three

As of Saturday, Evan is officially a three year old! We had a really fun weekend celebrating him and his big day. We started off the day with waffles with whip cream and sprinkles. 

The highlight of his weekend was definitely finally getting his new Lightning McQueen bike and helmet. I don't think the kid walked all day-he rode his bike to the bathroom, rode his bike to the fridge-everywhere. He got lots of other fun toys too, but he loves his new bike.

After lunch, a couple of his little buddies came over for cake and ice cream. Since they're still so young, I didn't bother to do games or anything. Just hyped them up on sugar and let them run around.

Don't you watch your favorite movie sitting on your bike with a helmet on?! LOVES his bike.

We finished off our day with dinner at Wendy's and a good friend's wedding reception. It was a really fun day and we were all exhausted at the end.

He's only been three for a couple days, but he's already my very favorite three year old

God Bless America!

We LOVE the 4th of July in our house! It's such a fun time of the year with fun things to do and I love the feeling of love and pride for our wonderful country. We had a fun day and made sure to keep up with traditions!

We started off our day up the canyon to take Evan fishing! He actually stay interested in it a lot longer than we thought he would, but we still didn't get any bites.

We came home so Audrey could get her naps in and to cool off with some Otter Pops. And we did a few sparklers. Evan thought they were pretty awesome!

Our All-American girl

Then just like we do every year, we had a yummy BBQ with Reed's nearby siblings and their families followed by the BYU men's soccer game and fireworks! We had a lot of fun!

Audrey sucking on a glow stick during the fireworks-she had no idea that fireworks were even going off!

Happy Birthday America!

H2O

We've been having a warm summer here, so we've been doing our best to stay cool. Here are some of our favorite ways to beat the heat so far this year:

Playing in the hose

Playing in the fountains at Riverwoods

 And a family favorite, visiting Bridal Veil Falls!

So many rocks to throw!

 Rocks to sit on

 The bigger the rock, the better!

 Evan loved walking back and forth across these rocks with Mom

 And we're being sure to stay hydrated!

 And Miss Audrey has mostly just tried to stay in the shade to keep cool

We sure love summer!

Evan went from this in time out...

Recent Favorites

Here are some of my favorite recent pictures-these 2 are so fun!

Poor Audrey...

 Not the greatest picture, but Evan's face is so cute! He wanted me to take individual pictures of all the toys in the room

 Probably getting into trouble

 First veggies-carrots!

 Playing together (kinda)

 Audrey having a blast, but apparently catching Evan at a bad moment

 This skirt is one of the first things I bought when I found out we were expecting a girl-so excited it finally fits!

 Audrey loves grabbing her toes-which are painted pink!

Vegas

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long, but I'm finally posting about our quick trip to Vegas a couple weeks ago. We went down to be with family for the blessing of our newest nephew. Evan loved playing with 2 of his cousins and his Uncle Trae and my parents! We had a great trip and even though it took about a week, we've all recovered. Here's some pictures!

One of the kids' favorite activities was pushing Audrey around in the doll stroller. Audrey didn't mind it, despite the worried look on her face.

 These cute cousins had so much fun together. They got to go on a long walk with Grandpa. One of the best moments of the trip was when they all came back wearing leis with a bag of M&Ms in one hand and a pinwheel in the other!

 Little Miss Audrey got to try to pool out. She looked adorable, but the water was a little too cold for her liking. 

We ventured out one morning to go visit the new bridge at the Hoover Dam. It was pretty cool.

Later that afternoon we spent a little time walking around the Strip. Evan really liked the fountains at the Bellagio. Personally, I prefer the real Bellagio in Italy!

We had so much fun and were so glad we were able to visit with family. Thanks to everyone who fed us, housed us, and played with my kids! We'll have to do it again sometime!
