AZ Midday
For the past few months, I have been working for a company called Pogo Pass and they recently asked me to go on AZ Midday and though I was nervous, I had a lot of fun and I might even be going back!? Crazy we experience with a great company!
Carden- TWO years old
What can I say about this two year old!?! He is the most active of all of my children, which is saying a LOT, if you know my Parker:) He is in to EVERYTHING and SMILES so cute you can't get mad at him! He dumps everything out...some of his favorites are tubs of crayons, boxes of cereals, water bottles and cans of rice. If I turn my back on him, he is making a mess! He makes the silliest faces and loves to fake snore:) He loves wheels on the bus and is a fish in the water! He has really picked up on swimming this year and goes all over the pool in his floaties. He will run with excitement at bath time and the cover the bathroom floor with water from playing so hard. He lives life to the fullest! He LOVES to dance! He hears music, in a store, on the radio, at home...and starts moving! He has great rhythm and some great dance moves:) He is a HAPPY kid and cracks himself up! He loves nursery and is friends with everyone. He loves to play outside and ride bikes or run in the sprinklers or dig in the sand! He is in LOVE with Caillou and Word World and while I am grateful I can catch a break sometimes now, I get tired of the same episodes over and over:) He is NOT shy at all! He says Hi and waves to everyone that walks by and can't sit still at church. He goes and goes and goes and I love watching him run, because he BOUNCES and pumps one arm back and forth and is just too cute! He is also a bit clumsy as trips over his own feet quite frequently. I think he moves faster than his feet can run and ends up falling down. He is a tough kid and rarely cries, just keeps on going. He is a little monkey and is always on top of the counter or the dresser or the bunk bed and anywhere and everywhere he shouldn't be! Thankfully with all his energy he is the BEST SLEEPER EVER!!! He JUST recently stopped taking 2 naps a day(and still will on occasion) and sleeps great at night, he will tell ME when he wants to go "nigh nigh" and practically runs to his crib. What kid does that!? I think he just wears himself out!!! Thank goodness he takes great naps!:) I love my sweet, active, 2 year old and look forward to watching him grow!
HEBER 4th of July
We enjoyed a WONDERFUL weekend at the Allen's cabin in Heber! We drove up late Friday night after Matt got home from work an Saturday went to the parade which is a HUGE water fight between the people watching and the floats and fire trucks and we all got drenched! The rest of the day was rainy off and on and just enjoyed the beautiful weather and played games together! That night we just drove around the corner and watched fireworks from a distance so we didn't have to fight the crowds and traffic and it was perfect! Sunday we enjoyed a nice day at church(most packed building I have ever been in!) and more time together as a family! I am so grateful for the memories we are creating with our boys and their cousins and grandparents and it was so nice to get away as a family for a few days!
Swimming on the 4th
I have been going swimming a lot with these 4 boys to TRY to beat this heat! Unfortunately the pool just feels like a hot bath, but we still have fun:) we enjoyed a night swim on the 4th of July and then home to do fireworks with the neighborhood kids in the street:) It was a great day!
4th of July
Both of our families were out of town on the 4th so we enjoyed a day as a family as met up with Heidi and Jordan for lunch at Costa Vida and frozen yogurt! It was a perfect way to spend our afternoon!
Dance Party for Carden
I didn't have anything planned for Carden's birthday but decided to throw together a dance party for him, because he is OBSESSED with dancing! We partied at Grandma's house with music and fun disco lights and glow sticks and then ate pizza and went swimming! It was a perfect party for my big 2 year old! I am so glad both grandmas could be there to celebrate and lots of cousins!
