Horse Ride with Dad

Over the weekend Landon took the kids on an overnight horse ride. They went with his brother and his son Dawson. Well I guess I should say he took Chloe on a horse ride and Tanner on a long walk. Tanner is very uncomfortable riding the horses, but he still wanted to go so he choose to walk instead. Here they are at camp. Can't you tell they are happy to be there. They didn't take a tent they all slept under the stars. Landon said Chloe was so excited about this.

Here are the kids relaxing after a long ride/walk.

One of the reasons for this ride was to clear the trail so it was easier to ride up on the deer-hunt. Look at all these hard workers.

Headed back home-Chloe on Frosty. You can barely see her new pink boots that Daddy bought her.

Toad

My sister Mandy caught this huge toad in her yard. The kids were so excited to see it. Chloe even got up the nerve to catch it-after that she was wondering if she could keep it for a pet. Silly Girl! My mom told her and Saydee to kiss it to see if it would turn into a prince but there was no way they were going that far.

Water Slide

This week we went to the Washington City Rec Center on Tues., Wed., and Thurs. It was fun a bunch of our friends went everyday to so the kids had lots of other kids to play with. On Tuesday I took Chloe and Brydee down the big water slide-or actually I went down and caught them at the bottom. After a couple time of that they decided they didn't need my help anymore and told me so.

Here they come out the bottom...

What Brave and Silly Girls. They did it by themselves that day about 50 times. Chloe's legs were so tired that night from climbing up the stairs so many times to go down that she was just crying for most of the night. However, good nights sleep was all it took and she was ready to go the next day.

Gentry Family Reunion

The annual Gentry Family Reunion was last weekend. It was actually pretty fun (Gasp!) if not a little but redneck. You might be a redneck if someone in the family brings a port a potty on a trailer to your Family Reunion-LOL! The kids had a blast swimming in this little pond right next to the campsite. They were even able to talk Grandma Tawnia into jumping in with them one morning.

Can't you tell she is just full of it in this picture...

It's nice to have a big brother to look up to even when he's a big tease.

We had fun and will plan on going again next year. We had to leave early but my mom said one night they did Karaoke and my Dad even sang-now that I would have liked to have seen!

Swimming, Swimming, Swimming

What else is there to do in St. George in the summer besides swim. With the weather being well over 100 most days now, we spend most of our time in the water.

On Tuesday we went to the Sandhallow Aquatic Center with Tyler and Sam the kids had so much fun playing on the lily pads, doing flips off the diving board, and going down the slide.

We are so lucky to have the Davey's as friends, and not just because they have a pool-they are great people, however during the summer it sure is nice because we get to go down to there house and swim alsmost every day. It is so fun-hopefully they don't get sick of us.

4th of July; Tetherball and More

The kids spent all of last week in Ogden at their cousin Kylie's house. They were able to see and play with there other cousins alot while they were up there as well so they had lots and lots of fun. Here are the three amigos Chloe, Tanner, and Kylie.On Saturday Landon's sister met us in Fillmore with the kids-just in time for the fireworks...

Grandpa and Grandma got a new tetherball set and the kids LOVE playing tetherball now. In fact Kylie and Tanner had to get in a quick game on Sunday morning before they could get ready for church.

The kids have played so hard for the past week that this is the picture on our way home today. They both zonked out in a matter of minutes.
