I could just eat him up!!

He is so cute and I just love him!! Benjamin is 5 months old now and weighs about 14 lbs. I can't believe how fast the time flies by. He is sitting up, grabbing at things, staring at food and laughs and giggles all the time. He is the thing that keeps me going right now in my crazy life and he can always make me smile!

Boating....Love it!!

Have you ever seen a cuter baby? I know it is hard to believe but he actually doesn't mind his lifejacket even if he can't even smile in it! But one of our families favorite things to do is to go boating. The kids love just hanging out on the boat and of course I love to waterski!! It has been a great summer and we have been boating lots. We are hoping to go a few more times before the season ends but since I blew my back out last week we will see if we get on the water again!

Creer Family Reunion

We had a wonderful Creer Family Reunion this year and were able to go to Caitlin's cabin in Smith and Morehouse. We all had fun and loved playing at the river, petting the horses and riding them, going to the lake, playing games, eating yummy food, campfires, some good talks and of course nothing is better than the Creer talent night. I never knew we had so many hidden talents!! I want to thank Caitlin's family for letting us use their cabin there were many memories made!

The whole family except for Daniel (taking the picture)

The boys minus Harrison who is too big for cute pajamas.

The lonely two girls in the family...they will be good friends.

The babies....who all did well during the trip.

Abby loves to ride horses.

David of course wouldn't get on without me but once he was on he loved it. And look how beautiful the country is up there! What a great weekend!

July 4th!!

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile....one reason is I have been dealing with this very cute but crying two year old above.....I also thought my life was more interesting than it is and so I haven't had anything to blog about but I have finally found the Fourth of July pictures for your enjoyment so enjoy.....

We had a great time at the Millcreek Parade and had a delicious breakfast at Susannah's house.

Brad walking the parade with David...yes he is at a difficult age!!

He might be a little difficult lately but his smile melts my heart several times a day!
We had a blast swimming that afternoon with all the cousins.

Then we headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon to Brad's cabin for some fun time with his family.

We finished off the night with some great fireworks at the Country Club. The kids loved them and kept Abby and Ben's attention but David had a hard time sitting still!!

Happy Birthday Kathryn!!

Today is my sisters birthday and I just wanted to wish her a very happy birthday. Kathryn is one of the most supportive people I know and is always there if you need help and is especially there for my kids. She comes and supports them and always does fun activities with them. Abby told the dentist the other day that Kath was, "One of her best friends...and she is in my big family!!" It is pretty cute and I know my kids love her as do I. I hope that on her big day she knows how much we love her and are grateful she is part of our lives! Love you, Kath

12 Hours of Lagoon!?!

Yes it is true, we spent 12 hours at Lagoon yesterday. We were one of the first ones there and one of the last to leave and we loved it! I hadn't been to Lagoon in over 10 years and wow it has changed. I have never been much of a Lagoon person but it sure was fun to go with my kids. They did great, no breakdowns and the policeman only brought my kids back to me once!! Right when Lagoon was closing we were able to hit 7 kid rides in about 45 minutes (more than we had all day, we waited over an hour to ride the boats earlier). The kids loved running from one ride to another. I remember those days and it was fun to see my kids running from ride to ride with a big smile on their faces. I only went on one rollercoaster, Jetstar II (I was reminded why I don't like Lagoon), but I am glad my kids enjoyed it and there is nothing like seeing their excitment.
The whole Creer Family at Lagoona Beach...very cold but luckily it didn't rain.

David loved all the rides and we were amazed at his courage.

No Abby did not throw up after this ride. She did not like the motion rides and kept telling us that they made her tummy hurt (as you can tell), but she did like the rollercoasters and terror rides.
The boys got sucked into this stupid baseball pitching booth and kept giving this guy money...so dumb! But I will give props to my husband who pitched at 72 mph...which they say is good and we got a baseball helmet for his amazing talent...dumb!

Had to get the picture in the boats...definitely worth the LONG wait!

Go to the temple!!

I am a temple person. I love the temple and love escaping the world and relaxing in the temple. I have really enjoyed taking the kids to the open houses this past month. We first went to the Draper Temple and then this week we went to the Oquirrh Temple. I was very surprised how different the temples were and how different our experiences were. They are both beautiful temples but have different feelings when you are there. So even if you went to the Draper Temple open house go to the Oquirrh Temple it is a wonderful experience.
