24th Celebrations

On the 23rd we went to the Spanish Fork rodeo. We had a great time.

They had skydivers bring in the flag. I had never actually seen someone jump out of a plane before.

Here we all are!

By the end of the night Andrew (and everyone else) was pretty tired but we all had lots of fun.

Then on the 24th the girls and I were in the Mapleton Parade. Look close, they're both there.

Kaylee was a bunny and Kara was a horse.

Kaylee wasn't very happy about having missed watching the parade.

Funny Andrew

Some cut videos of Andrew.

Those are some great muscles.

When we ask Andrew what his name is he says "Josh". Josh is the neighbor boy who is Andrew's age. Don't you love kids.

More Summer Fun

What says Summer more than baseball? So for those of you who aren't in summer yet here are fome fabulous baseball shots.

What a hitter!

SUMMER!

Ok, I know it's not really summer (Kaylee reminds me every time I say it) but it is summer break and last week it even felt like summer. It was 95 degrees! So we went out and bought a sprinkler for the kids to play in.

Except, notice how dry they all are. Kara is the only one who actually ran in the water! Kaylee crept up to the end and would spray Kara and Andrew. Here is Andrew's reaction.

For once it wasn't Kara making Andrew cry. She likes to follow him around and half growl half scream until Andrew runs away crying. I'll have to get her on video sometime.

Another thing that makes it seem like summer is that Kaylee is out of school! Here are some pictures of the last day of school with her teacher Mrs. Murdock.

Her last day of school was Thursday the 22nd. Friday night at 3:45 in the morning Kaylee came into our room and said "Mom" I, half asleep, replied "mmm". "I want to go back to school". She's already bored! What am I going to do with them all summer?

Kristy's B-day at the ZOO!

Happy Birthday Kristy!

So she decided that for her birthday she wanted to go to the zoo. Of course, the kids were pretty excited about that. So it was all planned- then we watched the weather report. Low 40's, windy, rain and snow. Yikes! So we decided to go anyway. The drive up was very very windy so we were worried we would be eating and breathing airborn animal poop all day. But when we got to the zoo it was quite nice. A little cool but I'll take cool over scorching hot anyday. So apparently the time to go is on a cold day first thing in the morning. We went in right after it opened and for about an hour it was just us and one other group in the whole place! Here are some cute pics.

So this leopard kept walking back and forth right by the glass and every time he would look right at Andrew like "mmm tasty". It was a little creepy. Then we realized it probably couldn't see us because of the sun on the glass so it was probably seeing it's reflection.

I DID IT!

I'm not very photogenic so it looks better in person. It's pretty weird to not have long hair though. When I walked in the door after I got it done Kaylee laughed, Andrew stared at me like "what happened, Mom", Kara was excited because now my hair is short like hers, and Wes wouldn't look.

Ok, here's a better picture. I couldn't handle the bangs so they are pulled back. Next time I talk about getting bangs please remind me how bad it looks.

So I think this is a cute haircut. Should I do it?
