Strawberry Days Carnival
I love the little community in Pleasant Grove. They have history and traditions and I LOVE that about a town! Every year in June Pleasant Grove hosts a strawberry days. It dates back to the great depression when strawberries produced here in PG brought people from all over to purchase them. It helped to keep the town alive during the struggling time and soon they made a day out it, including entertainment and more food and soon people came from all over to partake in the festivities. Now Strawberry Days is a week long and they host all sorts of events such as the Rodeo, Carnival, Volleyball tournament, art exhibits, parades, baby contest etc...
Maybe next year we will try to get to the rodeo, but this year we just attempted the rides and will go to the parade on Saturday. The kids loved going on the rides and waited so patiently for their turn. I love this age. They are so cute and excitable! We got to do 5 rides and then got slush puppies and ice cream and headed home. Later that night we got to see some fireworks outside our house. Love these summer events! And love these cute smiling faces! These kids make everything more fun!
National Guard Family Day
We got to spend a Saturday afternoon seeing Lloyd's world! Well...kinda. I don't think they normally have a bouncy house, band, rock climbing wall, face painting and dunk tank everyday. They had a family day and the kids LOVED it. They got to see helicopters and eat lots of sugar and play play play! Zoey got her face painted as a tiger. We had cotton candy and ice pops and they served a full lunch. Lloyd is retiring this month from the military so this was our last chance to support him! We were really glad we got to go! 
Fan Comes To Visit!
My mom came out to visit the same weekend I finished my school year! It was just what the doctor ordered!
We filled pretty much every second with lots of fun. Saturday Mom and Jenni came down with Will and we all went to the pool. Jake watched the kids and the three of us got to go check out some of the Parade Of Homes houses. We picked up Bry and go to see him for a quick second before they all headed back north.
Sunday night mom came back down and got to meet up with Jake's family for our weekly Sunday dinner's.
Monday we got up and watched "shows" in my bed with Zoey and Logan. We took Zoey to get her first hair cut! She really needed it. Then we took the kids to Karen's and me mom and Linda went to lunch and to look at some other houses. We stopped at Gardner's Village and loved going through all the boutiques and little shops. And of course we stopped to get a cupcake. :o)
We kicked Jake out of my bed and stayed up late and watched Safe Haven. Perfect chick flick, plus mom is reading the book and was dying to see how they put it into a movie.
Tuesday we got to take Zoey to dance class! She was so cute in her little purple leotard my mom brought from home. Mom and I loved reminiscing about all the dance classes of our past. We got to look in at some of the older dancers. I love that dance is loved and embraced by so many. It sure brought me so much happiness in mine. Zoey is such a good little listener and follower. She does really well in her class.
After dance mom and I set off on another fun afternoon going to Zupas for lunch, Old Navy and more houses. We stopped in Alpine at Dear Lizzie boutique and then after more houses went and bought some cute things a Bella Ella clothing boutique.
We gathered the family and went to Costa Vida and then got Zoey a bike at Wal-Mart. She was riding the bike all through the store. She loves her Fan!! Mom and I went to Zumba at nine. I loved having her there and she was standing on the side of the room towards the end getting all emotional watching me dance. She is so cute.
We were all so sad to see her go. In two weeks we will be in NY having some east coast fun!
Thanks mom for the perfect mom week!!

The Chicken Coop & Our Flock
Here are some pictures of the chicken coop Jake designed and built. It's not done yet. More pics to come! It has been so great seeing him get into his garden and the chicken coop. The kid loves to use his hands. I don't know how he survives at his office job everyday. We have 4 little chicks that we are having fun see grow by the day. They won't lay eggs until this winter, but we are happy to wait and just have the company!
