5th of July

On the 5th of July, a lot of the Family didn't have to work so my mom decided to rent a big waterslide and have a BBQ. The kids got to see their new cousin Cason and hold him. They thought he was so cute but they weren't to sure about holding him. He is such a cute little boy.

The slide was a little steeper than we thought it would be so Dallas had to catch the kids as they came down so they wouldn't go under the water at the bottom. They had so much fun.

After dinner we made homemade ice cream and then waited for it to get dark so that we could do fireworks.

Dallas and the kids doing sparklers and watching the other fireworks. What a fun weekend.

4th of July

We took the kids to the Centerville parade this year. There weren't very many kids sitting by us this year so the kids got to run out and get all the candy that came our way. All salt water taffy!!

After the parade we just went home and hung out  for a while then Grandma Penny came to the house to watch the kids and Dallas and I got to go to Stadium of Fire. Dallas got us tickets for my Birthday. I love the Stadium of Fire and I haven't been able to go for since before we got married so I was very excited to go. Carrie Underwood sang and the fireworks were awesome! I love you Dallas!! Thanks for the fun date night.

T-Ball Party

T-ball is officially done for the year and the Fox's did a little pizza party for everyone. It was so much fun. The wind was a little crazy but the kids didn't care. Brody was so excited to get his first trophy just like his uncle Jake. They also did team and individual pictures for them. They turned out awesome. Thanks for putting the teams together, we had so much fun!

Swimming

These 2 kids love to go swimming, so when my mom told us there was a swimming party we grabbed our suits and headed out the door. Aunt Audrey and uncle Jake swam with them while I chilled in the shade. They loved jumping off the diving board but they hated wearing their life jackets. We usually don't make them wear them but since I wasn't in the water I thought that would be safer.

They found these goggles at the pool and wanted to wear them the whole time they were swimming. Baylee was hilarious with hers, she was running around with them on like this the whole time.

Baylee's Birthday

Baylee turned 3 this week and we had a fun Birthday party with our family. She is such a fun girl and we love all the little things she does. She still doesn't have much hair but we just do pigtails everyday and she loves to pick out flowers and bows to clip into them. She loves to pretend like she is a mommy and she is going to be a great helper when her little sister comes.
Here is the birethday girl with her cake before the party.
Aunt Terra has been doing cakes for a little while now, so I asked her to help me make a fun cake for Baylee. We got together and she brought a bunch of fun things we could try out. Baylee was helping and so she got to help pick what she wanted on it. It turned out so fun and girly! Thanks Terra for helping me, she loved it.

Me carrying out the Birthday cake. (I can't quite figure out this blogger thing so some of my pictures are in backwords order. Oh well.)

Baylee got some fun presents but her favorite one is her new vacuum. It was the only thing she asked for so I had to make sure she got one. It hasn't stopped running yet and it actually picks up a few crumbs off the floor so she loves filling it up with crumbs that she spills on purpose and then emptying the canister into the garbage. Now I just need to get her to quit dumping stuff out. Happy Birthday Baylee!! We love you!

Fireworks, Gateway, and the Drive-in

This past weekend we had a lot of fun with some friends. We had a BBQ and then went to the West Haven Fireworks. The kids loved the fireworks this time. Baylee hasn't loved them before this year but she just sat there wrapped in her blanket and watched them.

Me and Baylee watching the Fireworks. So much Fun!!

Last weekend there was a chalk festival at the Gateway so we took the kids up to see the awesome pictures and then to play in the water fountains. I think it is amazing what these artists can do with chalk on the sidewalk. I think it would be frustrating though, to spend so much time on something and then have it washed away.
This was the kids favorite picture, of course. We love Mickey Mouse!

Brody running around in the water and I had a pic of Baylee but now I can't find it.

We took the kids to the drive-in to see Toy Story 3. They love going to the movies and we thought it would be fun to see one outside, so we borrowed Uncle Ethans truck and loaded up. They had so much fun!

I took them to the store to pick out a treat before we left and Brody picked his favorite snickers bar and here he is chilling in the truck and munching on his bar.

Dallas and Baylee watching the movie. She is such a wiggle worm that she didn't really watch much of the movie but she had fun being there with her daddy.

Getting ready for the movie to start. I love these kids so much. They make me smile and laugh everyday.

Lagoon

Today I took the kids to Lagoon for my sister's work lagoon day. We went with my Mom and dad and my brother and sister. The kids haven't been before so they were very excited! It ended up being a little chili so we only stayed for a couple of hours but they had fun anyways.

My dad decided to race my mom on the race cars. He wan the first race and mom won the second race. It was fun watching them. Dad false started on the third race so I guess mom actually won two. Thanks for letting us go with you guys it was lots of fun.
