Kali's gymnastics meet

Kali had her first gymnastics meet today and she did amazing!!! She took first in 2 of the events and second in the other 2. She has just amazed me with her talent in gymnastics. She had been taking for little over a year and is already in advanced tumbling. She loves it. We have always had such family support and I have always loved and appreciated that. We had my whole family and Dereks family there to show their love for Kali.

Boys 3rd birthday party

So I think by now everyone knows that the boys are obsessed with Thomas the train, and trains in general, so we decided to do a "thomas the train" birthday party this year. It was such a blast. We borrowed grandpa Downeys train and Derek spend the whole morning of the party making the thomas's face to go on the front....Which I think turned out amazing!! We just told all the kids in the neighborhood to come over and enjoy riding the train for the boys birthday. It was nuts, we ended up with almost 30 kids over. But they all had a blast and I figure the more the merrier.
The boys had such a blast and it was a total success!!

summer Fun

So I have been a terrible blogger this summer but here are a few updates. First off Potty training has been a handful and a little exhausting. This might recap our first week, we were all exhausted!! I still can't believe he fell asleep on the potty. :)
My kids love going out to see Grandma and Grandpa great. They have horses across the street and of course the infamous train that the kids love to ride on. This was on fathers day when we went to wish grandpa a happy fathers day.
Lexi learned out to ride without training wheels and her favorite thing to do is ride her bike around the neighborhood.
We have a neighborhood full of kids and the girls have had so much fun playing with friends. I think we have had kids at our house all summer long. Which I have to say I am ready for school to start so things will quiet down around here a little bit.
We took the kids to go feed the ducks down at BYU. The kids had so much fun!! A little bonus was the turtles, and Derek picked one up and the kids loved holding it. All in all we have had an amazing summer!!
