Alex did a fly over for the Nephi Ute Parade. We drove down and I had the oportunity to talk to him in the air on a radio and tell him when to fly over it was cool. We sat at the begining of the parade and the kids got loads of taffy. Alex landed and then rode in a truck in the parade. Bridger followed the truck for a ways and gave Alex some of his candy. It was fun to take them to the parade. We also were able to go to the rodeo that night. 
We went to Idaho for a visit, and ended up going to the Flumes. For those who don't know what a flume is, it's a giant tube that carries water over a road. None of the pictures I posted show how high it is, but it's high. You jump in and the water current takes you down the flume, and then you hurry out of the current and climb out of the canal. It's like a huge water slide but not as fast. The kids were nervous at first, but then loved it. The worst part is walking back over the skinny boards on top of the flume.
We were all suprised whe this little horse let the kids feed and pet him.
At our house these are called wormy noodles. So Rilynn wanted her dad to feed her the wormy noodles, just like a baby bird.
For the last day of annual training there was a family day. The kids had a great time on all the fun blow up toys.
Yes Bridger is the middle kid, not going up the stairs, but improvising his way to the top.
Maclain is awesome on the rock wall.
Bridger found a snake in our yard and Rilynn had fun watching it slither under the tramp.
Bridger did cry when we made him let it go, he wanted to keep it forever.
The kids found a toad in Grandma Smith's garden and had lots of fun playing with it. Bridger however wouldn't touch it. Go figure snakes but not toads?
Maclain was the keeper of the toad, he protected it from the other two who wanted to poke it to make it jump.
We recently finished our basement and we hired the best painters in town..... My parents and my sister came and helped me paint everyday, but all three kids helped too. Bridger was the funniest, he talked and talked the whole time things like I'm the best painter and I'm going to beat you grandma because I'm so fast maybe you should paint like me because I'm so good at this. on and on and on for hours he painted and talked.
Rilynn loves the peas Bridger planted, everytime she's in the backyard she is pickin peas.
This is a Sunday after church when they all went out to pick peas for dinner. We loved our peas.
