Family Night at Lagoon

It was stake Lagoon Day last Thursday and, because most of us are in the same stake, it was kinda like family Lagoon Day (sierra and mike came to0 because they just can't get enough of us :) and we love having them around). Brinlee loved the rides and Raigen liked most of them (she's not really the roller coaster type...she gets that from her daddy:) Hallie absolutely hated every ride except the train and Taylor was just fine to sit in her stroller and see all the pretty lights (she did go on the merry-go-round with cass). It's so fun being so close to our family. We love doing stuff together and the girls love their aunts and uncles so much. I don't know if I could ever move away. Anyway, here's some pics...

Everyone in line waiting for the merry-go-round...

Cass and Ms. Taylor...Daddy, Brinlee, and Rai Rai on the chicken...

Next was Musik Express...

Raigen was barely 36 inches tall (thanks to her ponytail :). She liked it, but you can see that unsure look in her eyes...

Waiting in line for the train...

Si Si and Brin...

Aunt Janae and Raigen...Kyle and Hal (they're singing 5 little monkeys swingin' in a tree...)Teasin' Mr. Alligator can't catch me...Along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be and snap that monkey right outta that tree!

On the train... Kyle and Hallie...Sugar and Cheyenne...Kenna and T...Janae, Cass, and Raigen...Mike and Brin (I don't think we ever got mike to look at the camera :)

It was so much fun and FREE! Can't wait until next year!

A fun couple of weeks...

We had a busy, but fun last couple of weeks....here's a few of the fun things we did...

Movies in the park (we saw Madagascar at the Clinton park and The Tale of Despereaux at the Ogden Amphitheater) ...

Fireworks...

Girls night out at Kenna's house. Kenna planned lots of fun activities. We made watches and aprons, ate macaroni and cheese and rice krispy treats, and stayed up until 4 in the morning.

Raigen, Brinlee, and Kennedi sporting their new aprons...

Extensions (janae's friend let her borrow her hair extensions so she let everyone try them out). It was really weird to see Janae with long hair because her hair just won't grow long. Doesn't she look georgeous! Brinlee and Rai Rai looked really cute too. Oh, and don't forget Chief :)

Kyle's family reunion...it's funny that we all live so close to each other, but only see everyone a few times a year. The kids are all getting so big and CUTE!

Jackson and Madison...

JaQuoy and Brinlee...

Rai Rai (she loves to eat)...

Brenda and Taylor...

A night out in Salt Lake at the Marriot hotel while kyle was at scout camp. We played in the pool, watched Disney, and rode Trax...

Brinlee can officially swim by herself (with a life jacket). She's like a little fish...

Funny faces (Cassidy, Cheyenne, Kenna, Trevin, Brinlee, Janae, and Raigen)

I don't know why Hallie hates the pool, but she does. She loves the bath and the little pool in the back yard, but she definitely did not like this big one...

Hallie was much happier to sit at the edge of the pool, hold Taylor, and watch everyone else swim.
Rodeo... The girls love horses. This is at the days of '47 rodeo in Ogden on the 24th of July. It was really fun, but a little too long for a 3, 2, 1, and 7 week old if you know what I mean. Nate,

Joni, Kens, and Cass went too. We love hangin' out with family...

This leash was a life saver because we couldn't take a stroller...

The Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house...Trav, Sugar, and Chief were so sweet to take Raigen and Brinlee with them to the open house and to see Grandpa Canova.

4th of July

We hope everyone had an enjoyable 4th of July. We started the day out at the Kaysville Parade with all of Kyle's Family and my mom and dad and Cass. It was such a nice day for a parade. Lots of clouds, but no rain. Then we went to Grandma Jean and Papa's house for a BBQ. The kids played in some blow up pools and a slip-n-slide. The had a lot of fun. Then we went to the fireworks with my family, Dave and Annie, and Papa. Kaysville set up a bunch of inflatable toys and they were all FREE! Brinlee and Kennedi loved it (we talked Kyle, Nate, and Cass into going a few times too). The fireworks, like always, were awesome! It was a good day!

Emma and Taylor...she loves babies!

Brinlee, JaQuoy, and Amelia...
Raigen, Kenzie, and Marci...

Hallie, Brin, and Rai Rai in the car on the way to the parade (Raigen's eyes look weird, oh well)...

Cass and Taylor...Mason and Quentin...Me and Kyle (bad picture), but Kyle thought we needed a picture together on the 4th...Flag toes by McKenna, Canova tradition...Inflatable slides before the fireworks...

Kyle and Brinlee... Cass and Kennedi...Brinlee drew this picture the other day and I thought it was so cute. Look close...it is a picture of our family. I've never seen her draw people like this. Notice that each person is smaller as they go down in age! SO CUTE!

Taylor at one month. She definitely has the big Hamblin eyes! She is such a good baby...
