Tibble Fork Lake

On Sunday Nama and Papa took us rafting on Tibble Fork Lake. Madi, Zach and Ryn loved chasing the ducks around on the lake. I thought Ryn was going to launch herself off the raft to swim with the ducks. She kept asking me where the ducks raft was . . . seriously how do you explain that to a 2 year old! Anyways, after rafting we went and found a shaded picnic area and let the kids throw rocks into in the stream. It was a great way to spend a relaxing Sunday. Thanks Nama and Papa!

Ryn with her cousins Madi and Zach. F.Y.I little dude in the red isnt mine, but he's cute as shit so I'll claim him :)

We ended the night with fireworks at Aunt Jens! Ryn loves to be with her cousins. Ryn wasnt guite sure about the sparklers and screamers! WHen fireworks were over daddy took all of us on a 4 wheeler ride :)

Little Ryn is showing off her HUGE muscles!!

24th of July

We had great afternoon swimming at Grandma V's

Draper Days!

Bama and Mommy had a booth down at Draper days, so daddy took me me say hi. While I was there mommy and daddy took me on a pony ride, not just once but 5 times! Then I made daddy scream when I touched the snakes. I also got to meet a desert turtle that was bigger then me. My most favorite event was when I was brave enough to go on the "animal train "! I loved it. Mommy held my hand and ran beside me the whole way. Before the day was over I had time to shake my bum to live misc!

YEAH for Ryn!!

So I have to tell you. . . . Ryn is potty trained! Going pee pee in the potty was no big deal for her. As long as I would do the potty dance afterwards! She got a big kick out of that. Now poopy on the other hand was not so easy. We would constantly ask her though out the day if she was ready to poopy on the potty. She would scream "I don't have to" as she was running away to hide! Finally we told her that when she was ready to be a big girl we would take her to target and let her pick out a NEW bike! A few days later she tapped me on my leg and said "I need to poopy". I plopped her on the potty and away she went. We were both jumping and dancing for joy. Before I could even pull her pants up she was ready to go get her bike! That night mommy and daddy took her to get her NEW bike! As we were walking and she was riding to the check stand she was insisting that everyone look at her new "Poopy Bike"! It was one of our funnest target adventures yet!

Happy 4th of July

The Monty's LOVE 4th of July! Our day of activities start bright and early at 8:00, yes 8:00 am! We cheer on the Murray Parade. Grandma V is the bomb and shows up with a cooler of hot breakfast burritos and ice cold juice. We all sit along curb side and watch the decorated cars, bikes and animals trot by. Ryn, not surprisingly is more interested in the animals that are in the parade then all the yummy candy and treats that are constantly being launched at us! After the parade we then venture over to Grandma V's for an afternoon of eating and swimming. The kids have a blast. Around five, Grandma Guy or Pom pa (according to Ryn) fires up the grill. The grill now becomes the main hang out for the Monty boys! We all over eat and lay around sick for the next hour or so before we go to fireworks! Ah the fireworks, the day is coming to an end! We go to Jordan High School to watch fireworks, it really is the perfect spot. Ryn and Pom pa walked over to the "man" again, according to Ryn, but formally known as the ice cream man and bought some ice cream. Grandma Lane then let her rip into her sack of flags, star headbands and glow in the dark sticks . . The fireworks were awesome. Ryn fell asleep before we even drove out of the parking lots. I think we would all agree that it was a good day!!
