Getting ready to go home

Colby and the boys deflating the air mattress. We hate to see the end of a fun vacation. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Scooter for a fun filled weekend at Bear Lake.

Boating

Colby had fun with his neices Elle and Averie, on "Super Mable". I honestly don't see how anyone dares to ride with him. He was constantly trying to dump them off.

Here is Wyatt taking his first nap of the whole vacation. He slept as long as the boat was moving, anytime it stopped he woke up.
Draker and Hayden watching Colby and the girls out on the tube.
Austin in his "girley" pink life jacket. You go Austi!


The boys got their love of the water from their mother. The best place to be on the lake is in the boat with a life jacket fastened securely around you in case you fall out. Hopefully one day they will love the water as much as their dad.

Bear Lake Fun!

I think if Hayden, Austin, and Wyatt had a choice in a place to live - this would be it. Bear Lake is a Sand Box Lover's heaven. They spent the day digging, eating (Wyatt-sand and Hayden and Austin-snacks), digging, eating, digging and eating. They couldn't get enough of it.

Colby and I couldn't get enough watching them have so much fun either. They only down side was having to change Wyatt's diapers the next few days (yuck!).

1st Camping Trip of the Year

And we're off! We spent the weekend in Bear Lake with the Goodliffe Family the 2nd weekend in July. I told Colby that it's a good thing that we only have 3 kids (we were packed tight). I think maybe we need to invest in a Thule.

The boys were so excited to go. They were prepared with goggles and all.

Taylor Cousin Swim Day

A few weeks ago all of the Taylor cousins met at Grandma's house and had a swim day. They all had so much fun and left exhausted.

Here's Wyatt playing it safe away from the water.

Hayden was constantly squirting his cousins with his squirt gun.

Austin also had fun with the squirt gun.

Thanks Grandma Casper for such a fun day!

4th of July fireworks

As you can tell our boys love the fireworks. Not! Well that is they hate the sound of fireworks. I think next year we need to remember our earplugs. Then, maybe they will relax a little bit. Wyatt didn't seem to mind though. He slept through the whole thing. It was so chilly that we all had jackets on and huddled under blankets.

We were thankful to return home safely around 2 am. Thanks Jeff and Erin for making it such a fun-unforgetable day.

4th of July dinner

We were lucky to be able to go swimming, because as soon as we got to Jeff and Erin's house, it started raining again. Only this time it was much worse. The hail was unreal. I don't think these pictures do it justice.

This is a picture of Jeff and Brian trying to grill outside under the umbrella. It didn't work.

Therefore, they moved the grill to the garage.

Here are the boys enjoying yummy ice cream sundaes in the nice dry house.

Then it was pinata time. This also had to be moved to the garage. Go Gracie!!!

Owen has quite the swing. We were all laughing so hard because he would hit the thing so hard that it would fly and then come back and hit him.

This will be a 4th of July that we will definitely not forget.
