During July....

This summer wasn't too busy, then July hit!

Zach decided he likes moving around way too much to just fall asleep in his bed or in someones arms. There have been nights this month were I have had to go to the play room and let him play himself to sleep! This kid is a wiggle worm!


Michael turned 27!!! What a handsome man!!! :)


Samantha learned how to literally "lick her plate clean." She loved the icecream cake we had for Michael's birthday.





Zach has figured out how to grab EVERYTHING!!! He just doesn't stop moving. And boy does he have a reach!



We went to Idaho for the 24th. At Grandma and Grandpa Stone's, Zach had his first popsicle and LOVED it!!! It was the slow melting, mini kind, so it was just perfect for him.


We went to the parade in St. Anthony for the 24th. It was, as always, the best parade we've been to in a while! St. Anthony does parades they way they should be done, with awesome floats and chocolate milk! We also went to the 24th play, Tom Sawyer, because my youngest sister, Eliza, was in it. She did a great job!!!


Zach doesn't seem to care much for parades.


Michael, Samantha, and Zach all experiened their first rodeo! The bull fighting was the best part. We left early though because kids needed sleep!!!


We sat with my good friend, Camilla, and her husband, neices and nephew.


Samantha really enjoyed the rodeo, once she figured out that Brooke wanted to play with her!


Martha, Michael's oldest sister, and her family stopped by last night! It was so fun to see them and show off the house. Samantha cried when they left this morning. She loves playing with Spencer and Trent. We were lucky enough to have them get here on Martha's birthday, so we celebrated with a good dinner and cheesecake!

We are wrapping up the month with me going to girl's camp tomorrow and then we head to Idaho again to spend time with all of Michael's siblings! They haven't all been together in a long time, and I'm really looking forward to it (it's nice to have in-laws that you really like to be around)!

4th of July Weekend

We had a fun, busy 4 of July weekend! Michael has Fridays off so we started the long weekend in Provo at 7 Peaks Water Park. Samantha and Zach had a blast! Michael enjoyed a couple of water slides too. We went with my old roommate, Rachelle, and her little girl. After lunch, we rushed home to clean the house because the Boones were on their way.
Samantha was so excited to play with her cousins!!! They had fun in the water outside and in the playroom inside. I didn't take as many pictures as I should have. I guess that's how is goes.

On Saturday night, we got a babysitter while the adults and Robby went to the Ty Hurndon concert. Charley Jenkins opened for him. We had no idea who he was, but by the time he finished singing, we were all so impressed, we bought CD's. If you like country music, you'll have to check him out! The Boones had to leave that night.



Monday we went to the parade here in Tooele. Zach was really good. He eventually fell asleep.

Samantha liked the horsies the best!

Before the parade started, they handed out flags to everyone. It was really cute to watch Samantha wave her flag at everyone. When the bands went by, Samantha tried to throw her flag around like the girls following the band! It was really funny!!!








There weren't a lot of actual floats in the parade, but there was NOT a lack of candy!!!



Zach just makes the funnest faces!!! I just can't help but share!
