Boston turns 3

Saturday June 11th we were invited to Boston's birthday party. He had a pirate themed party so fun! Cheryl made the treasure chest birthday cake..so amazing! We started off with Boston opening is birthday presents he got some pretty cool gifts. After they did a pinata Avery got in on the action, but little prissy girl didn't hit it too hard..I guess we need to teach her how to swing a bat. They were so excited when all the candy came out, but even more excited to eat it!

After cake and ice cream it was time for swimming. Last year for Avery's birthday Lindsey gave her a blow up pirate ship. Avery didn't like it too much, but at least Boston did. Avery loved the arm floaties that we put on her. She was kicking her legs and keeping her self up so good. She loved swimming by herself, and she would get so mad if daddy tried to help. She was even floating on her back like a champ!

She also loved the baby floatie. Daddy would swim under water and grab her legs and she would laugh so hard. She had so much fun. Happy 3rd Birthday Bosty boy we love you!!

Lagoon

This year will be our last year in Layton, so we decided to get Lagoon passes. Its only like 5 minutes from our house, and with passes you can come and go as you please. The first time we went we went for a couple of hours after Brett got off work. Avery's first ride was the cars and she was so excited to get on. She was smiling and waving at us the whole time..loved it! There was one small problem after the ride was over she did not want to get off. She didn't understand why she couldn't just stay on and go around again. Trying to get her to understand that you had to stand in line and wait your turn was impossible!

Her other favorite was the airplanes. There were a couple that went a little fast for her that she wasn't a fan of, but maybe we will have to keep trying. Daddy was able to go on the roller coaster and the octopus with her. It's so fun to see her get so excited about a ride! I have taken her again since and she is loving it more and more. This summer is already turning out to be so fun! I love making memories with my little girl.

Brooklyn & Rylee

Brooklyn and Rylee came to Utah for a visit. We were so excited to see them and spend the day playing!! We started off with an afternoon at Airborne. It was such a nice day to go because we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Everyone loved it and Brandon came, so of course they had a blast. Avery loves her cousins and they were so cute with her. When she says Brooklyn it sounds like brocoli..so cute! The kids didn't want to leave, but we had to get back to Grandma's for naps.

That night we were suppose to go to Jenn and Brandon's pool, but the weather was not cooperating. We ended up at the new Herriman aquatic center with everyone else..it was so packed. Avery was being a little chicken at first not wanting to go on anything, but as soon as Grandpa took her down the big slide she loved it!! Brooklyn and Rylee were so cute with her and she just adored them. I am so sad they live so far away! hopefully next time they come we will have more time with them. After swimming we went to Artic circle for some yummy shakes.

Sunday fun

These 2 cousins are so cute together! They had a blast jumping on the couch at Grandma's. They were entertained for hours and we were having fun watching them.

Memorial Day

Memorial day we had a fun day planned with friends. The weather was not cooperating, so we had to plan things indoors. We started the day off with going to Airborne (our new favorite place). This time the boys were able to come with us, and I think they enjoyed it more than the kids!!

Avery had a blast as usual, but this time she loved having daddy around to jump with her.

Us girls were on the side lines watching them all have a blast!

The kids loved getting tossed in the foam pit. The boys were doing flips and showing off their tricks.

After they were all worn out it was time to eat. We went to Joes crab shack in Sandy. They have a little play place for the kids. It was so nice to go somewhere a little nicer, and have the kids be entertained. The food and company was great!

After lunch we went over to Ben and Gaby's to let Avery nap, and to get ready for company. We invited Jenn, Brandon, Pat, Heidi and the kids over for dinner. By this time the sun was shinning, so we were able to eat outside. It was so nice to sit around and talk while the kids were entertaining themselves. After dinner we went and watched Brian Regan and had dessert.
Love watching him you never stop laughing! Thanks everyone for coming we had such a great night. We have such amazing friends and all of our kids love being together.

Sugarhouse Park

Last week we had a play date at Sugarhouse park. Jennah, GK, Bentley, Liam and Isaac joined us for a fun filled day! The sun was out and it felt so good. The kids had so much playing while us girls talked and soaked up the sun. Avery's favorite part was swinging and she even made a little friend who pushed her for me. Such a fun park and so many places to explore. Thanks everyone for coming we had a blast.

I am a big girl now!

A few weeks ago we started potty training Avery. The first week she did so good, and I thought she had it down, but I spoke to soon. She got an infection and refused to go potty in the toilet, so we let that pass and then tried again. So the second time around I was a little nervous that it wouldn't work since she was back in diapers for a few days.

She got right back into it and is always so proud of herself when she pees in the potty. She loves her big girl underwear and likes to show them off to everyone. So she gets the concept for #1, but #2 is a whole other ball game. She hates it for some reason and I hope its just a phase. We are so proud of her! She is just growing up so fast. Potty training is bitter sweet, but we just keep chugging along.

Of course after taking pictures in her big girl panties she found one of her favorite outfits. Its starting to get a little short on her, but mini skirts are in these days!
