Bake Sale

Saturday July 10th Mel's neighborhood had a garage sale and since we didn't have anything to sell, Mel thought it would be fun to do a bake sale. So we cooked over 141 cookies and made some Gatorade "lemonade." The boys loved selling the cookies. We made Chocolate Crinkles, Snickerdoodles, and Chocolate Chip (my favorite).

Reunited with Apex

Friday July 9th, Taelin and I got to go say hello to some old friends of mine at APEX ALARM. I love these girls. Annette was so kind and saved a food ticket so we could have lunch as well. Thanks sis, it was so fun!

swimming and SPAGHETTI

Thursday we went to this awesome Water Fountain park in Alpine Utah. Taelin wasn't a big fan of it because the water was really cold. Jaden and Kyler really liked it though. It was a hot day, so we had a good time. At least Taelin let me hold him while I was still sitting in the water and getting sun. I LOVE BEING OUTSIDE!

Taelin not being a huge fan of it....

Happy if i hold him:)

Jaden and Kyler wondering what to do...Jaden liked to step on the fountain.

What the park looked like

After we were done, we went home and had SPAGHETTI! this was Taelin's first time eating it and he REALLY liked it! It was all over. Here are some pics of it.

So happy to try new food!:)

LOVED IT!

testing it out with his fingers....

WHOOPS...dropped it!


it got in his hair



I'M SO HAPPY THAT HE LOVED IT!:)

APT

So Taelin went to an apt and he is FINALLY AT 17 LBS! what a little guy. He is 27 5/8 in tall, and so that makes him in the 5% for it all. They had to prick his finger to test his iron, and he was a champ the whole way though. He was more interested in just watching the lady, and absolutley LOVED THE BAND-AID! He didn't cry one time..except when i told him that he couldn't eat the band-aid. What a silly little guy.

He was eating the band-aid....i told him no...so this happened....

what a sad little boy

but then he was happy, and STOOD ALL BY HIMSELF! go TAELIN

He is growing up way to fast for me!

Random pics and Videos in UTAH

This was Taelin's first time playing in a little kiddie pool, it took him awhile to get use to the water, but once he did he LOVED it. it was fun with Jaden and Kyler too. They really liked to tease Macie and chase her around the yard. We had a great time!

He loves to climb, so of course he wanted to climb out of the pool

He did pretty good.

taelin loved to try and give Macie a toy

All of them swimming, even Macie wanted to join them. :)

4th of July!!!!!!!!

This 4th of July was so much fun!! I loved spending it in Utah. It all started Saturday July 3rd with Mel's neighborhood bike parade. All of the kids in the neighborhood decorate their bikes or 4 wheelers or scooters for the 4th of July and they ride around the block, and then come back and have this really big breakfast. Mel let me ride her bike that had a bike trailer attached to it so Taelin could sit in so I could pull him. HE LOVED IT! It was so much fun!

Taelin's first time riding in a bike trailer. it was so much fun! I WANT ONE SO BAD! THANKS MEL!




This was Taelin's morning outfit, thanks Grandma Nelson

Taelin doesn't like both of his legs to be on the grass, she he always lifts one leg up, it's really cute.

He LOVED playing with his Auntie MEL!

After the parade we came back to the house and played outside with Macie until it was time to go to the stadium of Fire.


This is his NIGHT outfit that Grandma Nelson got for him. Daddy's little Firecracker:) So cute!
We left around 5:00, and traffic was CRAZY! We brought some chips and the boys brought their bikes to play with until it started.




Mel got this open parking spot that was only 3 min away from the stadium. :) The hard thing was that we had SO much to carry, and the whole walk was downhill, so the little boys were having a hard time. But we made it, and it was GREAT!

Mel even brought the tent for the little boys. It was fun!

Carrie Underwood performed at the stadium and Mindy and I went to take a close peek at her. She is such a good singer. We loved it!

The firework show started around 10:00 and it was so AWESOME! This was Taelin's first time seeing fireworks and he did better than i thought:) He was super tired, so all he wanted to do was cuddle. Some were to loud for him, so I plugged his ears, then he was happy:) He loved to look at the bright lights though. These fireworks are the best ever! It last for so long too. We thought it got done at 1025, so we started walking back to our car, but then the FINALE started, and it was so good! it lasted 1o min! I LOVED IT! I could watch fireworks all day long! They are just so pretty. It was so much fun having Mindy come into town for the weekend too! Loved having all 4 of us sisters together:) WAHOO!

This is what Taelin's shirt looked like at the end of the night...super slobbery! that's what you get when you are cutting teeth i guess. haha

Taelin liked it when i would plug his ears. some of the fireworks were way to loud for his little ears.

SOOO PRETTY! love the willow tree ones!
