treats and went to see Percy Jackson. When we got there it was pretty windy but I didn't think anything of it. We got there at about 8. At 9:30ish it still hadn't started and the guy said they were just waiting for the wind to stop. That is when we realized there was not going to be a movie in the park after all! So we left! It was still fun playing with the kids, eating snacks, and hanging out with a few friends though!

You can really see the wind in this picture.

I had to post a picture of Doran and Ali. Ali is my cousin Gaygay's little sister. He is a pretty shy little boy but he loves the ladies! He has two girlfriends now, Halle and Ali. At Granny and Poppy' sparty he ran up and kissed Ali on the lips and then ran off. I was so shocked that he did it because he is so shy! Well she came over to our house to visit the other day and Doran was very happy. He is a little stud!

And I just couldn't resist posting this picture of Seth and Kemp. They only rode around the corner together but still it was awesome!

Hatch Family Chocolates

The other day Seth, the boys, and I went up to Salt Lake to get Sammi from the airport. She is finally home from Russia! Yay! We drove up a little early because we wanted to stop at Hatch family chocolates. Seth and I love The Little Chocolatiers on tv. It is a show about Steve, Kate, and their chocolate shop. So we have been wanting to go up for awhile. (I wanted to try some of the chocolate covered cinnamon bears they show on the show all the time.) So we went in and there was Steve right there! He was so nice and pretty funny, he even let us take a picture with him! I hope their show comes back on tv soon!
