Park City

For the 24th of July

Judd's Family decided to make a

fun day trip to Park City.

We had a yummy lunch and then

headed up to the Alpine Slides

Judd, Redd, Katie, Sean, Joni and Jon Redd LOVED the Alpine Slide. I'm pretty sure the entire time we were on our way down he cheered! He kept saying "Mommy, we go fast!" Jon Sean

Redd was too little to go down

the Alpine Coaster, so we

stayed behind and cheered for

everyone else as they came down the mountain.

JuddJoni

Bonnie We ended the day with a shopping

trip to the outlet mall.

Lucky for us, on the way home

Redd had one of the biggest

blow-outs of his life!

We had to stop at Judd's office

and clean him up...Nasty!

Big Boy Bed

We finally got Redd a Big Boy Bed!!

(We won't talk about the fact that he

slept on his mattress on the floor

for a few months because his

crib was recalled! Or that most

nights he ended up just sleeping in our bed)

He was SO not excited to get his new bed.

During prayer, he just screamed and cried

most of the time. Then we read a story

& turned on some primary songs.

He really wanted to keep the book we read,

but I didn't want it ruined, so he settled

for the "puppy" book.

And fell asleep holding it!

(notice the pink pillow... oops I forgot to get him one)

This is how I found him in the morning! He is the craziest sleeper! I am just waiting for the day he falls off the bed. So far, 2 nights & no Redd in my bed! Yahoo!

Willard Bay

My Mom and Dad invited Redd

and I to go boating out at Willard.

Redd loved swimming with Grandpa Berkley, Cord, Redd, Grandpa, Chloe Cooper, Brad

Riding the tube with Cooper and Chloe

Redd loved it!

Island Park

For the Costley Family reunion,

we went to Island Park.

We have gone to Yellowstone every year

as a family & my mom always buys all

the grandkids a new shirt.

This year, there wasn't a matching one

small enough for Redd.

But lucky for him, Tami had one

that Jadon got when he was little

so Redd got a new slightly used shirt & a new sweatshirt.

Cooper, Jax, Redd & Griffin in their Yellowstone shirts!

Redd and Joss (cousin Colby's little girl) My Aunt Sheryl planned some fun games for each night. The first night we played Minute to Win It Deb: Bite Me (Bite the bags and move them to the table, you can't use hands or kneel on the ground)

Judd: Bite Me

Berkley: Junk in the Trunk (Shake it till you get all the

ping-pong balls out of the tissue box

strapped to your booty)

Angie: Cantagious

(Move 3 empty cans and 3 full cans

to opposite hands, moving only one at a time)

Nick: Cantagious

Me: Elephant March

(Knock down all the water bottles

using the nylon with a ball in the end

hanging from your head) *Notice the cute jacket I scored

for $11 in West Yellowstone

Colby: Elephant March

Tami: Face the Cookie

(Move the cookie from your forehead

to your mouth, using only your face muscles)

Griffin: On the Nose

(With Vaseline on your nose,

move cottonball into a bowl)

Brad: On the Nose There were lots more, but I didn't get pictures

of all of them! It was super fun & of course, our team won!

The next night Sheryl had a game called

Human Slingshot

Funniest thing ever, you are in a giant

spandex rubber band & your goal is to

run back and forth with your partner

so that you slingshot the other two people

across the band.

Let's just say I went down a few times!

That night, we watched the West Yellowstone Firework's Show.

Oh my Goodness! That was the longest fireworks

that any of us have ever witnessed.

I'm quite sure that there were at least

eight different times we thought were the finale.

Watching "Monsters Inc" in my tent

(funny how all of their trailers are bigger

than my little tent, yet they all gathered there)

We were on this trip over the fourth of July,

so we went to the local festivites.

It was pretty lame..

But we got to see my uncle's car

in a car show & Jadon ride the

mechnical Bull!

June

Since I have been a bit of a slacker lately when it comes to blogging, here are some of the fun things we did this June… Friend BBQ

Kid’s Table Tripp, Stone, Krew, Redd, LilyStone & Lily

Rob managed to line up all the kids for a race…

Redd was usually one of the slowest, but he did manage to take at least one kid out during each race.

After dinner, we played an awesome game of Kickball! It was tons of fun, even though every time I got up to kick, my husband’s team chanted “Easy Out!”

Swimming Once a week, we go swimming at my Aunt’s house. The first time Redd was a wimp & refused to even try his floaties. But since then, he has been a little water dog & never even wants to get out of the pool. He likes to jump off the side of the pool & go down the big slide! When we do manage to get Redd out of the pool, Nona has a yard full of fun toys for the kids to play on! 5th Anniversary Judd and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year! We went to the Salt Lake Temple and out for a lunch date! We are planning a special trip for later this year, so we decided to keep the celebrating simple until then! Redd was lucky enough to have aunt Tami watch him while we were gone! He absolutely loves spending time with the Parker Boys! Bridger Lake I kept forgetting to bust out my camera on this trip.. (I know Deb has a few good ones) So I’ll just give you the highlights... *Redd deciding that the first day was a great day to start potty training! *Fishing *Judd hooking my dad’s arm while fishing. *Redd peeing on Grandma & Mom *Redd deciding that day two was the end of Potty Training *Redd watching Ninja Turtles with the cousins *Redd screaming hysterically all night because he was scared of the “Turtles” *Judd sleeping with Redd in the freezing car all night so the rest of camp didn’t have to stay awake because of Redd! *Going home at last! Crazy Hair Rhino, Spike, & Eddie Munster Coke-Coke

Redd thinks that any soda pop is “Coke-Coke” & anytime we go out he has to have his own Sprite “Coke-Coke”

Cucka Nut

Who’s kid is that?

Granny's House

We spend an average of 2-3 days a week here!

Memorial Park

Over Memorial Weekend

we went camping at Memorial Park.

Being the super photographer I am,

I didn't take any pictures

until the last day.

A few highlights:

*Judd & I took 2nd in

the horseshoe tournament

*The kids caught a ground squirrel

with a cheese puff & glass bowl

*Redd didn't throw up once!

*Racoons visited us again this year.

This time they got away with

our Capri Suns

*The Kids went fishing at Red Rock Cafe

This little pond was perfect.

All the kids had to do was cast

& they caught a fish!

All the kids, except Redd.

It took him the longest to catch

a fish, we even had to move around

the pond a few times!

Brian & Dallin Nick, Jax, & Jadon

FISH ON!

Love that picture!

Feeding the fish

CHEESE

We always have such a great

time on this trip. It's such a great

way to kick off summer!

Redd's Birthday

Redd had a Football party this year.

We invited all his cousins, aunts, uncles,

and grandparents.

Jadon, Dallin, Ava, Tayah

Jax, Griffin, Brad Chloe, Redd, Ava & Tayah Jon, Bailee, Andria, Bart Jackie, Duane, Joni Getting ready for the Balloon Pop game. Round 1: Big Kids & Redd Round 2: Little Kids & ReddNone of the kids even tried to pop Redd's balloon.

When it finally popped on the grass.

He cried and went to Granny for a love. Then we played our football version

of "Pin the Tail on the Donkey."

The kids had to try to

"Kick a Field Goal"

with their little footballs.

Present Time!Football Pinata!

Redd needed a few helpers

to blow out his candles this year!

Riding his cool new Bike!

On his birthday Judd and I

gave him our present..

a train!

He also had a package waiting

for him in the mail from

his cousins in California. After singing "Happy Birthday"

he decided to sing

his own version to himself..

"Aber Cupcake, Aber Cupcake"

This time he had no problem

blowing out his candle!

Happy Birthday Reddy Bear!
