What we've been up to in the past six weeks......
Snuggling Max. This kid gets more love than I ever imagined (and it's definitely TOO much love sometimes...poor kid). :)
The kids are loving our garden. They loved picking all of the snap peas and eating them right there. And Emma loves to go out every day and see what's ripe. Gardens are great. Too bad we can't have them year-round.
The Fourth of July was spent with my family this year. It was so fun to spend this day together! I'm so glad they were out here for it.
We did patriotic crafts,
jumped on the tramp,
colored with Aunt Ali (the best colorer in the universe),
watched the neighbors' fireworks, followed by going over to watch the city's fireworks show. It was great!
Even Max enjoyed his first Fourth of July, chillin' with his papa.
Ben turned ___ (I'll let you guess how old he is...). Happy birthday! We went to Tucano's with my parents (minus kids) and enjoyed lunch and a raucous happy birthday song. Isn't Ben awesome with that tambourine???
We had a family reunion for my mom's side of the family. We ate dinner at a park and then had the entire Lehi pool to ourselves from 9-11pm that night. It was late and the kids were tired, but we had a blast. Luke especially loved squirting my mom in the face with these little fountains.
We took a trip to Cascade Springs one afternoon. So pretty up there.
Heritage Park in Cedar Hills is always a fun place to visit in the summertime.
New cowgirl hats! Aren't they stinkin' cute???
We blessed Max! We were able to bless him just before a family reunion so many extended family were able to attend and participate in the blessing. It was great! Doesn't he look so handsome in his little white tux???
I got to meet my new nephew, Michael, five months old. He's so cute!
My grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with a bang. We had a beautiful dinner catered by Magleby's, formal family portraits, and a dance DJed by none other than my sweet bro, Cameron. It was so much fun! This is my papa with Luke.
Getting down at the dance!
We've been swimming quite a bit, especially for having a new baby. We swam at the Lehi aquatics center, the pool at my parents' timeshare in Park City, and we tried out the Lindon Aquatics center (which we loved!!!).
A trip to Bridal Veil Falls with our best buddies.
We checked out the new and improved walkway south of BYU campus. There is a beautiful little creek running alongside it and five gorgeous waterfalls. It ends at the Botany Pond where turtles, fish, and ducks abound.
We then ate lunch at Brick Oven. Yummy root beer floats!!!
I know there weren't too many pictures of Max in this post. He deserves his own post, which hopefully I'll be able to get up in the next few days. He's getting so big already!
