Birthday's and seven peaks

Both of the boys baseball teams made it to state tournament this year and so we decided to go to seven peaks water park and celebrate there birthdays before that all started.




Me and my boys!








Mom took pity on me and spent the day lounging

in the hot sun!

What big strong boys! Hunter was so excited because this was the first year he was tall enough to go down free fall. He was a little nervous but with some encouragement from Garrett and Josh he decided to brave it and then spent most of the day going down it!

Spanish Fork Reservoir

Yesterday Angie and I took the kids to the Spanish Fork Reservoir. The kids had a great time swimming.

Jonah playing in the sand.

Smile Angie!

The ultra cool Garrett and Josh.

Garrett and his tiny fish.

This older man was fishing and gave the boys a couple of fish (probably so they would leave him alone):) Then when we were leaving he was cleaning his fish so we watched for a while and found the right way to do it. He was such a helpful man! He even taught me how to cook them! So we went home and I helped Hunter gut my very first fish! Then I even got the bones out and cut the skin off.

Here is our cooked fish! Not much meat for two small fish. It may not look the greatest but the kids LOVED it!

Swimming

Hunter had swimming lessons this week in Spanish Fork. If I were to describe Hunter fearful would definitely not be the word I would use! He is very daring and brave but when you put him in the water his fearful side comes out. In years past he would cry and not let go of the teacher's neck! Well this year he jumped right in and did really well. He was still a little nervous when they would make him swim in the deep end but no tears about it all week! My kids both got the Snyder curse and just like my dad they sink like a rock in the water! I kid you not! Garrett and Hunter both stiffen up in the water and so they just sink! My dad is the same way! Angie's kids are like fish in the water from the day they are born! My kids are learning to relax in the water and not sink near as much. :) Angie's girls also had swimming lessons with us this week. We kind of figure the week of swimming lessons we get nothing done anyway so why not just go to the pool! We went to the new Payson pool this week and also to seven peaks. My mom and dad brought my niece Danielle to visit from Colorado for a few weeks and Dan came up to visit her so they came to enjoy seven peaks with us. We only get to see Danielle once a year(if were lucky) so it has been fun visiting with her. She turned 17 in June and is a lot of fun! She did manage to avoid my camera at seven peaks but I will post more pictures later so everyone can see how old Danielle is getting!


Hunter diving.




Mom and Dan wanted to make sure our stuff
was okay so they sat here the whole time and
read books!:) Aren't they exciting!

Smile Angie! She loves to have her picture taken!


Jonah eating candy and resting for a second!
We put him inside the tube to keep him still for
a second and that's about all that he was still for!
He kept running off and getting in the water
without anyone!


Maleah, Brynna and Hunter enjoying a snack!

Fun at the Cabin

After swimming we headed up to the cabin. Mom and Dad were very sad to be left out of the fun this year but they were out of town so we enjoyed the cabin without them.(but we did miss them!) We spent the rest of the afternoon going on 4 wheeler rides! The kids love to ride the 4 wheelers at the cabin.

Jonah and Brighton trying to escape!

Spencer and Kristy decided they had had enough fun for one day so they went home and Angie and I and our families decided to spend the night. What could be more fun than that!

The kids playing games. Since when has Garrett

become so camera shy?!? Every time I tried to

take a picture he was covering his face!

Good morning Angie! Angie thought she was

really funny and kept taking awful morning pictures

of me so I held her down and took this awesome one

of her!

Jonah loves to climb and throw. He was throwing

his food on the floor and Angie tried to take it

away and he climbed up on the table to try to get

it back from her. Hunter very nicely got it for him

and was helping him eat it. What a monkey that Jonah

is! Every time we turned around he was throwing

something (anything) in your face. Camera's, food,

balls, toys!

Brynna LOVES uncle Jesse! She is always by his

side. Garrett and Hunter get a little (I mean a lot)

jealous by this! They told her the other day that

Jesse loved me more than her! She was very upset

by this and wanted me to reassure her that this was

not true!

It was great to get away and spend time with family, but it is always nice to come home again!

Swimming

After the parade we got to go and cool off in the pool.



Garrett taking Stella down the water slide.
He and Josh were having a great time taking her down.








Isn't Miles the cutest kid! I just can't get over
how adorable he is! He is sooo funny. He is just
a tiny 2 year old and runs around talking really clear.
He has the funniest facial expressions.I think
the best part is watching how he runs Spencer
around in circles. He he Miles is definitely in charge!


Brynna helping Stella put her life jacket on.



Hunter on the diving board.


Here are the not so helpful dad's sitting outside
the pool area watching all the fun! Don did get in
the pool for a while but Jesse was too tired and
Spencer had a headache! Sounds like some good
excuses to me!:)


Brynna swimming with Jonah in the baby pool.
They wouldn't let any kids with swim diapers in
the regular pool so this is were the babies had to
swim.

Summer Fun

Jesse keeps trying to convince me to get rid of our sand pile. He claims our kids are getting to old to enjoy it anymore and I tell him they still enjoy it. Well it's days like this that I am sure my kids still love it! Hunter and his friend Mario were out running through the sprinklers and they had been out there a long time. When I went out to check on them this is what I found. They had turned on the hose and were making rivers through the sand. When Garrett came out to see the fun he convinced Hunter to let him bury him in the wet sand. They played in it for hours! The things kids do for fun!

Fun at Grammies

This week Grandma Zobrist was visiting from Las Vegas. We don't get to see her near enough so we spent some time at my mom's house this week entertaining her. The kids love to play at my mom's house so any excuse to be there is fine with them. My Grandma is such a funny women! I have always had fond memories of going to Vegas and visiting her and Grandpa and all my cousins. It's funny to listen to the funny things my Grandma says that just drive my mom crazy! It's a good thing that my mom never drives me and my sister crazy! he he :) I am fighting a terrible head cold this week (I didn't get one all winter and now have one in June! Great Huh!) Garrett and Hunter got to spend some time helping my dad this week and even spent 2 nights sleeping over. This worked great for me being sick and not worrying about what they were doing.

Garrett, Hunter and Grandma Zobrist

If we can climb it at Grammies we will!

Fun on the slip-n-slide

Maleah and Brynna love to pose for the camera.

Every time I turn around those two are posing

wanting a picture taken.

Jonah HATES the water! Of course everyone

wants him to love it so he is always being drug

kicking and screaming towards the water!

Imagine that! Leave him alone and he will do

it on his own terms!

Laying out

Grandma Zobrist, Angie and Brynna

Check out those poses! Do they love the camera!

Give that boy a ball and he's happy!

Hunter jumping off the roof of the barn on to the

trampoline!

We even made a quick day trip to the cabin!

I took the boys down for the day and did a deep

clean of the cabin. That really helped my cold!

I am putting this video on for my sister who

always forgets her camera! She was looking through

my pictures and said I had more pictures of her kids

than she did! So I am helping her capture her

youngest life! This video is soooo cute. Jonah has

learned to bark like a dog and was attacking my

mom's cat and barking at it. So this one's for

you Ang! What a slacker :)
