Cam Bam's mission call

My cute little brother got his mission call!! He is going to the Cleveland, Ohio mission! When he got his call he waited till the evening so that almost all of us could be there. Grandma Glenda, Grandpa Laycock, Mom, Dad, Myself and the kids were there. Plus, a TON of Cams friends came. It is so good to see all his buddies support each other. I had Just and Kalyn on skype as well so that they could see and hear everything! Morgy couldn't make it cause of cheer, but we texted her. We are all SO proud of Cam and know he is going to make an amazing missionary!

Flag Football

Land Man is playing flag football this year. He is loving it and really getting into it. It is so fun to see him develop each game and get better and better and really dig into the game. Land thinks he is so intimidating on the line... LOL! He lines up and then starts doing these ninja like moves to the guy he's lined up against on the other team, occasionally they do it back. It's hilarious! Land is also that kid who's doing a celebration dance after every touch down. He's quite the kid...

 Land did an awesome kick-off.

This pic was right before Land got the flag off the guy carrying the ball, it was quite the play!

Family Party at the Splash Park

The Garrett side of the family had a party to celebrate the birthdays in August. We had it at a splash park in Alpine. The kids had a blast playing together both in and out of the water. We played a good game of volleyball with some of Bretts cousins, and had yummy food. It was really fun! Here's a few pics:

GO UTES!!

With the Utah Football season just around the corner, we thought we would kick it off by going to Ute Fest. Here are a few pics...

 Sky with the cheerleaders.

 Landon got his jersey signed by some of the football players.

GO UTES!

My Big Kindergartener...

My sweet little boy started Kindergarten this week! I don't feel old enough to have a kindergartener! He was so excited to start! Here is the handsome little guy all ready for his first day...

He got home and couldn't stop talking about all the new friends he made, that he gets to have recess, and how great his new teacher is.  I think this is going to be so good for him and I can't wait for all the things that a new school year brings!

Summer's coming to an end!!

With summer coming to and end I just wanted to post a few pics of our summer highlights...

Skylee Bug in her cute shades...

Sky, Brett and I at the Strawberry Days Rodeo...

Brett took an adventure with his Dad, Brother and the Scouts in Moab...

We took a family adventure to Bridal Veil Falls...

Land Man lost his first tooth...

And another family adventure to Silver Lake Flats. It was a really fun filled summer and we are sad to see it come to an end. But, we are really excited for all the fun things fall brings!

Dinosaur Museum

 We decided to take the kids to the dinosaur museum the other day. Since a lot of other kids had started school already, we were hoping it wouldn't be as busy. We were wrong...

 Regaurdless, we had a blast. Landon loves dinosaurs. Sky slept through most of it, which by me was perfect. We saw all the dinosaurs, played in the sand and pretended to dig up dino bones. After we even went and saw a movie about T-rex in 3-D on the IMAX screeen. It was cool. Turned out to be a pretty fun day.

First tooth lost!!

My sweet baby boy lost his first tooth! So we were at my parents house the other day and Landon came out of the bathroom and said he had a wiggley tooth. So, Brett felt it and sure enough it was pretty loose. My tough little boy then proceeded to ask my dad if he had some string to pull out his tooth. I thought the sweet little guy would just have a hole in his smile for a while but, as my dad was putting the dental floss around the tooth to pull it, we noticed the other tooth was already coming in!! HE JUST TURNED 5, for crying out loud! Isn't this a little early?? Anyway Landon put his shiny, cavity free tooth under his pillow that night and the tooth fairy brought him 2 whole dollars! Landon was pretty excited! What did he do with his 2 dollars?? Check this little guy out...

Yes, we have Captain America living in our house, protecting Skylee and I from all the bad guys when Brett is gone! :)

Skylee's 4 month stats:
Height: 23 3/4"-28%
Weight: 12lbs 13oz-29%
Head Circum: 15 3/4"-21%
So basically she is still my little peanut! She has started rolling over, smiling alot and laughing (esprcially at Landon) She just started eating oatmeal and carrots and loves them both! She just recently went on her first camping trip, which included a four wheeler ride, and was such a champ! Sky has been sleeping through the night since she was 2 months. She is an angel!  We love her and are so happy she is part of our family!

Pics of the Kiddos

I got pics taken of the kids a while back, so I thought I'd share a few...

 Skylee Marie 3 months.

 Landon Rex 5 years old

 This one is my very favorite.

LOVE these two, LOVE being a mom!

Steel Days

Steel Days was alot of fun this year! Grandma Laurie gave Landon some carnival tickets, so Thursday we headed to the carnival. Landon and Brett went on the farris wheel first, then Land went on this fun little roller coaster...

Then this fun little obstacle course,

next, the big slide,

 the jeeps, which Land loved and thought he was pretty hot stuff in, as you can tell from this pic.

then, we went on a few more rides and it started to down pour! Seriously, I didn't even have a blanket for Sky! So Skylee and I stood under this big umbrella at one of the game stands while Brett and Land went to get the car. By the time we got in the car it looked like we went through the shower with our clothes on! We were drenched! Brett and I did not think it was that amusing, but Land splished and splashed and giggled...He loved it! Sky ended up being the only one dry because Brett found her a blanket in the car!

I worked Thurs and Fri. Then on Sat morn when I got off work, Land woke up and ran the kids race! He did SO good and even got a medal! He kept telling me that he wanted to do it again! Morg also ran, but she ran the 5K. She took 3rd and got an awesome trophy!

Then off to the parade we went, where we were lucky enough to see both of Bretts little brothers and Grandpa Steve participating in! Then I went home and crashed I was so tired from working the night before. Next, after a refreshing nap, we got ready and went to Grandma Glendas annual firework party! Landon loved seeing all the cousins and playing with them! Skylee loved hanging out with Grandma Sharon, as you can tell from this pic!

Grandma Glenda with almost all of the great-grandkids!

Haley made her fabulous balloon objects, which are always a hit as you can tell by Land in this pic! I love Steel Days, just to get to see the whole fam! Good memories!
