Melba parade: Awesome entertainment while we waited by Doug and Dylan's music and Katelyn's dancing. Massive amounts of candy taken by big kids running into the street and taking it from the small kids following the rules. Perfect cloud cover so it was enjoyed by all.

Bike Parade around the neighborhood: Allie huffed and puffed her way with those little legs. That poor girl was SO red and hot by the end and thought it was the hardest day of her life.

BBQ and fireworks with our neighbors

Sure do love this country and all that we have!

Summer Days

Pictures from our Summer Days:

New play-doh scissors take serious concentration.

This is how they make wishes when we go under tunnels. Haha!

How Doug woke up to Katelyn one morning at his parent's house :)

Princess Academy

Allie went to a Princess Academy at the end of June. It was darling.
The schedule was:
Monday: Bippity Boppity Boutique
Tuesday: Carnival
Wednesday: Royal Bake Shop
Thursday: Under the Sea Swim Party

A girl in our ward does this camp for 4-7 year olds and those little girls feel so fancy all week. Allie had a wonderful time. I didn't get many pictures though :(

Hair and makeup all done

Cute little cake maker!

Katelyn: 3

She's 3 and none of us can believe it! What a special little lady we have. She is my sweet/sassy girl.

She is intense about everything in life. Whether she's happy, sad, mad, excited, cold, hot, tired, you name it, she will give it everything she has. You will never wonder how she's feeling, you will always know!

She has NO fear.

She loves to swing and can pump herself.

She loves to swim and put her head under the water over and over again.

She loves gum and snacks.

She regularly falls and/or gets hurt. And loves bandaids.

She loves "shows."

She is just a tiny little munchkin.

She has natural curly, curly hair that I just can't seem to cut.

She loves to dress up, sing, and play music.

She does everything Allie does.

She always want to listen to books and memorize them.

She loves animals.

She is starting to tell stories that somewhat make sense.

She wants to do everything on her own. She is very independent.

She fights and yells at us most of the day.

She runs on her little toes and it's super cute.

We love this little darling!

Visitors & The Little Bug Turns 3

Doug's parents came over on Thursday night to see Katelyn and give her lots of birthday love! We went to eat at Carino's and loved having them back in Boise!

The girl's made their Pa's some fabulous, blinging ties for Father's Day.

My parents came on Friday and we went out to PF Chang's sans kids.

Got a little goofy...

We went to Monster's University and saw this cool snail to sit on

Then we had Katelyn's birthday party. My parents, Ben, Mattie and the kids made it to the party. We had dinner, cupcakes, popsicles, and played at the park, mostly on the splash pad. It was a perfect day to be out and we all had a blast!
