We went to GG and Popa's house the weekend of June 23rd. For Popa's 60th Birthday! The Kids and I hitched a ride with Tawny up to Spokane and had lots of fun over the weekend. It was short but fun. We got to see lots of family and Zeke found his new favorite thing the Piano! :)
Eating some of Popa's birthday cake YUM
Sweeping up the lawn after it had been mowed. Fun rides on the four wheeler with Popa.
I don't remember why he was naked but for some reason he was...I'm think he had just come inside from playing in the water and took all his clothes off and just couldn't stay awake any longer! haha
Zeke had pancakes for breakfast. I gave him a small cup of water so he could practice drinking from a cup by himself. Well this was the result he dumped it out smeared it together with his syrup and rubbed it onto his head. I'm just glad it was watered down syrup in his hair! lol He promptly had a bath!
So proud of himself.
Bath time!
Landon's birthday weekend! Cousins came into town!
Happy boy!
Friday July 20th was Landon's birthday and so during the day we went to the zoo!

Landon sitting on the giant chicken toy.
Drinking from a lion's mouth!

Zebra's
Tigers!
We saw lots of animals including the monkeys and all the tropical birds and camel's and bears. Idaho Fall's has a great little zoo and it's only 6.00 for adults and kids 3 and under are free. :)
Landon's Batman cape and mask. He loves this thing and it's sooo funny. Look how serious he is. He got this for his birthday.
Been playin' in the mud. I'd just taken his diaper off ( I don't remember why he was in a diaper cuz he's potty trained....) and he had mud everywhere and a white butt! lol
Happy 3rd Birthday Landon!
We had a big bbq play in the water birthday for Landon on Saturday becasue Friday night the night of his actual birthday Lee's brother graduated from BYUI so it was his night to celebrate and we postponed until Saturday night for the big party.
Playin in the mud hole. Lee is landscaping next to our house and he had filled it up with water to make a mud hole for the kids. Thanks for that haha such a mess but they loved it. This is Dyson, Landon and Maddie playing in my laundry bucket in the mud hole.
Eventually I just couldn't resist anymore and had to join Landon and Maddie. Why should the kids get to have all the fun?! haha Alyssa joined in as well it was fun!
And then this last Saturday (July 28th) we threw a bridal shower for our new sister in law Amie! We're so excited for her to join the family! We did a hot pink and zebra theme. Everything was sooo yummy too.
This cake was delicious
The only downside to the shower was NOBODY CAME! yeah dead serious. not even kidding. I don't know what happened. Lee's mom showed up over an hour late and when she showed up she called her sister Karlee and told them to come over (she had just been with them) so Karlee and her daughter Ronalee and ronalee's 3 girls showed up so atleast all the food didn't go to waste. And we got to share it with someone! It was also nice to have someone to play the games we had planned with too. I was and still am kinda mad about it because of all the time and money we put into it and no one bothered to show or call us and let us know. Grrrr whatev. Luckily the bride to be had a good attitude about it and laughed it off. Apparently this happened at her first shower too that her aunt threw for her. Poor girl hasn't even gotten a decent bridal shower! Welcome to the family! haha

Funny story about these roses. Kandice and I were out Friday night picking up the last minute items and food for the bridal shower and we were at the grocery store when this toothless (ok well he had a couple teeth) old tattooed guy came up to us and handed us these roses. He said he was passing them out to the ladies of the store haha. too funny. not gonna lie we did wonder if he just took them from the floral department and gave them to us hahahahaha but luckily that wasn't the case all the lady cashier's received roses as well. lol
