July

Yea! I am so glad that July is going so fast. Todd is so busy with the float. It is crazy! But, it is going to the South Towne Expo Center tomorrow for viewing and the parade is next Thursday. So, we are almost done. When I was there tonight, it didn't look very good but they were working fast and furious trying to finish up tonight. Here is a picture of what it looked like yesterday afternoon. Hopefully, I'll get pictures tomorrow when it's finished and it will look great!

And, our cute Kira. What is a blog post without pictures of our fun little baby? She is addicted to talking on the phone. You can't leave any phones down or she will turn them on and put them to her ear. She says "hi" but I think it sounds more like "ih". I didn't think I talked on the phone very much.

Here are pictures of our boys at our Utah Swimming Party. A slip 'n slide is totally acceptable in Utah since nobody has a pool. And, all the kids love our horse trough pool. And, finally, here are some pictures of the 4th of July Parade we go to. Todd considers it a sacred tradition to go to this parade. So, you can always find us in Kaysville hanging out at what we call the "Water Parade". Jonah is holding the fire hose with the bigger guy. Todd fills his truck with barrels of water to keep those buckets full. Luke & Kira don't want to play yet. And, this year, we had a vintage firetruck come up that belongs to the brother-in-law of our friends that we go with. Their whole family gets really excited too. And, Todd's family is starting to come. Our friend, Cyndi, is holding Kira.

We can't name most of the people in these pictures. But, they are with us. Our friends have a huge family and they all get involved. I just try to watch and make sure my kids don't end up in the street or lost.

Fyi: This post is long because I have had trouble downloading my pictures. But, I figured out my trouble today and so I hope I can post more often now.
