Davis' Dino Party!

Wow, I can hardly believe that my little boy is 2! He is not my baby anymore... he is my little boy. And what a little boy he is! He loves all things boyish: balls, sports, cars, trucks, motorcycles, animals, running, climbing, jumping, loud noises- especially thunder, and of course... dinosaurs. Well, I had to pick a theme for the party, so I went with dinos. We have a membership to Thanksgiving Point, which includes their awesome dinosaur museum, so that's where we started the party. We invited Davis' cousins and a few friends and went to play at the museum for about an hour. The sand and water areas were probably the favorites. Then we headed over to Bryson's parents' house for games, food, cake and ice-cream. At the house, the pinata was definitely the biggest hit, but Davis had so much fun the entire time. He doesn't usually like being the center of attention when a lot of people are around, but he completely enjoyed himself all day and was perfectly happy to be getting as much attention as he could get.

This was actually after the party, but it was so cute that I couldn't resist adding these to the post. One of Davis' favorite things to do lately is make the silly face, where he looks a bit serious or angry, and he will look at you doing it until you make the face back at him... then he says, "funny boys!" and laughs. The descriptions and pictures won't do it justice, but here he is in action. So stinkin cute.

4th of July in Park City

My family has started a tradition the last few years of going up to Park City for the 4th of July. We play games, eat way too much good food, go rafting down the Provo river, do all the rides at the Park City resort, hike, and of course watch fireworks. It's always a ton of fun. This year we were missing Ryan, but everyone else was able to make it (from my dad's side of the family). As always, I take way too many pictures.

Cute pictures

These first few pictures are from Summer's birthday. Summer is everyone's favorite aunt. Sometimes I wish she were my aunt. She takes the kids on play dates, spoils them rotten with toys and clothes, plays with them for hours on end- doing anything they want to do, and mostly just loves them and gives them tons of attention. Whenever she walks in the house or room, all of the kids scream her name in excitement and want her to come play with them immediately. So, it is no surprise that for her birthday, all of her nieces and nephews had to help her blow out her candles. I thought these were so cute.




This is just a cute picture of Davis hanging out with his daddy.

Drum roll Please.....



This is how we told our families that we are expecting again! I am about 12 weeks along, and we just heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. So exciting! We can't wait for the new addition to our family to come! I think Davis sort of understands that he is going to be a big brother. We talk about the baby in mommy's tummy, and he tells me, "baby hiding tummy." Apparently the baby is just hiding until he or she is ready to come out and play with him.
