We had a busy, fun time this past week:

Firsta days carnival! Pink face painting to match a pink roller coaster

Baby Jaxon is one!! Chris and Kristin had a super cute birthday party for him!

The girls playing at the birthday party. They are cute little friends and so lucky to have cousins their same age.

Thursday:

Uncle Stefan put on a firework show at our house for Pioneer Day (July 24)

Saturday:

One of my favorite summer time meals is meatloaf and cream peas and potatoes. My grandma Marion made the BEST cream peas and potatoes and I can't help but remember her whenever I make them. 

Summer Fun

Jason and I both have the next month off for summer break! It will be fun to have time off together. 

I had preschool registration, this is what I handed out to the kiddos who came

We moved the booster chairs to the big table so we can all sit together. It's been good so far...

These are the faces Knloe makes ALL the time!

Taysom is SOOO long! He is already in 3-6 months clothes. The girls did not grow out of sizes nearly as quick. 

He loves it outside! 

This is what our mornings start out like and we love it!

Taysom is 2 months old

Taysom is getting so big! 

It's been really hot this week between 95-105 degrees. It's too hot to go outside to play during the day...we stayed inside and took "macaroni and CHEESE" selfies! 

Taysom is 2 months old today! He had grown 4 inches and gained 5 lbs. He is such a happy, calm little guy! We sure love him! 

Celebrating America at The Little America

PPP

Jason planned a little 4th of July over night trip to the Little America Hotel in SLC. We ate dinner, went swimming and watched all the Salt Lake fireworks shows from our 10th floor balcony! I loved watching in my PJs and eating some yummy chocolate cake! We had a great view of TONS of fireworks but I could not get a good picture. 

Khloe said "I love staying at this palace"

4th of July Family Party

Digging for money in sawdust. A 40 year tradition. It was my FAVORITE when I was a kid and I'm so glad my kids get to experience it too.

Bridal Veil Falls

We took the kids to have a picnic and hike up to Bridal Veil falls. It was so pretty and fun. I was so happy to have my triple jogger stroller! It was the best purchase. It's heavy and awkward to fold but I am so happy to have it! We go walk the track every morning with it and have taken it on a few outings. With Jason working this summer, it makes it easier to take all three kids out by myself. 

First night of fireworks

Jason bought a small pack of fireworks since we could start lighting them July 1. Uncle Stefan is doing his usual B I G Ariel firework show Saturday night. 

Khloe loves lighting fireworks every night so far this week!

Marion stole Khloe's bike and helmet! 

Baby Taysom is all smiles outside.
