Children's Parade!

We're getting ready for the 4th! We had a fun time at the annual parade this morning! You might recognize these 2 floats from previous years, but we decided since we've stored them for so long, to give them one more "run" before we said good-bye! We have lots of fun memories and pictures on them at least (and trophies!).

Why We Love Summertime...

 1. Falling asleep in the car after an exhausting, busy day (with my shades, of course)!

2. Fishing! And actually CATCHING fish! A fun day with Grandma and Grandpa Ward and Uncle Jason! Topped off with hot dogs and s'mores!

(of course B-Rose was mainly interested in the snacks!)

3. Swim Parties with friends!

4. Cheer Camp and city carnivals!

5. Trips to Colorado to visit Grandma and Grandpa Stewart and the American Girl Doll Store!! (And the Lego store for Ethan and the Moyer boys--forgot to get a picture!)

6. Father's Day!!

7. Soccer Camp with my friend and the "trainers" from Ireland on the "pitch!" "Good lad!"

8. Cute baby doll in summer dresses! Sophia has discovered that she loves taking pictures of her little sister and a lot of them turn out pretty cute! 

9. T-Ball with the super competitive kid who doesn't understand playing "no outs" and not keeping score. "I got that kid out Dad, I touched the base, why is he still there?"

10. There's still more fun to come...!

Soccer and Easter Egg Hunting!

First soccer game of the spring season! Here's Ethan's game! He got a couple goals today and had a fun time!

 One of our awesome neighbors organized this fun, much anticipated Easter egg hunt!

Baby

We are totally enjoying our new little baby doll! She puts up with lots of kisses and slightly rough hugs! We all just love holding her all day long! She's growing too fast for mamma already!

Moab

I was SO glad to have my mom here for almost 2 weeks to help me after Nora was born! She had to go back home after Brynn's birthday party, but luckily we got to see her less than a week later when we all met up in Moab! My parents both ran the 1/2 marathon and we got to spend time with them and Dad got to see the new baby!

 Rubber band guns from Grandma and Grandpa were definitely a "hit!"

 

Brynn is 3!

We had a princess party (of course!) for Brynn's third birthday! Of course, the boys weren't as interested in dressing up, but at least we got one little shark!

Our 3-year-old!

She was very excited to get a big girl scooter!

Playing with her new princesses at the end of a very fun, busy day! We love you B-Rose!
