July

Here are just some random fun pics of what we have been up to lately!

Dinner with cousins to celebrate July Birthdays!  HAppy birthday Jade, Melanie and RAchie!

I love when Dawson sits on the stairs like this, so cute!  I use to do this when I was little....

One night I had to run to Gordmans to buys some gifts and Dawson saw this lawn mower...and it was over.  He had to have it!  (Jesse tells me not to give in!  Ops!)

He mowed the lawn for a hour, i'm serious!
Dawson's first band aide!  :(  He fell at the park and it took a while to heal....

He points to it and says "ouch!"

For the 24th we went to 7 peaks and than that night went to Wing nuts to eat, lets just say Jesse enjoyed his wings.  :)

Jesse also did some fire works for us, so cool!  Dawson kept saying, "Blue!"  the blue ones were his fav I guess!
 We also got Dawson his first pair of underwear!  I kept calling them pannies, and Jesse wasn't liking that.  Sorry Jesse, UNDERWEAR  :)  pannies are for girls I guess.  Ops.

He is looking huge in his crib!  :(

And we are doing lots of bike riding!  :)  Loving summer!  July was good to us.

Sandy hair and sunscreen

    My family just got back from our annual bear lake beach trip!  It was so much fun.  Everyone went except Mel and Trevor, we missed them!
    Barb, Jade, Jensen, my Mom, Dawson and I got up there Friday around 12:30.  We went to the beach the first second we got.  We love the water and sand!  Dawson immediatly loved scooping up the sand with the shovel.  Everyone else showed up at different times.  We than had yummy food, played games and enjoyed each others company.
     Saturday we woke up and ate and than headed down to the beach.  We had fun for hours on the sand.  Making sand castles, finding shells, talking, throwing the ball, floating in the boats and hanging out.  Jesse and I took Dawson to the pool for a while and than went and ate lunch.  Than we went back down to the beach.  Dawson and Jensen love/hate each other!  They both had lots of sand in their hair because of each other.  Crazy boys!
    I didn't get many pictures at the beach sadly.  I forgot my phone case and didn't want to get sand in it!
Saturday morning Dawson woke up at four and him and I went for a nice walk.  It was fun to watch the sun rise.

He loved the play ground on the beach.

   That night we all went out to get pizza and shakes!  We love doing that.  So much fun!
Than we came back and played games and hung out.  The next day was Sunday and some of us headed to sacrament.  I have never seen so many people in the building!  Every room was full!  It was neat.  When we got back we went out on the lawn and played ladder ball and pass.  The kids played on the play ground.  Than a few of us headed to the pool!

Daddy is cool!

  Sadly Jesse, Karen, Steve, Kevin, and Jared had to leave sunday night.  The night morning we did more sand time!  :)  We loved every second of it!
This was my cute little sleeper Monday morning

We loved bear lake!

4th of July

    The night before the 4th we all go up to Laura's house and have a camp out in her backyard.  It's lots of fun.  We had yummy cafe rio salads, ate ice cream floats, watched fireworks, had a outdoor movie and just hung out.  I sadly didn't charge my camera, so I only have a few pictures that I took on my phone.  Jesse and I slept outside in our tent.  I only lasted till about 2, than I went inside cuz the wind was so loud I couldn't sleep!  Than Dawson woke up at 4.  Stinker!

Watching the fireworks!  He loved them!

The 4th we woke up and had a yummy breakfast of eggs, pancakes, egg mcmuffins and bacon.  Than we all went swimming!  We love to swim.
  That night we went to Chucks and Lori's house and had a BBQ..... so yummy and so much fun.

These two wild monkeys are basically impossible to get a good picture of together!

Addie is a cutie!

Jesse and Dawson caught the parachute man!

It was a great 4th!  So grateful for this land I live in!

Yummy 4th of july popsicle!  :)  Gone!

Brighton Cabin

    Jesse, Dawson, Lori, Chuck, Jacob, Jake, Melanie, Ethen, Jennica, Brad, Addie and I just got back from spending three days up at the Flamm Brighton Cabin.  It was so much fun.  It is sooo pretty up there too.  We got up there Saturday night and had pizza and hung out.  The boys all went on a bike ride and the girls all went on a nice little hike up to dog lake.  It was really pretty and fun.  We stayed up till about 12 and played games. The next day we went to church and than just hung out all day.  It was nice and relaxing.  Dawson loved it up there.  We brought him his bike and he loved riding that in the dirt.  He loved playing with Addie as well.  He was saying "Addie" contantly.

We played a lot of ladder ball as well.  The boys were funny and would play high stakes.  Meaning the losing team would have to put there feet in the river for one minute.  I could barely last 20 seconds!  It was freezing!

On Monday the girls did a cute craft for the 4th of july.  They are firecrackers made out of wood.  Really cute.  IT was nice of Lori to get us all the supplies for them!

We even saw a moose!
Jesse, Dawson and I hiked up to lake mary on monday night.  It was really pretty and a good hike.  Dawson loved the back pack carrier that Jenn and Brad let us barrow.  Than Monday night we stayed up late again playing games.  We had a good time, lots of laughs and yummy treats.
It was a wonderful weekend.
