Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime?

We sure can't believe how fast the time goes, especially the dog days of summer.  Since Summer is approaching its end (YEAH!), I thought I'd share some of the fun that I did this summer.

 

Daddy's work went to Lagoon for their summer party.  I was finally able to go on more rides this year, and was just shy of 36 inches, which is where I needed to be to go on more rides.  Oh well, next year, I'll be all over the place!

 

Bulgy the Whale

Some Voltron looking robot ride

Teacups (Daddy was brave enough to go on the ride with us because we didn't spin the cup)

Boats (like father (1982ish), like son (2013))

For the 24th of July, we went up to Kamas (where Grandpa grew up).  We went to the rodeo and watched the fireworks.  I thought it was fun to watch the cows and horses!

We went to our friends' (the Larkins) adoption party.  They just completed their adoption of 5 kids through foster care, and so they threw a big carnival party with popcorn, cotton candy, snow cones, horseback rides, photo booth, face painting, and balloon animals.  It was so much fun, and we are so excited for the Larkins!

We went up the canyon to roast hot dogs.  I had fun picking up rocks and throwing them in the stream.

I LOVE SMORES!

At the beginning of August was Midvale City's Harvest Days.  Daddy grew up in Midvale, so we went back to watch the parade.  (We could have had a really awesome picture when the flag went by because I was putting my hand over my heart, but Daddy didn't think about it - oh well!)

That night, we went to the Ryan Shupe concert at Midvale park.  I had fun dancing all around.

Then there were fireworks after the concert.  I snuggled with Aunt Neenee (Janeen).

With all of the summer activities, it's nice to just sneak in a little nap now and then.

BRING ON FALL!

Fly Fotos

I've been to FotoFly so many times, I can probably count how many times I've been there (I'm learning to count to 5 right now)!  We love FotoFly and they always have such great pictures.  We went to get my 2 year old pictures and I was very grumpy, so Mommy and Daddy were so surprised that they got pictures of me smiling.  Hope you enjoy!



I AM TWO

I turned two this week!  I was very excited to have my mustache bash birthday party, and especially excited to blow out the candles on my cupcake.  Here are some pictures of my party:

 

THE INVITATION

PICTURE TIME! 

PHOTO BOOTH FOR ALL THE GUESTS 

ANYONE HUNGRY? 

TIME TO OPEN PRESENTS!!!!  I was very spoiled.

MAKE A WISH! 

I wish I had icing all over my face

THANKS FOR COMING! 

I also went to see the doctor for my 2-year check up.  Here are my stats:

Height - 35.4" (75% percentile)  I go to Lagoon tomorrow, so I hope to have grown .6" so I can go on the 36" rides
Weight - 29.4 pounds (75% percentile)
Head - 18.8" (35% percentile)

And I'm Proud to Be an American!

I hope everyone had a Happy Independence Day!  I sure had a lot of fun.  We went over to Aunt Jill's house to have a BBQ, and to celebrate my cousin Megan's 16th birthday.  Daddy tried to teach me how to golf.

I preferred to just pick up the balls and drop them into the hole!

Am I the next Lebron James?

After the BBQ, we went home for some fireworks.

They were awesome!



Like REALLY awesome!

After fireworks, we had a Bomb Pop on the front porch while the other neighbors did their fireworks.

Daddy also had Friday off of work, so we went to Seven Peaks (to use our Pass of all Passes).

I had a lot of fun in the kid area!

Drink break!

After all the festivities, sometimes it's nice to just kick back, lay on the couch, and watch some Monsters, Inc.
