4th of July Celebration!

So the 4th of July is big in our house. Big. HUGE. WE LOVE IT! It's really our favorite holiday. So of course we have to celebrate! We did our normal celebrating this year. We went to the parade in the morning, hung out at the park, went to Grandma and Grandpa's for lunch, went home and had naps, went to the park for dinner (although I didn't want BBQ chicken sandwiches so we got me a burrito from Rancherito's) and then hung out until the fireworks started! We had a blast!

Then when we got home that night Ellie went in her room to get ready for bed, and when we went in there this is how we found her...taking care of her baby. :) Getting ready for Baby Brother.

What a good big sister!

June Catch Up

So I know it is TOTALLY lame to do posts from clear back in June when we have had Levi here for a whole MONTH and I've only done one post about him! I am just so behind, but we did some fun things in June, so I wanted to share those. I really will do some about Levi here soon.

So in June we got a toddler bed for Ellie from a family in our ward. We spray painted it green to match her book shelf and set it up. We weren't sure how she would react to it, but she absolutely LOVED it! Good thing! She stayed in it all night long too! Until Levi was born...then she started coming out of her room saying she wanted to sleep with Baby Brother. But she is doing good again staying in her bed, so it's been pretty fun!

Then we celebrated Father's Day. Let me just say really quick, Clint is a great dad. Holy cow. I know we all get busy, and he definitely has his share of busy, but you can tell he really loves his kids and his wife and he is the greatest guy in the world. I am so grateful to call him Husband. He is my best friend and I love him soooo much. Thanks Clint for all of the hard work you put in to make our family what it is. You are the greatest dad ever!

Then sometime in June, don't ask me when, we went to the Zoo! It was a blast. It was actually one of the hottest days of the year too, but the morning was so breezy that you couldn't tell, so we were only hot for about the last hour that we were there. That was great for me being a big pregnant lady that radiates heat! But Ellie loved it and loved seeing all of the animals.

So that was our fun month of June!

May Catch-up

So as I said, I'm pretty behind on my posts! Mostly because we didn't have the pictures from the camera on the computer and I was so tired all the time that I just didn't have the energy to do much after working all day and being totally pregnant!

So I left off with Clint's birthday. Clint turned 29 this year! Holy smokes! I am married to an old man!;) At least I like to tease him that he is! We celebrated by giving him presents and then going to dinner. Ellie and I also decided to get him tickets to a Real Salt Lake game! His birthday was on May 21st, a Tuesday, and we got the tickets for a game on the 25th. We had birthday dinner with his family right before, and then headed off to the game. It was so much fun! Happy Birthday Clinter!
