My Birthday

On our Lagoon trip Josh dropped my camera and it broke. My sweet husband let me pick out a new camera for my birthday present, he along with my family paid for it. It is awesome!!! From here on out, the pictures will be great! I thought a picture of my cake would be great...but I deleted it on accident. I have gotten the same cake for every birthday as long as I can remember (an oreo ice cream cake). My friend Wendy also brought me an amazing cupcake from Dipidee's. I ate it too quickly to take a picture :)

Lagoon

For Mike's birthday, he wanted to take us all to Lagoon. Mike & I have not been there since High School. Cassady was really brave and went on SOME of the bigger rides. I forced Josh to go on a kiddy ride that went somewhat high and he swore never to do that again. Isaac loved everything he was allowed to ride. He especially liked the hellicopter. He tells me all the time now that he wants to ride the hellicopter again. Mike and I will have to go again for date night to be able to ride the adult rides together. That is just another excuse for us to get away together. YES!

Trip to the Zoo







We took a trip to the Zoo this month. The kids had a blast. Most of the time Mike and I pushed all 3 kids in the zoo stroler...what good excersize (for us, not them). Isaac was especially excited this year because he is seeing them for the first time. He loves books and reads all about animals in them. Mike and Cassady had to pick out these Japanese hats. For the record...I HATE them. Mike wears his everytime he does any type of yard work. I think he wears it to bug me :)

The Kid's Piano Recital




Cassady and Josh had their summer piano recital this month. They both worked really hard to prepare for this. They even had to practice while they were on vacation with their daddy Kirt and mommy Sarah. The only part they did not like was the duet. They did the duet together. Josh cried for a couple of weeks saying "I will do a duet with ANYONE but not Cassady. It worked out great and they both did a terrific job. Their piano teacher, Andrea is amazing!!! She has helped the two of them to improve a great deal in the last year. We all love her.

Joshua's Baptism Pictures

Joshua's Baptism

On Saturday, July 5th Josh was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was a wonderful day for him. He was baptized by his dad, Kirt and confirmed by his other dad, Mike. We had so many of our family members and a friend (Andrea) attend. We had a lunch just afterward at the pavilion. Josh looked so grown up that day, he makes us so proud. Sorry about some of the pictures...I took them in front of a picture thinking it would look good and did not account for the flash showing up in the glass.

4th of July Pictures

4th of July

We have a tradition on the 4th of July of going to the Balloon show in Provo. We like to watch the hot air balloons being filled up and then taking of. It is really early in the morning so pictures turn out great. This year we got there late so we just got there in time to see them take off but it was still beautiful. The kids love it. The night before, Cassady & I did our toenails to match each other...they look like a flag.
