Day 343, Ali's Baby Blessing.



Cute little baby Ali got blessed today. She is so cute! I'm so happy to have her in the family! I can already tell that she is going to bring so much joy to us.

All our family on this wonderful day!

(Aaron was home with his dad, but we wish he was here)

Cameron is one of the best examples to Ali, and the best big brother ever!

They are so cute together!

Scott did such a great job giving the blessing, and he is such a great example to our family.

Ali and Sara, don't they look alike?

Also, my mom made Ali's dress, I think it was so beautiful!

Day 342, Boondocks for Cameron's Birthday!



Even though Cameron's Birthday isn't until next week, and same with his actual Birthday party..we still came to Boondocks tonight as a practice party.. I guess you can say. Cameron loves Boondocks, and today we actually got to do the bumper boats, and the other outdoor stuff... as well as the games inside.


Cameron's favorite of the night was the bumper boats. He loved them, and got so wet! Just look at his face as he go off! So happy!


This was my favorite!


This is me.. trying to look cool...



Cameron loved the Go carts as well.


Cameron even got to try some bowling.

Just wait until his actual Birthday party! It's going to be AWESOME!!

Day 341, It's almost August?



Whoaa... Wait?.. It's almost August? What the crap... I started my 365 day challenge last August, and now.. it's almost over? Where does the time go? I can't believe its almost been a year. I hope you enjoy the last few days of my blog!

Day 340, Dinner at Red Robbin.



Sara's mom Monica flew in from Michigan this week for Cameron's Birthday. So the family went to the restaurant Red Robbin tonight to eat and to catch up. It's always so much fun when Monica comes, she is so fun to be around. I don't know why we went to Red Robbin to be honest.. because I think it's some what gross. But I got the Chili burger tonight, and it wasn't that bad. This weekend is going to be way fun, because we have Ali's baby blessing, and also Cameron's Birthday party.. Plus Monica is here! haha...

Cameron got a surprise at the restaurant for his Birthday. ICE CREAM!

He was so excited that all that Ice Cream was all his!

Lets just say, he loved every minute of it!

Day 339, Wish lanterns...



So, if you've seen my post from before... well awhile ago. You know that I've been trying to make my own small hot air balloon kind of a thing. Just like in the movie Tangled. Well, you also may know that every time I've tried to make my own, I've failed! And it makes me so mad! But, I've learned about this new website. It's called... wishlanterns.com... You go on this website, and order lanterns for a spacial event, or just for fun.  So my plan is to just start ordering them, and no more making them. I hope to get some for New Years!

Day 338, Sushi?



I don't know what it is, but I've noticed that Sushi has become more popular... well with my age group at least. I remember students would go to the store during lunch and get some sushi. Now I've never tried it, and I'm not the biggest fish fan... but, I'm willing to try it. I want to know what everyone is so excited about. Can it really be that good? I mean...... isn't it raw fish?? GROSS!! I think you can buy some that isn't raw fish.. maybe I will try that. But raw fish just doesn't sit well with me. Sushi is just one of the things to try thats on my bucket list....

Day 337, The Winnie the Pooh movie with Lauren and Aaron.



They have been building a new mall area in Farmington, and the new movie theater just opened! So My mom, and I met Alesia and the kids down there today to see the new Winnie the Pooh movie. It was  a really cool movie theater, and it's really nice inside! The best part of it, is that there is a PHOTO BOOTH! I love Photo booths, I want one for Christmas! HAHA..

The kids loved the movie! Although it was my second time seeing it, I still enjoyed it... after all, it's Winnie the Pooh!

Day 336, Eatin' some Smores on the 24th of July!



What is better than a couple of Smores as the sun sets on the 24th of July?... It doesn't get much better than that.

After Sunday dinner tonight, the family made some nice warm... gooey... smores. They were so so good, as always! It was a great way to end the holiday weekend.

I love our fire pit on our porch... (even though we don't use it as much as I'd want to)...  It's like we are camping in our front yard. Now how many people can do that... huhh? 

Pop loves smores... It's pretty much one of the few foods he actually enjoys to eat. Just look at that face...

Day 335, Paintballing.... again.

Yet again, I went paintballing with Sarah, her sister, and some other friends. I actually got shot this time.... and I must say... it didn't hurt like I thought it would. I got shot about 5 times, and I shot 4-5 people. I was so happy that I got 4-5 people out!! We used sling-shots like we did before... but they say that next time they want to use real paintball guns... I don't know about that. HAHA... But it was super fun, and I can't wait to do it again!

Day 334, The 24th of July parade.



Since the 24th of July is on a Sunday this year, the parade is on Friday. I stayed out all night with my friend Alec to save our spot for the parade. It was so much fun! We pulled an all nighter, and the place we got was great!

Cameron and I had a blast at the parade, and Cameron got some prizes also!

GO VIEWMONT!!

Pop and Cameron watching the parade.

I love how Utah's birthday (The 24th of July) is in July, because it make it feel like the 4th of July is still going on.. we are celebrating with fireworks and parades all through July! I love Utah, and I'm so grateful to live in a place such as this.

This is the place!

After the parade, then we went up to our traditional spot to watch the fireworks. We watch them at this small park on Davis blvd. It's a Talbot family tradition, I think about it every time I drive by the place, and it brings back so much memories!

Happy Birthday UTAH!!

Day 333, The big beach ball!

Have you ever heard of these huge beach balls that you hook up to the hose, and it sprays water? Well Sara got one, and Cameron came over to play with it today. It's actually pretty cool.

Cameron at first didn't really like the ball. I think he just doesn't like to be sprayed in the face with water... but who does? But after awhile, he got use to it, and started kicking it around the yard. The ball was bigger than he is.. HAHA... so funny to watch him try and kick it around, and then run away before the water sprays him.

I think we are just going to use it as a sprinkler for the yard from now on....

Day 332, Rope swing with Alec and Chase!

Today, Alec, Chase and I went down to Farmington pond to swing on the rope swing. I brought the dogs with us. I've never really had any interest in the rope swing until now. It's so much fun, and I can't believe it's taken us this long to go to the swing this summer. But I think it's going to be one of our favorite past time from here on out. It's so much fun!

Chase kinda forgot to let go....

Grace LOVES to swim! Jenna likes to swim also, but Grace just loves it! She is constantly happy when she is swimming! I guess it's the Lab coming out of her!

Aren't they so cute! I love my pups!

Lets see how many times we go to the rope swing this summer! I'm sure we will be back later this week!

Day 331, Castle Park!



On Studio 5 the other day they showed all these cool parks in Utah, and one of them is the Castle Park. we went to the Castle park because it was just a few miles from our house in Kaysville. It was the coolest park I have ever seen! I mean look at the picture of it... it looks like a real castle.... right? I can't believe I've never heard or been to this park! IT'S AWESOME!!

Of course Cameron loved it, and couldn't stop playing! He would go to one slide to the next.

Yeah.... I can spell.

Taking a break.

I wish I knew about this park when I was a kid, because I most likely would have been here everyday!

Such a cool park.

Day 330, Swimming in Park City.



Tonight, Sara, Cameron and I were invited to go swim up at a condo that Rachel's (Scott and Sara's friend) family rented for the week. The condo was up in Park City. It was way cool, and the condo was so nice, I was jealous.

I wanted to play some Volleyball.

Playing sharks...

This is Jon, (Rachel's husband) and Cameron.. Cameron got a little scared while swimming with Jon.

And this is why... HAHHA.. Jon would do little "tricks" with Cameron... and Cameron was kinda scared, but he was just fine.

Silly Jon.

I love to swim with my buddy Cameron! He is so much fun!
