Summer Fun!

So far this summer we haven't done anything super exciting since our big trip is still coming up. Somehow we have managed to have a little fun regardless of not really going anywhere. Here is what we have been up to:

Dad was supposed to be getting Brooky ready for church. Her hair is getting long on top and he was having fun making it into a Mohawk. 

Good thing she decided to skip the rock concert and come to church instead. :)

Just a cute pic of Brooky thinking about something.

We made Madagascar Jello jigglers. Zaya thought it was a blast.

He loves any kind of treats if you can't tell. :)

4th of July!

Enjoying being at the breakfast the stake held at our church.

It was really yummy. They had crepes, pancakes, waffles, eggs, fruit, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, and all sorts of stuff. They even made dessert crepes at the end!

They had a bike parade for the kids. We didn't bring zaya's trike, so he had fun following around his friend and watching everyone else.

Do you see how happy he is even though he doesn't have anything to ride?

And here is why...I think he drank at least three cups of juice for breakfast and spilled lots of it on himself too. :)

He loved sitting and watching this dog.

Later in the day our friends the Zinnegers had us over for a BAR-B-Q and fireworks. We were going to swim too, but it turned out to be a cold day. I think that is one of the first times it has been cold for me on the 4th of July. Then we watched the fireworks after dark. Brooky did well until some people let some off not too far from us. Then she just couldn't take any more, so we went home and put her to bed. It was a nice fun relaxing day and it was fun to be able to have dad home to relax with us instead of going to work.

We have fun enjoying the pool whenever we can. It is hard for me to take both kids to the pool because I can't be in the water with Zaya and helping Brooky on the side at the same time, so it is nice when our friends can come over and swim with us.

Zaya excited to go swimming.

Enjoying a go-gurt by the pool

Happy even though she can't get in the water. :) Her three little teeth crack me up.

I made some chocolate pudding and had to give her some to try. I didn't want to make her a chocolate cake for her birthday if she didn't like chocolate. Sure enough...she likes it! :)

Sweet girl! Stay tuned for pictures of her eating her chocolate birthday cake.
