Last week started out a doozy! We went to the Bean Museum on BYU campus with my college BFFs. I took the first picture, a fuzzy one, and then the camera died. Literally DIED! So, this is the ONLY picture I have of that fun day. We played at the Museum, then walked over to the Creamery. It was such a fun day!
I ordered a new camera on Tuesday and it was supposed to get here in time for me to use it at the Hayes Reunion Thursday night. It didn't get there before we left, so I have no pictures of the fun family swim party in Farmington. :( It was a blast though!
I snapped a few of the babies, trying out my new camera...
Tuesday last week, Kaley decided to teach Thomas how to ride a two-wheeler. I was pumping up the tires on Thomas' bike, and she told him to come try hers. She stabled the bike while he hopped on. She told him she would hold on and run with him for a minute, and then she would let go. That is about the time I looked up. Just in time to hear Thomas say, "Let go!" He rode down the street and then hopped off. He didn't know how to turn around or stop, but don't worry, he learned that afternoon. He was seriously SO proud of himself. Kaley was also thrilled that she was his teacher, and it really only took about 3 tries before he could start and stop himself. He is now riding around like a pro, and thinks he's hot stuff now that he can keep up with the older boys!
Saturday, we went for a drive up the canyon and had a campfire. We roasted marshmallows and had s'mores. The kids had a blast playing in the mountains and getting dirty. Jace started out on the blanket, and I soon found that he was eating all the sticks and rocks. We corralled the babies in the trunk, and they loved it!
Our bonfire...
Remember how I said we got a new car??? We did! I have yet to blog about it, so here it goes! The Summer had not been kind to our Sequoia. Our trunk was taken up with the double stroller. That left everything else we needed for Summer activities to be stuffed between, under and around kids and parents. Josh had pretty much had enough! He told me to find a Yukon XL in our price range and we could go look at it. It was really quick. I found the one I wanted with all the specifications I needed, and it was in our price range and just at Carmax. So we looked at it, loved it, and bought it! Just in time to go to Redfish for the 4th of July! It has been perfect! The trunk space is amazing, and the kids just love how BIG it is! I can even fit it in the garage! I sure do love it!
Bella is such a stinker these days. She is sunshine or rain clouds. :) The first picture I took of her, her eyes were closed, so I asked for another one, and this is what I got...
The last exciting thing that happened this week, was on Sunday. Kaley had wiggled her tooth to oblivion, and it was literally hanging on by a thread. Josh moved it around, and it was backwards and sideways in her mouth. She didn't want him to "pull" it out, so he used his dental floss tool and gently brushed it out of it's spot. She was so excited! She took her tooth to church with her. She told Bella that night that she needed to go right to sleep so that the tooth fairy could come. :) I can't believe how grown up she is!
The last full-toothed smile.
Inspecting the backwards/sideways tooth.
Thrilled, and now toothless!
