Summer happenings.

This past summer we went to Utah and spent two month with our families.. We did A LOT of stuff and it has take me forever to blog them all. They are short post in one BIG LONG post.


One thing we did was go up to Park City and staid in a Marriott timeshare! I always love going up to PC and staying for a couple of day. The whole family came up and we just hung out, went swimming and went on the Alpine slide.

Every July Ross's family (all the Butterfields) have a butter cup classic golf tournament. I'm not a golfer at all but its fun to go and try and play. The put you in teams of four and you play best ball! This year our team won the tournament!! We had a lot of fun and our team was really good.. well besides me :) the team was Ross and I and two of Ross's cousin Matt and Cory.


Oma though it would be fun to have Jackson play in the sink! Jackson actually loved it and every time my mom was doing the dishes he wanted to go back in lol












My family went up to Mueller park canyon and had a fire and ate dinner! This is Jackson loving a carrot and ranch



Playing in the water with dad





Jacksons first time seeing a fire and roasting a marshmallow


I love the 24th of July! My family has always gone to the parade, had a BBQ and then up to Muller Park to watch the best firework show! I love inviting people to watch the fireworks with us because we have great seats and the show is never disappointing! This year we invited Robbie and Lacee to come to come and spend the whole day with us! This was Jacksons first real firework show and he didn't know what to think again. He just cuddled into us and shyly hid and watched them. I think his and Lincoln's favorite part of the day was the glow rings that were bought for them! The both fell asleep before the show was over lol

Playing in the sprinklers with dad! Jackson usually hates getting his face wet in the bath tub but love sticking his head in the water while playing the sprinklers.





















I love this!!

We went to the Hogle Zoo while we were there with Aunt Heather and cousin Addi! I loved this zoo before I moved to MS and saw their zoo. Memphis zoo makes the Hogle zoo look like a small run down dump :) The Memphis zoo is huge, very well kept up and dosent stink like the Hogle zoo does haha but as my mom said "I am thankful we have a zoo we can go to and if you don't see any other once its great!" Good ole peck peck teaching me to be thankful!

Oma has a bird and Jackson loved to look at it. We started off letting him hold it but he pulled its tail feathers out and mean Oma wouldn't let him hold it by himself anymore lol



Pulling out Feathers




Jackson love to help Opa mow the lawn! He loves being outside. Here in Mississippi its to hot to really go play outside so it was nice to have a summer where Jackson could play outside all he wanted.

Real Game

While we were in Utah we went to a Real Game with my family! I loved going to the games when we lived there and over our marriage I have made Ross into a soccer fan! And of course all of my family already loves soccer so it was a lot of fun to be with everyone and cheer. Despite Jackson not feeling well he enjoy watching everything that was happening. My mom took Jackson up top to play around and while she was there they started throwing little soccer balls in the section next to us, I looked up to see what my mom was doing and I couldn't see them anymore. My whole family joke that she ran over there to try and get a ball for Jackson.... After they were done throwing the balls my mom and Jackson came walking down the stairs with a little soccer ball haha Leave it to my mom to go ask for a ball for her grandson! Jackson loved it!

Us at the game

Fourth of July

We also celebrated the fourth of July in St. George! We went over to some of Ross's family friends and had a BBQ and lit fireworks. I think their whole street came out and brought their fireworks to light off. They all had bought those backs from the store and the show was never ending! We probably watch for about a hour and then left to take Jackson home. Jackson was a little nervous for the fireworks. He didn't cry but he would grab onto you with his hands and hold tight or lay his head down on you but he always kept watching them! I was fun to see our friend the Fisher's there too and be able to catch up on life.

Trying to take a family picture and Jackson wasn't having anything to do with it!

Holding a sparkler with dad.. and not knowing what to think of it!
