4th of July

The 4th of July, celebrated on the 3rd, was a huge success for the Flamm family. We began by eating a pancake breakfast. The boys were able to get Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes. We then watched the parade. Bother and Sister Baham were kind to offer their yard to the ward.

The end of the parade has a big water fight. Zachary loved it, and Brother Green was kind enough to let him use his water gun and help him aim.

After the parade we had lunch there, it was delicious and fun for the kids to be with other children. It was definitely time for naps so home we went. Kyle was kind enough to allow me to take a nice long nap as well. The evening began with a trip over to the kids center where they had a lot of blowup slides, and bouncy toys to play with. Zachary and Eric had a blast and could have stayed there for hours.

The Slide The Fireworks

We finished the evening by going to Kaysville Theater and watching "How to Train Your Dragon" with Judd and Melanie's family. We then watched the Kaysville fireworks. The day was full and fun!! Happy 4th of July to everyone!

Put your hands in the air!

We spent a few good hours on some mighty fun field trips in June. Today I will just post about a small portion of one we took at the beginning of June. We visited Tracy Aviary. After seeing all the birds we then visited the small selection of amusement park rides there. We had a lot of fun. Look forward to more posts about other fun field trips we enjoy this summer.

Zachary, Wendy, and Eric on the carousel. Zachary picked the Zebra, Eric named his horse Seesaw, Wendy was so cute holding on to the pole.

The boys also rode on the little airplane ride. Eric requested the shark plane.

It's time for a change!

I thought I would make a few changes on how the blog looks, and learn how to do a few new things. Here is my first attempt at making photos popup in a new window. Hopefully I'll continue to learn and it will be more and more exciting to read the Flamm Family Fun Blog.

Wendy's Birthday!

Wendy celebrated her first birthday on Tuesday, June 22nd. How this year with her has flown. She loved the little piano she received, and the basket full of picnic supplies from Grandma and Grandpa Flamm was a hit. She loved putting things in and taking them back out. Wendy is getting close to walking, she has the balance, but has not mustered the courage to go it on her own. I think she figures there is no reason when she can get anywhere she wants crawling.



Wendy visited the doctor the day after her birthday. She weighs 17 lbs 3 oz. and is 27 1/2 in. tall. This puts her in the 2nd and 8th percentiles respectively. She is small like all my kids at this stage, but she sure is cute.

Happy Birthday Wendy!!!!

Girl's Camp

Life's an Adventure: Be Strong
The Super Hero Way

I had a wonderful time last week at Girl's Camp. We went to the Cub River Ranger Station which was a beautiful place and had great amenities. The first night, Wednesday, it poured. We even had grape sized hail. It was also freezing!!!! But the weather just kept getting better from there on out. By Friday some of us were getting sunburns. I love the group of girls with whom I get to associate. They are so kind to one another and willing to help. Camp is such a wonderful time to really get to know one another and learn to love one another more. I would have to say that on those two accounts camp was successful. We also had a great time learning about becoming Super Heroes and learning about our Savior who is our biggest Hero. Here are pictures of Eric and Zach in my superhero cape when I returned. Mine had a smiley face on the back with the letters HOPE, they stood for Happy, Optimistic, Positive, Exemplar. That was my super hero identity. We had a lot of fun!!

Happy Birthday Eric!

Eric is now 3!! He had two great days of birthday fun. Saturday, the day before his birthday, he had the official party. Both sets of grandparents, the Flamm great grandparents, Emily, Brad, Judd, and all but the youngest Flamm cousin came to celebrate. He had a volcano cake, and received a treasure box full of goodies. Then on Sunday, he was able to request what he wanted for dinner. He wanted spaghetti and pancakes. Dad supplied both.  He made the pancakes sweet with chocolate chips so it was his birthday cake. What fun!!!

Action from the Marvelous month of May

Here is the Flamm Family in action. I hope you enjoy seeing the fun that we had in May!!


Snow!

This first clip is after the ward father and sons camp-out. It was held May 21st, and it snowed. They ended up leaving for home at about 5 in the morning because their tent caved in because of the snow. Kyle said that it did not even wake up the boys. We got the tent out to put it up to dry and found pockets of snow. A snow ball fight in May, What FUN!!!

Water Fun!

Here we are at the end of the month playing in the sprinkler. Wendy got wet, but decided she liked the dirt better, so she ended up a mess. The boys loved getting wet and spraying each other. Kyle had a great time controlling the water and surprising the boys. They would put things over the sprinkler and then Kyle would wait and turn it up so that it would spray off. They had a lot of fun!

Bubbles!

Bubbles are always fun. Zachary and Eric can spend enormous amounts of time chasing and popping bubbles.

The Beach!

Family at the beach!! All the kids and adults loved visiting the beach in Florida this month. Eric was very interested in finding shells, Kyle was nice enough to spend time walking along the beach with him in search of the perfect shell. Zachary loved the sand, the water, the people, the boats, the atmosphere. He had a great time! Wendy surprised me by having no qualms about getting dirty. She loved the mud, and amazingly did not try to eat it.

Disney World!

We did not take too many videos of our time in Disney World, but here are a couple that at least demonstrate we were there. The first is on the ride "It's a Small World". The second is the act in the Italy section of Epcot. Zachary was able to participate twice and really enjoyed it. the act was a bit long so I spliced it.

Hope you enjoyed being a part of the Flamm Family Fun action.
Have a wonderful day!
