Tennis anyone?

At the beginning of summer, Chad and I decided we wanted find some outdoor hobbies to replace our current hobby of...TV watching... (I know it is horrible) in the evenings. Although it has been years, Chad and I both played tennis back in the day so it seemed like a fun idea. Halle was quickly equipped with a "Venus and Sarina" pink tennis racket and Cohen inherited Chad's racket ball racket. We have only played a handful of times, but we really have enjoyed it. The kids get so excited when we say we are going to play tennis and run quickly to get their rackets. They are naturals on the court...smile. As for Chad and I, we are slowly finding our old skills. If anyone is up for some doubles, give us a call:)

Happy 4th of July!

At the Park City parade

Oakley Rodeo!

Say Yehaa y'all! We went dressed in fashion to the Oakley Rodeo. Halle was the cutest cowgirl I have ever seen and Cohen was just a heart breaker... and very restless sitting in those bleachers. I must say the bull ridding was our favorite sport to watch but unfortunately the bulls won...Thanks Grandpa and Nona for treating us to a fun night!

Poker

a little red rock...

The whole fam spent last weekend down in St George. My parents rented a house in Coral Canyon, just outside of the city, which is beautiful and very peaceful. We spent a lot of time at the pool, played tennis, visited the sand dunes, played a lot of games, BBQs and mostly just watched our hyper kids go crazy over each other. Here is a peak... loved the way these pictures turned out (learning photoshop).

The biggest sand box ever...

Preschool graduation

Ms Joleen, Halle's preschool teacher

My little girl is all grown up and ready for Yale. She passed her first year of preschool with flying colors! The school put on a cute little program where they sang songs and highlighted each student a little bit. Apparently Halle would like to be a Princess when she grows up so I guess Yale is off the table...

Waiting for their turn to come to preschool...

We're dancing and singing...

My kids seem to have a love hate relationship (case and point, Halle recently tried to hang Cohen with a hanger). But sometimes they are the best of friends and nothing makes a mother more happy. Last week during a rain/hale thunderstorm they went outside and put on a little dance performance. I was so glad to have my camera! Here they are "dancing and singing in the rain..."
