Burton reunion

We went to the Burton reunion at my Mom's cousins home in Sandy. Now this house has an amazing backyard. She used to work on Temple Square on landscape work soooooo her backyard is her lil' Temple Square. It's enormous and emaculate.....I didn't see one weed out there. Now back to the reunion......we had a lot of reunions this summer to attend, let me explain, most are for the same family. My grandma Matthews name was Merle Burton Bennett Grant Matthews, sooo as your can see, we went to most of those names. It was neat to visit with family that knew my mom's biological father, Dell Grant.

We went to so many reunions that whenever we were in the car going ANYWHERE, Spencer would say, "Mom, we going to another beunion". That's when you've been to too many. It didn't matter if we were going to the grocery store, Spencer would ask that question, and the funny thing was that a lot of the answers were "yes, Bubba". It was fun!!

So the rest of the pictures are all the backyard of this house. It was incredible, and so fun for Spencer because he just went and explored. He wanted to see what was around each bend. And I was right behind.......with the camera (of course).

24th of July get-together

My aunt invited us to a Gorringe get-together at her house in Highland. We had a great time visiting with family we unfortunately don't get to see a lot. So we got to catch up with everyone. It is so good to hear their news and what they've been up to lately.

They had activites planned such as; water balloon toss (winners were Uncle Carl and Stephen), the coolest pvc rocket launcher ( I need to make one), and some good treats and a whole lot of visiting.

It's crazy to see all out cousins kids all grown up. Where has the time gone? It seems just yesterday that we were the ones that size. Hmmm, I'm old!!!

Spencer loved the rocket launcher, even though he wasn't big enough to jump on the 2-liter bottle that makes it fly, but he recuited help and made his rocket fly. He would go around hugging everyone (he knew they were family somehow) and then went right back to Aunt Alisa to sit on her lap.

Watching the rockets fly so high in the air was so neat. We all were amazed they went that high.

This is cute cousin Becky (pregnant) helping Spencer launch his rocket.

Crowd watching the rockets launch.

At my aunt and uncles place they have a huge patch of grass that's just perfect for little ones to roll down. So this is where Spencer was most of the time. He couldn't quite get the concept of rolling so he just ran down it.

Herriman Splash pad

We took the kids to the splash pad in Herriman. Spencer had a blast. He was the whitest out there, which was ok because I could always spot where he was. Lincoln stayed in his stroller the whole time (allergic to the sun). He has to stay covered the whole time. It's a bummer, but he was ok with it this time.

As you can see, totally ok!!!

This could be a bad thing......
And it got him right in the face (I wasn't fast enough on pushing the button).
