Ryan had such a blast at Lagoon. For about 2 1/2 hours out of the 12 hour day at Lagoon, Jeff and I split up. He took Justin to all the big rides that Ryan is still too little to go on and I stayed with Ryan in Kiddie Land and watched him ride all of the rides over and over. He was all smiles! 
Justin and Ryan love the Dinosaur Drop. Ryan is always a little nervous at first, but once he rides it once, he wants to go over and over.
This is the new ride at lagoon. I can't remember the name, but Justin and Ryan loved it. It is a family water ride, but you can control how wet you get. We spent most of our time at family rides that we could all ride. Our favorites were the Tilt-o-Whir, the Scrambler and the Tidal Wave.
This is a weird picture to take and then love out of all the pictures we took this day. However, I love it because it shows such brotherly love between the boys. Justin was so darling in that he always kept a protective arm around Ryan in lines and made sure Ryan was all buckled and settled before buckling himself. If Ryan was nervous at all, Justin would say, "don't worry I won't let anything happen to you." Ryan would grin up at Justin and off they would go.
We had the best time and the best weather all day. We had t-shirts on all day until the sun went down when we put on sweat shirts. It was perfect, never too hot or never to cold. We ended up staying for 12 hours. We kept waiting for the kids to get cranky or for it to get too cold, but it never did. We had pajamas in the car for the boys and they were both out within 10 minutes. My mom and dad had Joshua for the day so he was happy. He cries anytime they leave our house without him. So we knew he was having a great day being spoiled. It was one of the those awesome days where everything went just right and I can't think of a thing I would change. Hooray Lagoon!!!
The Spartans Football team rented out the Lehi Legacy Center's pool for their end of the season party. All the players had a blast! GO SPARTANS! This is several of the team waiting for a huge bucket of water to fall on them. Justin has on the white swim trunks and blue goggles.
This is Justin receiving his trophy. He is so proud of it and shows it to everyone that comes to our house. He can't wait to be on the team next year. GO SPARTANS!
The party was for the whole family. This is Ryan having fun in the pool. He has really taken to the water lately. My mom kept Joshua for us because the party didn't start until after his bed time.
This is Ryan coming do the slide. He must have gone down it at least 30 times. He was fun to watch.
This is Justin coming down the slide. He loved it too. However, he spent most of his time wrestling and playing with his coaches and teammates.
Joshua did great with his first haircut. He sat very still and quiet for Shaunta. Jeff insisted that Joshua see his stylist even though he's only 17 months old. Jeff is very particular about our boy's haircuts. I know, that's weird, but that's my quirky husband for you.
He seems to have a love for Shaunta just like his daddy and brothers. Justin loves to go to the salon for a new style as often as he can.
This is the finished product. Jeff was very happy. Joshua is such a sweet little guy and easy to take places.
One of the many things I love about Joshua is he always wakes up with a smile on his cute little face. On this day, I had to wake him up early from his nap for his hair cut appointment. I thought I should get a couple of sweet sleeping pictures before I woke him up. Well, it only took 2 big flashes of light to wake him up. He still woke up with a smile. What a cute boy! I don't think I would smile when someone was standing above me flashing bright light in my face.
Joshua had his first experience with cotton candy at Justin's school carnival. My mom showed it to him, but he didn't really know what to do with it.
So, she gave him a taste. Guess what? He liked it! He said, "mmmmm".
Then he smiled and wanted more. Then he wanted more!
Then he reached out and took it and put it right up to his face with a giggle.
Joshua is a big fan of cotton candy. My mom and I had the best time watching him eat the entire thing. I love all of those first you get with a baby!
My three boys had a great time at the school carnival. Justin and Ryan loved the rides and loved playing all the carnival games. They were thrilled with the little prizes they won.
This is Joshua's first ride ever. Justin got him all buckled in and ready ride, but I wasn't sure how he was going to like it.
He absolutely LOVED it! The faster the ride went the bigger his smile and the louder his giggle. He brings so much joy to our family. 
Justin and Ryan liked the spinning ride the best of all and rode it several times. Each time they got their car spinning even faster than before. It made me dizzy just watching.
