Lagoon - It's What Fun Is!!

It was Kyhl family fun time and I must say, it was a hit!  We took off for a day at Lagoon.  There are probably too many pictures, but dang it the girls loved it so much!  Breezy was scared at first, but after she got the hang of it, she wanted to go on ALL of the rides!  I'm a big Lagoon fan and I love riding rides, but after having kids, I can easily say I had more fun watching my girls giggle and squeal than I would have just riding rides myself.

Breezy got a little nervous on the boats when she couldn't see us:

I think Tripp was a little annoyed having to listen to Taylee talk and sing all day long!

Here we are on Brielle's favorite ride.  Abbey and Tripp are in the background.

Brielle loves her cousin Jackson so any time she got to ride with him, she loved it!

I don't think he was quite as impressed though!

Grandma & Grandpa with my shaded Taylee Jane:

On the train:

We took on the crowds at Lagoon-a-Beach, and it was worth it.  The girls thought that was just fabulous!

Travis kind of had to push Breez down the slides or she'd chicken out.  But she always said it was fun in the end!

The water was pretty dang cold.  Brielle had goose bumps everywhere and was shivering the entire time but still did NOT want to get out.


Taylee loved playing in the water too.






When we were all sufficiently cooled off, we hit the rides again. 

I love Brielle's face in this one:

Two brothers pushing their double strollers through a crowded Lagoon.  Very cool guys!

I think we all loved the pirate boat.  Taylee even giggled.  Grandpa was a true champ to go on so many rides with the kids!

Abbey, Brielle and Jackson lovin' the swings!

Sequence of Events:
Pre-ride-  Bree is super excited:

Mid-flight- Very daring!

Post ride - After all that excitement, she is just pooped!

Tilt-a-Whirl.  One of my favs.  Now one of Breezy's too!

And of course we had to end the day with about six-in-a-row rides on the carousel. 

Both girls were singing, squealing, and bouncing.

And whenever Taylee gets super excited, she has this habit of throwing herself backward.  It's usually when I'm holding her and she'll all of the sudden fly backwards until she's hanging upside down.  It's kind of scary for me because I always have to be prepared and be holding on super tight.  She thinks it's hilarious, and that's what she kept trying to do while riding the horse.  Silly girl!

As you can see, we really had a lot of fun so Thank You SO Much Grandpa and Grandma!  We Love You!!


PS:  As I'm writing this, Brielle, who is supposed to be taking a nap, is lying in her bed singing "I Love To See the Temple" at the top of her lungs using as many silly voices as she knows how.  I love being a mom!

Concerts, Swings, and Butterfly Wings

We braved the traffic for a trip to Salt Lake this weekend.  It was a blast but it definitely makes me appreciate living in Richfield.  Seriously, the traffic and non stop construction up north is just downright nuts.  That said, it is extremely nice every once in a while to be back in a place where things actually stay open past 7PM.  Here are a few pics from our fun filled weekend:

On our way up I looked back and saw the girls just sitting there quietly holding hands.  Does it get any sweeter?!

Brielle was delighted to play dress up for Grandma and Grandpa:

Travis and I were able to go to the Mormon Choral Organizations of America concert which was started by our good friend Brandon Stewart.  They did an amazing job and it was really fun to see him.  We also stopped at 7/11 for Slurpee's at around midnight both nights we were there, just because we could!  We really like Slurpee's.  And of course what's a date night without a late night movie?  We enjoyed all of these activities but I have to say that a highlight of our trip was heading out to Daybreak to watch my dad's band play.  The girls absolutely LOVED it!



Even though it was past her bedtime, Taylee was just so animated and full of cute little dance moves!

Brielle of course boogied until she about broke.  She would dance and dance, and then fall and giggle.

Meanwhile, Taylee would be sneaking sips of Brielle's drink:

They have the same hair line don't they?!

We weren't the only ones dancing.  I love to see people so happy!




It was so fun to watch my dad on the drums and to have them dedicate songs to "Heavy T" while we continuously requested "Wipeout"!  I love you Dad and have always really enjoyed your talent with the drums! Not only are you an excellent drummer, but you're also a fantastic Grandpa!  My children truly adore you!

Good old Riz:

We definitely had some great times in the good old Dubya Jay but as always, there's really no place like home.  Both of my girls grinned from ear to ear at seeing their own beds.  Taylee even clapped!

They are so silly!

And of course Brielle got right back into her routine of dressing up Princess style.  She always starts out the modeling show being really shy. . . . .

And then BAM!  Craziness ensues.
