Horseback riding

We had our gray family reunion at my parent's house. Most years we end up riding the horses. I was really surprised that my kids wanted to ride as much as they did but we couldn't pull them off at the end of the night.

Here they sit patiently waiting for their turn. There were lots of kids wanting to ride.

Hunter was awesome and wanted to ride alone.

Jello Painting

Every summer we have a water day where we get to paint ourselves with jello. This is the favorite summer day for all the kids. This year they went a little nuts with the jello.

Kaleb was not loving the idea of painting himself with jello.

Nephi Biathlon

The Nephi Biathlon has come and gone, but I think it was our most succesful year. Cody took first in his age group with Todd Jones coming in second and Brady coming in third. Ron and Tammy also took first in thier age group. Cody and Erin also took fastest non-local thus earning them a big trophy. Hunter also competed this year in the kids biathlon. He did so awesome. He was the youngest to ever have competed. We are so proud.

Swimming

We took the kids swimming to the Lindon Aquatic center. This was the second time we had gone to this pool and my kids love it. They have all sorts of things for kids to do and for about two and a half hours we went from area to area with the kids.

Hunter has gotten very brave since he took swimming lessons. He kept making us have contests to see who could stay under water the longest. Madi just put her face under water.


Madi loved going on the slide.

This was the only time we got hunter to go on the little slide. He was too busy playing dunk with daddy. We were able to get him and madi down the big yellow slide many times.

Sweet Abby

We were trying to get some pictures of abby, but after many attempts we could never move past the deer in the headlights look. We took about ten pictures and every picture had the same face. She still is cute even if she has picture phobia like the rest of the family.

You are my sunshine

Hunter and Madi love to sing this song to Abby. They wanted to sing it together at first, then they wanted a chance in the spotlight by themselves, so sorry about all the videos.

Abbigail Gray MortensenSo I realized that I am a horrible mom and have no pictures of abby on our blog. Here is one of the cute pictures my cousin Jami took when Abby was only a week and a half old. There are many more and they are all so cute but here is one for now.
