WARNING...watch your kids...

We had a scary moment on Saturday with Sophie. We had a miss-communication between Bodi and I. He told me to send Sophie out to the pool, so I did. He didn't know she was there and then left the backyard. She thinks she can swim so she jumped off the diving board without her swim egg on. She tried to swim but didn't make it. Luckily our friend Heidi was outside and noticed her in the water. She jumped in with her clothes on to save her. It was a scary moment. So please watch your kids around water. This was a close call that I will never forget. I am so grateful that Heidi was there and paying attention!

Week 33...

a little late...

Bridger's Zoo Party...

Bridger turns 2 today, but on Friday we went to the zoo to celebrate. He wasn't too sure about opening his presents...

until he saw his Thomas trains! He loved them.

I had to post a picture of the new baby giraffe. She was so cute!

Laynie spit her passy into the Lemur cage. We couldn't get it back. Bye, bye passy!

We took a ride on the carousel. Bridger didn't like it much but the girls loved it.
Laynie was not very happy about getting off the carousel!

Can't go to the zoo without measuring up to the apes.

Of course the kids had to play with the water ball to end the day.

She is so cute!

Happy Birthay to all the August birthdays! Mom, Colton, Emily, Anne, Gage,Jake, Gussie, Bridger & Jackson!

Oh Sophie...

I feel so bad for my girls...they inherited my clumsiness. Sophie got knocked over by the dog and hit the sidewalk. This is what happened.... ...but this is what she was crying about. She didn't even know that she hit her head.

My 5:

1. Going to Tuacahn.

2. Being back into my bed

3. Fresh garden veggies

4. Cupcakes

5. 70 degree day!

Mom's 50th Birthday Weekend...

My Mom has started a tradition of going down to St. George to celebrate her birthday. We had such a great trip this year! Here is how it went.
Day 1:
Rachel and I stuffed our kids and all our stuff into her car and drove down to St. George. Sophie was such a good sport because she was back in her little hole the whole time. She was surrounded by all our stuff.
Day 2: The Big 50 Day!
Rachel and I started out the day by going to the Bloomington splash pad. (didn't bring the camera)
Then after naps we had a little skinny dippin in the back yard of the condo.

Then it was off to Claim Jumper for dinner to celebrate the birthday girl. It was so great that some of her AZ friends Sue, Sharron and Shirley were able to come up to celebrate with us.

Jan made sure that everyone knew who's birthday it was!

Next it was off to the show at Tuacahn. We went to see Annie. It was so much fun!

Before the show started Rachel and I surprised Mom with some cupcakes from 25 Main. Soooo Yummy! We also sang to her...she loved it!

This was Sophies first musical. She was so cute. During the show she was singing the songs and in awe of everything. She thought she was so lucky because she got to meet the cast. Here she is with Daddy Warbucks and Miss Hanagan.

And the star of the show....Annie

Day 3:

I took the girls to the St. George Temple visitors center. Both of them were so cute when we saw the statue of Christ. Laynie got super excited and started pointing. Sophie said "I love Jesus".

Later it was off to 25 Main for some more cupcakes. (they really are the best cupcakes I have ever had)

Then we had another swim party in the back yard. This time it was a cross-dressing party. Yes this is Bridger in Laynies swim bottoms. He loved them!Off to the show again. This time we went to Footloose. It was sooo much fun. I loved all the music and couldn't help myself from singing. Guess who the main character was who played Rein??? It was Thayne from SYTYCD! I was so excited. He did such a great job!

Day 4:

Driving home......this is Laynie sleeping for 10 minutes. She is a little stinker!

Happy Birthday Mom! Thanks for turning 50 so that we could go celebrate and have a super fun weekend!

Take a look at this...

Look what I found in the garden today! It is huge!
