fishing and a parade

Bucket List Week 10 was to go fishing.  We didn't know where to go but our neighbor had had some luck on Utah Lake so we ended up going there.  Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything.  That's okay, we still managed to have a great time!
 
Brynn wasted no time in getting her pants soaking wet.  She had to be in just a diaper the rest of the night.
Stockton got bored and wanted to throw rocks in the water.  We walked down the shore so we wouldn't scare the fishies away from those who were fishing.
The sunset was really pretty.
Once the sun set, though, we had to get out of there fast!  Those gnats are nasty!!

Justin's branch was invited to be in the Heber City Parade the following Saturday evening.  He wanted the kids to walk in it so naturally I ended up going with them as well.  America First had their giveaway car that Justin had to drive home the night before.  The kids thought daddy was getting a new car and they were so excited!  Stockton insisted on riding in the car for the parade, even though he was all by himself in there with a complete stranger behind the wheel.
Molly was so excited to throw the goodies to the people watching the parade.  I'm sure she felt so grown up.
Brynn just chillin' in the wagon.
Justin has two tellers that can ride unicycles and with him riding his, they had 3 unicyclists in the parade.  I don't think anyone else can boast that much talent at one small branch!
Toward the end of the parade, I even got up on his shoulders.  It had been a long time since we had tried this little trick of ours but we were still able to pull if off.
 
We first did that trick 13 years ago!  It's good to know we're not too old!

    LOTS of fun at your house this summer! I love the last two pictures of you and Justin. So good to have moments that make you feel young again. No, good to have moments that remind you that you ARE young still. :-) You should frame the picture of you doing it 13 years ago next to this new one. You have such a fun family!

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads.   This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
