On the 2nd we rode the train to Salt Lake,
Bud got this cool choco porcupine and Faith got an apple turnover.
July 4th we enjoyed a BBQ at grandma & grandpa Braegger's house and then lit off some fireworks.
On July 5th I went with Jenn, Darcy, Belinda Belliston and Belinda's sister (in from out of town) to lay out blankets to save a spot for the Kaysville parade. I hate parades, but wanted to hang out with friends, so I tagged along. They were having a street party down main street, so we stopped by.
On July 8th Bud went to Cub Scout day camp and had a great time.
On the 9th we stopped by PetCo and Bud was able to hold a lizard.
I caught the kids on the 10th taking selfies with the Snapchat filter :)
Here's the result:
So cute!!!
We headed up to the condo Monday night and on the 12th walked with grandpa.
Joy came up with her family and put on a darling "under the sea" themed birthday party for Evie's third birthday. There were croissant sandwiches that looked like crabs, hot dog octopuses, goldfish crackers, and oyster cookies with a pearl inside.
There were games of toss the fish,
wrap your teammate in seaweed,
and toss to knock over the dinglehoppers (what the Little Mermaid called forks).
The girls then stuck jewels onto swim cover-up mermaid tails.
The strong light coming in from the window kind of ruined my shot, so I played around with a stained glass filter :)
Of course there was lots of swimming!
I saw this cute picture on Facebook of mom's cousin Bruce McKinstry, wife Margo and their girls. She lived in our ward until they left on a mission and have been traveling and in their St. George condo since.
My friend Jenn is hilarious and I loved this Instagram post!
A rod started knocking in our Jeep Liberty, so on the 23rd we went car shopping and somehow ended up with this monster vehicle instead of the tiny electric car I liked.
Not as much spank bum being played these days, but every once in awhile things still get crazy!
On the 24th Bud and I assembled these paper crafts I found online for the actual Pioneer Day.
Loved this family picture of my cousin Fish:
Tammy took the kids on the 30th for a sleepover and on the 31st did the aquarium and bought them ice creams at Thanksgiving Point.
My Riot trainers challenged us to be FEARLESS this summer and take a picture of ourselves doing things that scare us. Here I am driving our new car: (I'm pointing to the shirt they gave us that says fearless on it)
