The summer is going fast....

My friend and I decided to take our kids from our home town to Aggie Ice Cream at the University by the transit system.  It probably took us a total of 4 hours but we did it and the kids had a great time.  The bus drivers and people on the buses were very helpful too.

Just Aria and Zach being silly.

Not very often do we wake up and not at least have one kid in our bed.  This was so cute I had to take a picture of Zachary and daddy sleeping.

On Zach's last day of speech class for the summer they go to dress up as cowboys.  He has really improved on his speech and he really likes his teach.

This was at the Porter Family reunion this year.  There was a bunch of candy and toys in a saw dust pile and the kids dug through it to find the treasures.  They had so much fun and found a gold mine of candy and toys.  Thank you grandpa and grandma Porter.

Samuel turned 6 this year.  He got to invited a few friends this year and they all went to a movie with Travis and then came home for cake and ice cream.  Sam had the time of his life.  He wanted his birthday to last forever.

Then on his actually birthday day we had a small family party for Sam.  We got him Star War Lego's and he loved it.  Him and dad just finished putting together the Star Ship. 

My sister's kids always show at the Cache County Fair.  We like to go support them.  The kids really enjoyed playing on the tractors as we waited for the cousins to show their horses.

This is Aria with two champion horse showers (I don't even know if that is how you say that) Maggie (R) and Ronnie (L).  Maggie is one month older than Aria and Ronnie is 2 years old. 

After they showed their horses the kids got to take a ride on one of the horses.  Zachy wouldn't leave Aunt Amy alone until she let him ride.  Thanks Aunt Amy and Uncle Jared.

Aria really wanted to ride the horse but wasn't sure once she got up there.  She was a pretty tall horse.  But she did it and had a good time.

Of course Sam has had the chance to ride a horse before but was way excited to try it again.

Yesterday we took the kids on a hike to Willow Springs.  It is about a mile round trip trail.  They had a great time and loved being up in the mountains and playing in the water.  It was a fun easy hike and it was a fun family outing.
