Happy Birthday Hanna

Thursday was my niece Hanna's birthday. She turned seven. I can't believe she is that old. She will always hold a special place in my heart being that she made me an aunt. She is such an adorable girl. She loves to come to my house and help me out with all sorts of things. She is very much a girlie girl. One of her favorite things to do is try on my shoes and clothes. She is growing up so much and turning into a great reader. I love the freckles that she gets on her nose in the summer. She is a great cousin to Jace and he loves to play with her. WE LOVE YOU HANNA.

Jace loves to play with the horse gate and chain that holds it closed at my Dads. It is amazing to me the time he can spend and the fun he can have palying with these. I took these pictures at the end of this spring. I know I am a little slow in posting them. I think they are so cute and just wanted to share.

Happy 4th Of July

Jace about a half hour before the parade just chilling,

We had a great 4th of July. Lewiston really loves the fourth and our house is in a great location for all of the events. We started out with the parade that goes in front of our house. This was the first year me and Daniel have been able to watch it with Jace. (No more parade committee.) It so much fun to see Jace. He had been excited for days before. He got plenty of candy. We also love having everyone come watch it with us.

This is Jace during a break in the parade checking out what is coming next.

After the parade we headed over to the park to check out the booths. Jace really had his mind set on a pony ride. Unfortunately there were not any this year. So he was satisfied with a jump house and new bow and arrow. (No more using my hangers for one.) Then we headed off to Kent and Robyn's house for a lunch and a nap. Later that night me and Jace got to go to the horse pulls with Mandy and her kids and my Grandpa Clark while Daniel stayed home making cobbler. This is something that is fun to see and Jace had a blast playing in the dirt and watching the big horses. Then it was back home to have some yummy dessert and wait for the fireworks. We are really lucky and can just watch them from our front yard. So now we have everyone over eat the cobblers Daniel has made and hang out till the fireworks start. They were great this year. We are sure glad that we have so many friends and family to join us for this fun day.

This is my neice Brylee. I just had to add it because she looks so cute.

St. George

So a few weekends ago we headed to St. George with Travis and Lucinda and their two boys. We were all ready for a weekend away. Friday we headed to the aquatic center in Washington. Jace and Jake. This was a great place to swim. It was covered so I worried alot less about sunscreen. It also had lots of shallow water for Jace to play in. Jace loved to bounce in these swings.

It was so nice to cool off in the water and the boys had so much fun. I even have to say that I broke down and bought a maternity swim suit. Sorry no pictures of that. The next day we headed out to Snow Canyon to let the boys play on the rocks. Jake, Dylan, and Jace

Jace loved climbing on the rocks and trying to find a turtle. (Supposedly they are around there.)No, we didn't find any.

Yes, I know that Jace doesn't have any pants on. He had a little accident while climbing the rocks so I let them air dry why we kept climbing the rocks. It was fun to see Jace have so much fun playing with Jake and Dylan. They all got along. It is always nice to getaway for the weekend with friends. We even got to escape all the rain
