The Birthday Cake


Fourth of July

We stayed in St. George for the 4th and went to the fireworks with Gregg and his family. Alyssa was scared of the loud booms but she loved the show. Nathan was in a trance for the first bit but he had so much sugar he spent most of the time climbing all over his Daddy.









Did I mention she likes to pose.

Gregg's 4th of July Pics










Here you go Gregg.

Alyssa's first suitor

The kids were playing in the sandbox and Grandma Pi's house and the neighbor boy, Luke, was watching from his balcony and next thing you know he was knocking on the door. They played burried treasure, one child would come inside and the others would bury the treasures. They kept calling out the window "Is it ready yet?". He came over the next day too.


Slip and Slide

We finally pulled out the slip and slide today. The kids love to play in the water and this was right up their alley.




Our little King and Princess

We make crowns today and the kids danced together. Nathan is the King and Alyssa is, do I really need to say it, the Princess. She poses for the camera now.

Our kids play so well together, it is so much fun to sit back and watch them play and pretend.





Climbing

What is it with boys climbing on everything? Nathan taught Alyssa how to climb up onto the bathroom counter and I constantly find them there playing in the water. I guess I neglect them occasionally since they get their own bandaids and yes, Nathan got the tylenol himself when he was sick. Thank goodness for childproof bottles.
