So I was waiting to post these pictures so all of our trip activities could be in order, but I still have not gotten our water cameras developed. Film and developing is such a hassle. Anyways these are from the day we all went to Elitch Gardens. Cute! We didn't get very many pictures- I think there are a few on the waterproof cameras actually. I'll let you know.
So maybe everyone already knows this, but if you don't and you love to read to your kids, it's time you do. Seagull books always has kids books in the very back for super cheap. Every time I go in there I am amazed. They have board books, New York Times bestsellers, coloring books, baby cloth books, lift the flaps, holiday/seasonal books, religious books, and other neat activities. I got a four pack of acrylic paint for Brandon for $0.79. The Daddies Give you Horsey Rides book lists at $15.95 Seagull price $3.99. I Love You Mommy (board book) $1.99. CareBears $0.99. I think you get the point.
Well I had enough of the fluff. I decided to give Aaron his first haircut today. You may be wondering how I got him to hold still. I'll tell you Reese's candy has never failed me yet. Almost immediately after I did the first buzz my heart dropped. This is like a huge step from baby to little man that I am not positive I was ready to take. I must admit though, every time I look at his cute little cut it makes me smile. What a big guy.
This is beautiful Lake Grandby. We drove around it on our way to Rocky Mountain National Park. We had so much fun hiking up up Adams Falls and taking pictures of each other.
I just have to say that this July 4th was extra special for me. Maybe it was because I got to spend it with all of my family, but I really felt a lot of deep gratitude for my blessings this year. I am so grateful for the freedom that we enjoy every single day. I think I often take for granted what a blessing this is.
Well here they are- all of our firecrackers.I guess you cannot do fireworks up where we were. We couldn't even find sparklers. All we could get were these little poppers. I guess our Utah laws aren't so bad after all!
What an amazing week we had. My family all met up in Colorado for our summer vacation. We had so much fun together. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. The week started out with the dads taking the kiddos to a parade while us girls went river rafting. We were a bit nervous to leave our babies, but as you can see they had a great time. We are so lucky to be blessed with great husbands who can run the show while we go out and play!
