July 24th

Once again Trav had to work, so my Mom came up and we took the kids to the American West Heritage Center for their festivities. 

Work....or Play

Trav has thoroughly been enjoying work and we are so blessed that he has been given the opportunities to work where he does.  Sometimes, I wonder if he has too much fun!

He Eats Like a King!

Gets Interesting Calls and Covers Events Like This

Wears a Sexy Uniform Like This

AND has Old Women Confused!

Indian Outfit

Trav has been really involved in the Order of the Arrow as a youth and now as an adult.  As part of his graduation/starting work gift he began piecing together an Indian Outfit to wear at these events.  Here is how it's coming along.

He is so excited about it!  Thanks to all who have put in so much time and work to make it happen.

Logan Demolition Derby

I love demo derbies!  This did not disappoint, although, it did rain on us for the first several minutes.  the kiddos had a blast and did well.  I think these will be a regular occurrence for the Allred family!

Potty Training Attempt

With 5 days off work, I decided to try potty training the twins at the beginning of July. Here's how it went.

Step 1: Get Underwear On

Step 2: Sit on Potty every 30 minutes for 4 whole days.

Step 3: Try, Try, Again........LATER! 

We had no successes in 4 days and I cleaned up a lot of messes.  I decided to give up by the 5th day and to try again later.....much later!

4th of July

Trav had duties in Layton this year for the 4th, so we spent the day enjoying Layton City's festivities with my family, the Olsen's, and Trav's mom Lisa.  It was a fun and exhausting day!

 

On the 3rd, Trav was on shift in Layton so the kiddos and I headed up to USU for the firework show outside Romney Stadium with his family.  Good show, although, I remember why I haven't gone in years past....to late for the kiddos and a 2 HOUR drive home because of the traffic.

Random June Happenings

 Brielle's First Black Eye: this little missy was standing on the toilet watching me get ready for the day and decided to lean a little too far forward while playing peek a boo with her brother.  She then lost her balance and smacked her little eye right on the lip of the bathtub.  What a shiner!

We had a visit from one of my favorite roommates ever: Lacey Scott and her adorable twin girls Mia and Mylo.  Mylo was too active to sit still for a pic, but we were able to get some adorable ones of Mia!  It was a blast.

 Brielle has been quite creative lately and has started coming up with quite a few projects.  The first is a rainbow and the second is a train.  Love this little girl.
