Nursery

Millie finally went to her nursery last week! Makes me want to cry thinking about how big she is already, but Ben was thrilled as could be to drop her off and head to Sunday school alone. I'm in Sunbeams so he has had to handle her by himself for the past year.



Millie loved nursery, which came as no surprise. She has no fear. She is finally starting to talk more and can say, "Please" "Andrew" "Bye" "Hi" "No No" "More" "String cheese" "Yay" "Stinky" "Nose" "Nana" "Uh-oh" "Drink" "Shoes" "Dirty" "Baby" and momma and daddy. She folds her arms for prayer. She cries and yells "more" when I try to get her out of her high chair. She eats almost as much as I do and she wears the same size clothes Livy wore last year! She loves to play outside. She bites me and then laughs hysterically. She is so much fun. I love this age.

Lindsey maternity

I took some maternity pictures for my cousin Lindsey last Saturday. She is due any day now and it was tons of fun to get some last shots before she has her first baby boy.













Swimming Lessons

This was our first year doing swimming lessons in Logan. I'm so happy we signed up, the kids really improved. Andrew is a little fish and Liv will at least sometimes put her face in. Millie loves water and went crazy doing water babies with me.


Every day Andrew would walk Liv to her class. It was so sweet.



On the last day of class, we stayed for open swim with some friends.



Camping

We finally had our first camping trip this year... actually our first camping trip in a few years. It went much better than our last trip. Millie only woke up a few times and the other two kids slept great.

Ben out hunting for wood.


The kids were thrilled about Doritos left over from 4th of July weekend... yes my kids are deprived, we never buy Doritos.




This is Millie raising her hand and yelling, "Me!" when I asked who was hungry.

Dutch oven chili and cornbread. So yummy!!




Campfire Cinnamon Rolls.

The next day we packed up and went fishing. No luck catching anything but the kids had fun anyway.

4th of July

We had the funnest fourth of July in Idaho Falls this year. After we got there, we learned that the fireworks there are supposed to be some of the best in the nation. We were stoked! They had a parade earlier which turned out to be a pretty nice one.






Afterward, we went to a little street festival downtown and then found our spots for the fireworks. PS- Livy refused to turn around for this picture. 







My aunt Shelly and uncle Greg came as well and my kids loved playing with their boys!



The firework show did not disappoint! Definitely the best one I've seen.





Happy 4th!
