Peyton had the best night of his life last Saturday. We have lived in Cedar for many years now and we have never been to the Summer Games opening ceremonies but we decided to go with some friends this year. I am so glad that we did it was so much fun! Peyton honestly had a blast. I was worried how things were going to go because he hadn't had a nap all day and it was going to be a late evening but he did great and had the best time. He loved being outside, dancing with his friend Jerzi and seeing the fireworks. It was fun for us to just sit and watch him have so much fun, it was the perfect evening.
The place was packed so we set up camp on the track which turned out to be the perfect spot with plenty of room for the kids to play and we could see everything great.
It was so funny to watch Peyton and Jerzi dance around they were cracking us up! They both had some serious moves and they weren't being shy:)



More dancing, they were getting ready to do the worm it looks like.
Peyton and Daddy watching the motorcycles doing there cool jumps during the Nitro Circus part of the evening.
It was pretty sweet, you can see the motorcycle in the distance.
My favorite and probably Peyton's too was the fireworks. They do a great firework show at the summer games. I love this picture of Peyton in awe of the excitement.
Then he was just getting excited he loved all the colors and music, it was great!
The ending of a wonderful evening! 
Since Shaye was going to be working long hours all weekend Peyt and I decided to take a little trip and go visit our family up north. We had a great time going to Thanksgiving Point and visiting Farm Country there. The kids had a blasts seeing all the animals and going on a wagon and pony ride. Here are all the cute kiddos. Bridger, Kaleb, Kaija, Peyton and Blake.
We even got to catch up with Uncle Nate while we were there. My mom was in town picking Nate up from camp-K so they joined us as well. It was Dairy Days at the farm so we got to learn how to make our own ice cream by shaking it in ice in a zip lock bag. It turned out pretty good, Peyton sure thought it was tasty!
Yum Yum!
One of Peyton's favorite parts of the place was this little play house that said Kitty's Dance Hall on the front. I told him it was a dancing house and he went right in and started dancing up a storm. That kid loves to dance!
Dancing with Auntie Emily, they made quite the pair!
They are pretty cute too:)
Peyton digging in the sand for a prize at Blake's party. Saturday Brittany had a great birthday party for Blake who just turned the big 4! All the kids had a blast playing all the games and especially jumping in the pretty cool bounce house! 
It took some encouraging to get Peyton to get in the bounce house. It was very big and Peyton seemed excited but he was nervous and he wouldn't let go of me to get in. Finally my aunt Natalie was holding him and took him over to the bounce house and he was hesitant but he let her put him in. Once he got in he didn't want to get out! It did look pretty fun, I kinda wanted to get in and try it out myself:)
I spied in and found Kaija and Peyton playing so nice together. They were taking turns talking in the little microphone. Peyton would say something and then hand it to Kaija. It was too cute, and best of all they were sharing and having a great time! (It kinda looks like he is yelling at her but he's not, they were laughing:)
We always have a great time with our family and we are so glad when we get a chance to see them. We had a full weekend and then came home Saturday night so we could enjoy Father's Day with Shaye.  Peyton must have been worn out from all the fun we've been having, he slept in until 10 o' clock this morning! I couldn't believe it but it was nice to catch up on some sleep!
