Fun with Cousins

Tiff took the day off work, so I took the girls down to spend a day at her house in Lehi. Everything is more fun at Aunt Tiffy's, and I have to agree. We went to the Lehi pool, and it was so fun! There was slides for the girls, a rockwall to climb and jump into the water, a shallow end, and of course cousins to swim with. 

Claire is a really good swimmer for a 4 year old, but she got a little too confident when she jumped off the diving board in to the 12 ft deep end. She made it to the wall the first time, but I had to jump in and save her the second time, which humbled her. She spent the rest of the time on the slide and in the shallow end with cousins :). 

Quincey is a hot commodity in the Haggerty household.

If I couldn't find Claire, I quickly found her going down these slides. So fun!

The gang.

So fun to have cousins their ages! They ended the day with a sleepover. They are so spoiled :).

Mini Enduro #1: Jeremy Ranch

Greg started up his Mini Enduro's this summer. Thanks to yours truly, he missed the email telling the crowd that the Mini Enduro Season Passes were live - meaning he didn't get a season pass, but it wasn't all bad. He was still able to sign up for the individual races that he wanted to do and miss the ones he didn't. 

The day of the 1st Mini Enduro was super hot down in Kaysville, but the clouds continued to get darker and darker the closer we got to Park City. Being the stellar mother that I am, I didn't pack any rain jackets ... why would I? But, I remember the girl's hats, so I considered that good enough. Lucky for us, and Greg, the clouds waited to unload until after his 2 races.

Check out those dark clouds!

The girls did so good on the hike! Look how green it is.

Greg's first stage finish and we made it in plenty of time. He did great!

Claire was in wildflower heaven.

Greg came barreling down the mountain on his 2nd stage finish and scared the crap out of the lady in front of him. You can see her stopped as he flew past her in the first of the video. Luckily she got off the trail just in time or he would've run her over.

It chose to rain for a little bit while Greg was climbing back up the mountain for his 2nd race. The girls and I did the best we could hiding under the scraggly tree's.

I had to include these pictures of Claire, because she's hilarious!

We were able to hike down quickly enough before the rain hit. We were a good 50 yards away and Claire, Quincey and I booked it as fast as we could to the car. It was dead (I'll tell that story in a later post) and poor Greg was out in the pouring rain jumping the car while the girls and I watched cozily from inside.

I snapped this picture of this random guy to show how muddy it got. He rode down just minutes behind us - it was crazy! But, Utah needs the rain so it's hard to complain. 

You can't even tell the color of his bike. Crazy!

Taking over Hogle Zoo

We came home from our trip to Cedar just in time for a fun night at the Hogle Zoo. Wheeler Cat bought out the zoo after hours for its employee's and their families to enjoy. We had a yummy dinner, enjoyed unlimited carousel and train rides, concession snacks, and even got our faces painted. It was so fun and completely free for us. Score!

💞💞💞💞💞

This lion was so cool! I always knew they were big, but seeing them next to the little kids was a huge comparison.

May Days

May was crazy! But we were also able to have some down time amidst the chaos. Here is a photo dump of our lives mixed with Baby Quincey who is growing like a weed!

May was a chilly month until the very end. This is us on a Sunday walk between rainstorms.

She made a tortilla mask. It was kind of terrifying.

Mittens found me on the couch early one morning. Quince was really good at keeping me up at night.

The girls loved to push their dad out of the garage on his way to work. Luckily, we haven't suffered any casualties ...

Sof had a "Meet the Master's" Art session all year long. It was so fun to be able to go and see the artwork she has been working on all year.

She also took a separate art class that was after school for 4 weeks. This is the picture her cute after school class collaborated on. I was pretty impressed!

Claire has discovered the pizza at Costco, and I reward her with one if she behaves while we shop. It's a win-win for both of us. And, it's much cheaper than McDonald's. I have no idea why more mom's don't bring their kids here for lunch.

Greg went all out and made me a fancy Mexican dish for Mother's Day. I love it when he cooks, because I never know what to expect. And, I love this video because he is slowly losing his touch to look serious and unaffected. Slowly but surely I'm wearing him down :).

We spent a rainy morning at the Jump Park. We basically had the place to ourselves.

Claire kept running down this slide and crashing at the bottom. It was hilarious watching her little legs move as fast as they did.

Google made this collage for me. Love it!

Quince would only sleep when snuggling next to my warm body. We spent many hours in this chair. She is just so cute!

Claire wanted to take her own picture of Quincey with Bell's, her kitty. I love it!

Oh the personality of this one.

We went to the park one day and Claire wouldn't let the kids through. They literally had to climb over her while she was living her best life with her shoes through the holes.

Greg was working in the sprinklers one night and the girls had a blast running through them.

Claire found my bra and wore it around one morning, but that's not important. I have always loved her eyes, and I can't help but stare at them in this pic!

Greg and I (mostly Greg) spent the month of May researching mattresses. The time had come in our marriage to graduate from the pillowtop we received as a wedding present. The girls had a lot of fun hopping from mattress to mattress while we talked with the rep.

3 months old!

This is how they ride up the street. It's hilarious!

Claire loves to dust our dresser. And she's pretending to look at me through the world's smallest pair of binoculars.

Claire and her little friends.

Sof and I took a date one day on the ebike to a park.

I wish all laundry was this cute.

I'm pretty sure Greg's crotch is Mitten's favorite place 🤣
