Swimming with Aunt Amanda

Again back in the end of June
My little Sis Amanda Slept over
My siblings like to take turns sleeping over at our house and playing
with Maddux I think it is just as fun for us as it is for them
I Love living close to Family again


So we decided since it was warm outside
it would be a good day to go swimming
We have Cottonwood Height Rec Center just up the road from us
Maddux and I had been swimming there a few times before
with my friend Amber and her little girl Anna
But we had never been to the outdoor pool
and I was so excited to try it out


There are 2 water slides, 3 different height plat forms, 
a high dive and low dive, a kids area with a little slide 
and lots of fun water falls, a big kids area
and lanes to swim laps
It is awesome

We all had a BLAST!


and Maddux especially loved having his Aunt Manda there with us


We will for sure be going back there very soon

Wheeler Farm Play Date

On Friday June 24th
 Another fun play date we did
was go to Wheeler farm
with my friends Amber and Stephanie from my ward
And their cute little kiddos Anna and Jonathan

It is so fun to have some friends close by with little ones 
close to Maddux's age
(Anna is a few months older and Jonathan is just a few months younger)

Because Amber and I started wanting to hang out more
Maddux and Anna have become such good little friends
We are always trying to do something
whether it be the library story time, swimming or going on walks
we thought wheeler farm would be a fun change 
for the kids


This baby goat was my favorite part of the whole day
He was adorable
I wanted to take it home so bad :)


we walked around to see the animals first and 
then headed over the bridge to eat some lunch
but then had to rush back over because they were having some 
flooding issues during this time


Haha I am lovin this face 
It looks like he is trapped


Sweet little Anna 
just sayin hi
One of M's girlfriends
He is such a lady's man
I am in trouble



There was this really cute play house on the side
of the bridge that we had lunch on
I think Maddux's favorite part was climbing up the stairs 
and just crawlin around like a 
maniac



We were there just watchin the kids play
looking at animals
eatting and chatting
for about 2 hours and it was so fun

I love getting Maddux out of the house
especially in the summer
I think it is so good for him to get out and learn
and he LOVES to be outside
But I am not gonna lie I also do these play dates
for me to get me out of the house and with friends so 
I don't go crazy

If you haven't been to wheeler farm you should for sure go
It is so pretty
(I actually got my bridals taken there)
and it is fun for the kiddos
It is in Murray just FYI
And I'll come with you cuz I love it there

Park Play Date

 I am still trying to get caught up on the family blog
so we are still back in June
We had some fun times this month
and a lot of play dates


I have met a lot of fun people through my blog
One of my favorites is Hilary 


she is such a inspiration and good mommy 
I just really look up to her
 I love all her ideas
and we found out that we both lived in Salt Lake
and I was so so so excited to finally meet and hang out
with her and her little girl Blayke


We went to the park
fed the kiddos lunch, watched the kids play
and just talked a lot 
it was a lot of fun and I am excited to hang out again


The Swings were their favorite



They had a lot of fun and so did their mommas
Thanks Hilary
