July 24th Weekend

Since I now live in Utah I get the 24th of July off as a holiday...woohoo!! I took the kids to Cherry Hill Friday afternoon while Joey and Riley went target shooting with the boys. When we got home we packed up and went to Idaho for a quick trip to visit the grandparents. We came home Saturday night just in time to watch the fireworks out the window. I tried to take some pictures of the fireworks but apparently my camera will not do dark nighttime pictures.


Cayden chillin' in the pool.

No I am not peeing in the pool mom!


Kylee posing for the camera. Ever the little model!

I love this picture. It actually looks like they are staying still for a minute and looking so lonely. I think they are missing their little friends in the neghborhood and hoping to find them somewhere in the pool.

what do we do now?

Cayden and Kylee frog jumping across the pool. Notice the frog in the bottom of the picture...probably thinking 'you're doing it all wrong, let me show you how it is done!'.

Clinton Days Parade

The Clinton City Parade was Saturday, July 18th after a week full of events. We only had to walk a block from our house to watch the parade. The little neighbor boy, Jackson (aka - our new adopted addition to the household!) wanted us to sit by him. He is a sweet little guy that is the same age as Cayden. The two play so cute together and it is great that Cayden has a friend to play with. I hope they can grow to be good friends as they get older.

We took the kids over to the carnival in the afternoon and then watched the fireworks later that night, but forgot the camera.

Cayden, Kylee and Jackson dancing to the music that the DJ was playing. I do not know what the name of the song was, but it was basically patterned after the hockey pockey.

I think the first half of the parade was made up of all the small cities fire departments in the area. There was ALOT of fire trucks and ambulances and it was VERY loud. Grandma, Cayden and Jackson thought it was too loud because they were all covering their ears. LOL.

There was a guy walking in the parade with his dog. Jackson, not being the least bit shy, went up to the guy and asked him if he could pet the dog. We were completely shocked when Cayden went and petted the dog too. There may be hope for the kid yet to overcome his fear of dogs.

Funny story about the water bottle that Kylee is holding. One of the cars driving in the parade was throwing them out at the audience. Kylee and Jackson did not get one as it drove by and decided they should have one so they both ran up to the car and asked for one. My little girl has definately overcome her shyness.

This was one of the last floats in the parade. I thought it was pretty cool.

And last, but definatley not least is little Emma taking a relaxing siesta in the stroller.

Emma'sBlessing

Emma was blessed by her Daddy on June 28, 2009. We had lots of family and friends come and share in the day with us. It was great to be supported. After the blessing we all went to the park and had lunch and let the kids play. It was a beautiful day and not too hot. The menu included sloppy joe's, macaroni shrimp salad, spagetti salad, cantalope and brownies.

Family and friends that came to share in the day was Nannio and Papa, Nana, Grandma and Grandpa Muir, John and DaNae (&family), Jason and Heather (&family), Paul Chatterton, Hazen Sedgewick, Brian and Jennifer Bowler (&family). We greatly missed everyone else that was not able to make it.

I took pictures of Emma after everyone left and I think she is a beautiful angel...definately not biased though! =P I also made some story boards of the day for her.

Kylee's BIG Bike

Once Kylee learned to ride the bike she insisted that she move up to her big bike right away. She started riding her big bike two days after she learned and begged me to take new pictures on her BIG bike so I could update the blog to make sure everyone saw her on her big bike...too funny. So here is Kylee on her "BIG" bike, standing up while she rides! Isn't she awesome.
