Bees Game

We look forward to our annual visit to the Bees game (thanks to Grandma's work for the picnic & tickets). It was a relaxing summer night and the boys had a lot of fun.

4th of July

I was bent on making sure we got to see some real fireworks this year. We staked out a spot at Sugar House park early in the morning and then spent the evening there listening to the concerts and eating lots of junk. The boys did great, even though it was a late night for them. I can't believe how good little Connor was!

Andrew's Summer Party

We had our first "friend" party to celebrate Andrew's 7th birthday. We invited the neighbor kids and some friends from Andrew's 1st grade class - in all we had 19 kids at the party! We tried to keep things really low-key and it actually turned out to be a lot of fun and not as crazy as I thought it was going to be!

The Minsons (B.J. & Maggie) drew chalk art on the lovely concrete wall surrounding our townhomes. We filled a kiddie pool with water and shooters...






Then there was a slip n slide...

We didn't have time to make a cake this year and since Andrew doesn't like frosting, we got an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins

We had hot dogs, chips & fruit for dinner...




Then Andrew opened his gifts...

Here was the chalk art before it got demolished...

My Helper

Andrew is so helpful. He looks after Connor and is so protective of him. Sometimes I get impatient about it because he's sometimes too helpful, but I appreciate Andrew - what a great big brother he is.

Connor's First Haircut

He looks like such a little man in these pictures, I can't believe it. All growed up at 9 months old.
