Crazy July

This summer seems to be flying past! And July has been the craziest month of all. We had two cabin trips, the Highland City splash pad and we went to the zoo all in the past couple weeks. Things aren't slowing down either. That's okay. It's been ton's of fun and I just love this warm weather! So here are just a bunch of pictures of what we have been up to. I didn't get any pictures at the splash pad but we are going again next week and I'll for sure remember to get my camera. Makenna had so much fun there. Oh and Kason got his first two teeth. He got the first one on July 3rd, and then second one about two weeks later. So now he has the two bottom teeth. Oh and he is such a wiggler! He can't sit still for two seconds and he is all over the place. He just rolls for now but it won't be long tell he's crawling!

Aren't these two so cute! They were so excited to go to the zoo

This was baby Zuri and her mom. So cute!

Makenna wanted to ride the train and we got to see a cougar!


I love giraffes! Makenna's favorite's were the monkey's and the penguins


Just walking around the zoo. They had so much fun


This was on our hike up past the fallen down cabin


Makenna and Wes down by the little stream

She had so much fun throwing rocks in the water

This was Cam falling into the water and I couldn't stop laughing. It was so funny! And he only had one arm to try and help himself back up. (It's only funny because I had just fallen in a couple minutes earlier)

Such a cute family!

This was on our way back just before I fell down. Luckily I saved Kason from getting hurt. My leg on the other hand says otherwise.

Kason loved the swing

Family Pictures

Last week we had Weston's cousin Dayna (Dayzy Photography) take our pictures. They are Kason's 6 month, Makenna's 3 year and our family pictures. She did such an amazing job! I just love these pictures. They only problem is, there are too many cute ones to choose from! And I have to say I have the two cutest kids in the world! They both cooperated and were so well behaved and they took some adorable pics. So there are tons on here but I just had to do a slide show to show them off. I can't wait to get some prints made!

Gymnastics

This summer I decided to put Makenna in gymnastics since we had the summer off from dance. Makenna just loves it, and as for me, I don't think I'm such a fan. Sure, it has been great for her, she has learned so much and has become so brave about things. Actually too brave. She is always jumping around the house, off the love sac, from couch to couch down the stairs, just about any where she can think. She also tried to do a flip in the shopping cart at Target. So now I am trying to teach her when it is appropriate to do her gymnastics. Or as she calls it "ba"nastics. She has even asked Weston for a flip bar. But any ways, today they had there pass offs at class so Weston came and watched her and we got some pictures. She did a good job and she was so excited to have us there watching her.

Practicing her handstands

Going to the next station to do a cartwheel


This is her practicing where to put her hands for her cartwheels


This is the actually cartwheel. She doesn't get her feet up over her but she is making lots of progress.

We have a video of her on the uneven bars that is really cute. So once I get Weston to post that we will get that up. But she can do the scissors with her legs and then a flip over the bar with some help. She just loves that!

6 Months Old

I can't believe how time flies by! Kason is already 6 months old. He is rolling over, and sitting with help, although he prefers to stand or lay down. And he is eating cereal and squash. He loves the Gerber Graduates little puffs too. I just can't believe he is such a big boy now. The last couple of days he has been eating his toes. It is just the cutest thing. He just lifts his legs up and sticks his foot in his mouth. He is so flexible! Well, since Kason's birthday is right after Christmas, I have decided to give him a half birthday. I tried this with Makenna and Wes just made fun of me. But with Kason this is a must. So he got a few presents and a cake that he didn't get to eat! I'm so mean! I make the kid a cake but I wouldn't share!

Here he is with his cake and he is about to eat his toes again!

He got jammies

And a cool tool bench toy

And his first sippy cup today. He can suck the water out really good but he won't swallow it. He just lets it run down the front of him. Silly boy!

He is such a wiggle worm. I couldn't get him to sit still for a picture. This is the best I could get!

Also, here are his 6 months stats

Height 26 inches 34.67%

Weight 16.14 lbs 25.27%

Head 17 inches 33.74%

Man I just love this little guy so much! He has the cutest little laugh and smile. It is adorable! I just can't even imagine life with out him. Weston says I am a baby hog and I totally admit that I am! But I just can't stop holding and snuggling him. He is just the sweetest little guy and I'm so glad he is apart of our family.

Round-up Week

Last week was a very busy week. It was the annual Lehi Round-up. We had things going on almost every day. It was a very crazy but very fun week. I was able to get some pictures of all the festivities but not all of them.

Monday - We went and had a picnic in the park with my family and listened to Lehi's got talent.

Tuesday - I took Kason to the baby contest

Wednesday - We decorated the Southwick's house to get ready for Weston's brother to get home from his mission

Thursday - We went to the airport to pick up Weston's parents and his brother Cameron

Isn't she such a doll! She was so excited for Cam to get home but she got very nervous and shy when it came down to it.

Kason meeting his uncle Cam for the first time!

Thursday - We went to the stock parade

Family night at the rodeo

Makenna and Avery

Kason was a handful at the rodeo but I'm glad he got to go for his first time.


Just getting ready for everything to start

The cutest little cowgirl ever!

Friday - Miniature parade and Weston and I went on a date to the rodeo

Saturday - We went to the Grand Parade

Family fun days at the park

Last night for the rodeo

Kason just hanging out again! He had fun watching everything and eating snow cones!


Makenna loves the horses

We watched the parade at Shane and Cali's. Makenna loves Shali to pieces!

We had so much fun this year. The last night of the rodeo they motorcycles even did a back flip. it was pretty sweet! Makenna loved to do and see everything. And Kason was a good sport to be carried all around. He was a good boy. But it was lots of fun and we can't wait for next year! We just love all the parades, rodeo's and activities.

Who is who?

Thursday night at the Rodeo was "Tough enough to wear Pink" night and I thought Kason was pretty tough. So I put a pink shirt on him under is outfit. But when I put it on him Weston and I both about died! He looked so much like Makenna. So I had to go find a bow to put on him. I wanted to take a picture and compare with Makenna's pictures and I didn't have pictures of her with out a bow on. So what does everyone think? Don't they look so much alike? Who is who?

Strawberry Days

Last week was Pleasant Grove's Strawberry Days and my little sister invited us to go to the carnival. This was Makenna's first time at a carnival. We let her ride the carousel at the mall once but that is the extent of rides for her. But she loved it! She wanted to try them all. She didn't even get scarred on the big caterpillar ride. I on the other hand was terrified watching her go up and down and around. It was such a big ride for a 3 year old. But she loved it all. Thanks Shellie for the invite! We all had so much fun!

Kason loves Snow Cones! He just chows down on them!
