July 2013

Dallin left for his mission to Hungary, and we went to Idaho so Trevor could shadow a PA he knows up there and to visit his family. It was a good month! We also found out that we are having a girl! :) And we had lots of fun with family at BBQ's, parades, and having Kimberly's kids stay with us for a week while they went on Trek in Wyoming as a Ma and Pa. It was a great time!

Paxton has found a new reading spot.

We went to "Jump On It" for the first time with my sister-in-law Cyndi and her son Michael. It was a blast. :)

Trying out the carousel

Paxton just chilling, and looking SUPER cute. And yes, just in case anyone is wondering, he STILL drools tons. Lame.

At the Provo parade with Grandma (and Grandpa, Dallin, Emily, Duane and his 3 kids)

In Idaho. We had planned a picnic with Zola, our 94 year old adopted grandma, but she cancelled last minute, so Trevor's parents and sister came instead. We went to the Green Belt which is a lovely place right by the Idaho Falls LDS temple where the Snake River passes through and they have their beautiful waterfalls. It's beautiful. :)
Here are Fuzz and I with the yummy food. :)

Paxton loved all the ducks and kept running off. You had to run to keep up with him so he wouldn't fall into the river. 

While Kimberly's kids were here, we went to Pizza Pie Cafe for a pizza buffet lunch. Braden ate his last piece and felt like he was going to throw up. He was moaning and groaning about it the whole way up to Bridal Veil Falls where the kids wanted to play in the water. It was funny because he just kept saying how he shouldn't have ate that last piece of pizza. :) This is him outside our car before trekking up\ to the waterfall. He told me he was going to throw up and sat like this for a few minutes. He looked like he might. I thought I better capture the moment. :) Luckily, once we started walking he started feeling better.

Here are Kelsey (in pink), Willy (orange), Trev (blue), and Pax (red) playing in the water.

We went to the Steel Days parade the last day they were here and saw 3 hot air balloons. It brought me back to my childhood. It was fun seeing them again.

The kids entered the kids race last minute. We didn't sign them up, so no shirts for them. Oops. They did great though. Here is the pack of kids at the start. You see my mom in the bottom right corner, and Duane is right in front of her with Danny on his shoulders. He ran in the toddler race before this. 

We ran to the other side of the block to see them pass, but missed Willy. I got Kelsey running luckily. :) She is the one with White hair, blue shirt, skirt and cute shoes on, and necklace bouncing. Just because she is running a race, doesn't mean she can't look ADORABLE. ;)

Willy coming into the finish. He was the first to finish out of him and Kelsey.

Here comes Kelsey into the finish line.

Braxton came a little bit later, and was confused when we were all cheering. He stopped running thinking we were the end. He DID finish though. :)

Carly was right behind Braxton. That is her from behind wiht the ponytail. They did great! :)

Enjoying popsicles in the heat while watching the parade.

Cute Willy with Paxton at the parade, sharing his hat

Cute Paxton!

We LOVED having Kimberly's kids here. They were so fun and so helpful! They were so good with and to Paxton and we hope to have them stay with us again sometime! :) Hopefully we will have a bigger place when that happens though, so they can enjoy it more. :) (The first night they got here, Braden kept making comments about how small it was and asked questions like "Is this clean to you?" and "Do you guys have a bathroom?" HAHAHAHA. Trev and I laughed for a good 20 minutes before bed quoting him.)
