Catch-Up May-July

So we have been pretty busy lately. It seems like when summer hits, we just end up being busy all the time! I feel like lately we really haven't made big plans, but we end up finding things to do. Back in May, I went to visit my sister in California with my Mom and little brother. I don't think I feel like making that drive again anytime soon. We were there for almost two weeks so I'm sure she was glad when it was time for us to go. We had a blast and Keagan still asks where Marky and Kevin are and when we are going to their house! It was really fun for Keagan because now all of the boys are old enough to play together. One of the things we did, and the only time I took pictures, was when we went to the beach on our last day in California. Keagan LOVED it. The water was freezing, but he didn't care. All he wanted to do was fill his bucket up with water over and over. On our way to my sister's house, we stopped midway at Matt's aunts house to layover. She lives up on the mountain in Leeds, near St. George. She told us a couple of times about these wild turkeys that come in her back yard. Apparently the Tom has like five females that follow him around. He is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. He stood at the glass door and opened up his feathers, which are half broken, and stared at himself! It was a hoot, and Chloe went crazy and wanted to eat them!

Since this year the 4th of July fell on a Sunday, and we live in Utah, we got to celebrate it on Saturday and Monday! On Saturday we went to the mini carnival and fireworks show in Kaysville. I wasn't too impressed. Then, on Monday we went to the parade in Layton and had a BBQ with Matt's family and friend Ben. We opted out of watching fireworks in Layton like we usually do because everyone had to go to work the next day. Well that is pretty much what we have been up to lately and with Keagan's birthday and Cole's wedding coming up, I'm sure I'll have more to post soon!
