Catching up--June and July

The camera's cord that downloads pictures to my computer was broken all summer and so I've been a slacker getting my blog up to date! Here's the cliff-notes of June and July!


Tim turned 35 in July and we made a huge cake and loved on him all day!

The Ward Camp-out was a fun little trip to get out of the heat up in Prescott Valley. Tim didn't end up getting off of work until late, so we traveled up after dark. It was about 2 hours away...but of course our lovely van got a flat in the middle of nowhere. We were glad Daddy was with us this time to quickly change it and get back on the road. We put up the tent in the dark and enjoyed our cute ward for the rest of the evening.
Grant was THE biggest stinker in the night! He was sleeping in between Mom and Dad to stay warm and woke up about 10 times crying in the night--with his feet in Mom's face and his head in Dad's armpit...not fun. I felt bad for all the tents next to us!
But, overall it was worth the trip to enjoy the nature and beautiful weather. We had forgotten what it was like to be COLD at night :)

Taylor has been busy losing teeth this summer. She lost her 2 bottom teeth within a couple of days of each other. One night she wrote the Tooth Fairy a note and put it under her pillow, "Please take out my loose tooth!" I was surprised that the Fairy found the note and gave her a reply that she would gladly wait :) Taylor also LOVED her Art Camp this summer where she made a butterfly costume and lots of other art projects.

For Memorial Day weekend we enjoyed some boat time at Lake Pleasant with Uncle Kelly and Aunt Sue. The girls rode the tube for a long time and held on tight! The water was beautiful and it felt SOO nice to actually be a bit cold. I tried to ski, but loved the knee-board even better. The girls were exhausted and fell asleep almost instantly on the way home--what a fun time!

Grant's 2nd birthday was pretty low key...but everything this boy could want!
We swam at the Webb's pool with all his "park day" friends and had otter-pops and snacks.
Our family took him to the McDonald's playground for dinner and playing!
And then we had an Panda Bear ice cream cake party with some family on Sunday.
What a sweet boy!!
