Summer Fun

Oh What do you do in the Summertime?

Well we mostly just play!  Here are some of my favorite summer moments.

McKay getting buried in the sandbox

Logan looking like a true little boy in his overalls

Making a river and a mud pit in the sandbox

Logan is CONSTANTLY on the four-wheeler...he is a little obsessed!

McKay loves bugs!  Well he loves to exterminate bugs- ants are his personal favorite but he takes quite pleasure in pulling Daddy LongLegs legs off too. 

Matt spends every spare moment working in the yard or garden

Out on the 4-wheeler

Playing at the park

Cheese

Grandpa Bill taking care of Logan

Don't smile McKay!  Playing at the park with Gma Margaret

Both boys got up and danced and sang on the White Stage at the Park

Logan doing what Logan does best- vroom-vroom!

I think Logan has a crush on this little fairy.  Everytime we go to Margaret's, he goes and sits by her on this rock and just smiles at her.  It is really sweet!

Wrestling together

Can you believe it?  They both looked and smiled at the same time!!  I am going to frame it!

While I was making lunch McKay was looking at his books.  Logan climbed in next to him and McKay started "reading" to Logan.  They both sat there and read for the longest time!  It was so cute!

We went camping for the weekend up Nephi Canyon.  In between chasing the boys and taking care of everything I didn't take a single picture but Matt took a couple- here's McKay's blue Gatorade mustache.

Anna and Kate chilling at our campsite

Logan playing the piano- he loves music and actually has a good beat.

McKay tried to join him but Logan pushed him off a second later- McKay was ruining his song I think.

Being silly together- although they are constantly at each other for taking each other's toy they are actually starting to play together pretty well.  It is fun to see.  I hope they are best friends.

Say cheese!

and there's my wild crazy man!

 

Happy Summer time!  Hope you are enjoying yours as much as we are!

Fourth of July

So I know I have at least a hundred pictures of my boys throwing rocks in the water but for some reason that is what we always end up doing when we go out (honestly even when we go to the mall, McKay's favorite thing is throwing a penny into the fountain- I think we might have an issue with throwing you think?).  So for the 4th of July we headed up Provo Canyon for the annual Rowley Lunch at the cabin.  On the way we stopped to see Bridal Veil Falls and - you guessed it- throw some rocks in the water!

 

I didn't take a single picture once we got to the cabin for the party though- oh well.  We had a lot of fun and love the tradition!  Happy 4th of July!

Happy Birthday Matt!

Well Matt hit the big 3-0 this year so we figured we better celebrate...

We started out with ice cream cake roll

and a few presents

then Logan and I took a great nap by the lake

and McKay and Daddy did a little fishing.  McKay caught a little trout.  He was so proud of his fish and keeps asking when we get to eat it!

Then we headed on a little hike to the grotto

Logan wanted to jump right in

and McKay basically did jump in!

 

Happy Birthday Matt!  We love you and had a great time celebrating the day with you!

Ragnar!

The Rowleys put together a team to run the Ragnar every year but I have never done it and decided this was the year to try it.  My legs weren't too difficult but running on little sleep over and over again is exhausting!  The run itself was fun and we had an awesome team but it was just bad timing- the race was a few days after we got back from Peru and my boys desperately needed their Mommy...  We had a blast though and now that I am recovered and had some good nights sleep I would definitely do it again!
