What happened the rest of July

Summer months are always so crazy with so much fun stuff going on. Kyler attended the "2nd annual Toddler Fest" at our neighbors house. Just like last year he spent the entire time playing in the little pool while other kids were on inflatable water slides, doing relay races, face painting, etc.

He did take a break from the pool long enough to throw cups full of water on me at the water table. I was in my work clothes :)
This is just the classic after church picture of Kyler getting his dress clothes off as soon as possible.
On evening Blake walked outside onto our deck and heard really loud birds. As he looked around the sky and fence to see where they were he realized something was on the back lawn. Behind our house is a small farm and the neighbors had baby chickens. The 10 babies could fit under the next door neighbors fence and then came over to our yard but we still have no idea how the mom got in since she couldn't fit and needed help to find her way back out.
We had another Lagoon trip but learned our lesson and didn't take Kyler this time. We went with my brother and his kids while they were visiting from St. George.

The wild mouse broke down while we were on it. We were almost at the bottom but the rest of our family was at the very top.
Zoey started using a walker. :) She can get herself around the kitchen by walking and pushing around the step stool.

Apparently it is really hard work.

Hey look it's Lagoon again. We went to Lagoon a beach this time too with our friends Jason and Heather. We had a lot of fun and realized we must be getting older cause we just can't do the rides all day like we used to!

We went to my employers annual Surf N Swim party. Zoey loves the tub SOOO much but screamed if you even put her foot into the pool. I don't know if it was the temperature or what. So she got to hang out with Grandma and watch.

Kyler did even better than I expected. He hasn't been swimming much since we left Logan and the Sports Academy Pool, but he loved it. The waves were splashing him in the face and even knocked him under the water several times and he'd just get up and go at it again.

We've been talking about it forever but now we really need to get this kid into swimming lessons.

This would be after swimming when he tried on his cousins mask. What a good looking kid!!

For the 24th of July we went to brunch with Blake's family at the Oaks. We seem to go up there at least once a year to enjoy the beautiful scenery and cool weather by the water.

4th of July Weekend

Yes I know that was at least 3 months ago. I'm going to try and do a little catch up so try and stay with the really long posts that are about to come. I never have time to scrapbook anymore so I was using the blog to keep track of events and now I'm slacking at that too.

We started the weekend with Kyler's first hike up Adams Canyon. He seemed to really enjoy it until nap time hit as we were heading back down the hill. Zoey didn't bother to wait until we got back down the hill and crashed about an hour into the hike. Afterwords we went to lunch at what Kyler calls "the new doughnut house". Krispy Kreme is the original "doughnut house". Even with all those choices he always goes for whatever has sprinkles.The next days we went to Kaysville for the festivities. We had pancake breakfast, watched the parade and enjoyed the inflatable slides.
The family waiting for the parade to start. Kyler loved the candy but hated all the loud firetrucks.
Me and Zoey doing some tailgating while Kyler and grandma played on the slides in the hot, hot sun.
