More August

The kids and I met my mom out at Steadman's. The all thought the huge slip n' slides were amazing! They had so much fun while we were there! 

Tays even loved going down the slides!

The kids took swimming lessons. They all did so great! Mason was the only kid in his class! The teacher and Mason had so much fun! Mason went off the diving board at least 4 four times every day!  

I don't know why Sam wasn't in this picture with her teacher. Oh well. The boys loved their teachers and they learned a lot. They each passed their classes and will advance next year to the next level!

My niece and nephew came up from Utah to visit. We had fun showing them the local sights and enjoying the nice weather! We walked out to the middle of the bridge and watched some base jumpers. McKay loved it, but Jessica was not a fan of the shaky bridge!

We took them to Shoshone Falls and then we went swimming at Dierkes Lake. The kids all had a blast!!

Another day we went to Nat Soo Pah. We were there all day and Mason, poor kid, got the worst sunburn out of all of us. 

The kids were out! We had to drive around Twin for awhile since we were meeting friends in town for dinner. It was good to have them sleep for awhile!

We had a bittersweet dinner with our friends. 

Mason's sunburn started to really bother him. Poor guy. 

Taysom's favorite face. When he makes this face he makes the cutest "oooo" sound. 

My BFF's! We all have Tay's

My Taysom, Missy with her Tate and Alayna with her Tayla.

I wish Candria and her Taybri would have been there. 

All the kids. 

After dinner we went to see Planes and Monsters University. The kids were so tuckered out!

Some random Salt Lake pictures that I forgot to post.

Most of the Hixson grandkids. 

Taysom has started walking!! He still just walks a few steps at a time. The most being 6 or 7 steps at a time, but he is getting better and better every day!!

We were invited to go boating with my cousin, Susan, for her birthday!

Drew wanted to go knee boarding and we kept telling him he was too little. Finally, we decided just to let him try. You know, to let reality kill the dream. Boy, were we wrong! He got right up on his board and went for quite a while! I have a video of him doing it, I'll have to post it! He did so great!

Drew, Susan and Sammie

We told Sam to stay on her bum in the boat, so she wouldn't fall out and Mason held her arm, just to be sure she was safe. It was so cute!

The kids loved being on the boat as much as they did being out on the tube!

Tays so badly wanted to drive the boat!

Enjoying the boat ride and resting from all the fun!

Susan the birthday girl with Taysom!
