More Summer

We went to Salt Lake the day before Pioneer Day and walked around temple square. We try to make it there once every few months. I love it there. It always makes me think of where it all started and how grateful I am to have my little family forever. 

Pioneer day we woke up and made a big breakfast. Then we went to the Provo festivities. There was a car show, live music, delicious food and the pioneer village. It was super hot so we didn't stay long, but it was still a lot of fun. I love that it's a paid holiday here in Utah!

Studabaker!!

James was so fascinated with all of the flags. I think I must have replanted 10 of them!

After that we went to feed the duckies.

He has this fascination with trees and plants in general. So cute.

Sometimes when it's too hot outside I take him to the mall to play. He's more interested in this big water ball thing then the playground. 

The vacuum is one of his favorite toys. Especially when it's on! It is extremely difficult to vacuum when a rather fast toddler is chasing you down and trying to stick his fingers in it.

He points at what makes him mad now. In this case it was his Daddy saying that he couldn't have Dr. Pepper. Look at those tears!!

Comfy.

Guilty look.

Playing with his best bud, Hudson. They have so much fun together. 

Being a goof at church.

Doesn't he look so grown up? Where did my baby go?

Naptime for the boys. Cleaning time for me!

I'm making a quiet book for church. This is the first page. What do you think? I'm pretty stoked with how good it came out considering I had to freehand the temple before stitching it.

He disappeared for a minute and came back with Daddy's tie.

Ok, he makes me laugh. I was taking pictures of him to distract him while we were waiting at the doctors and he started squinting every time the pre flash light would come on. He thought it was so funny. I have like 10 pictures of nothing but squinting.

Paul saw this football armor and had to try it on James. Unfortunately, James didn't think it was too much fun.

Paul's getting ready for Fall semester and is pretty busy with work and school.  James has one molar all the way in and is working on three more. He isn't having a blast with that, but he does manage to keep a pretty good attitude. He's growing so fast I just can't believe it. I love my little man.
I've been working on a few projects and trying to get my groove back with organization, etc. Other than that we're just enjoying the summer and looking forward to the holidays.
