Well it is just us again and we are bored. We went with my sister to Utah and watched the Pioneer Parade in Salt Lake. After the parade, we drove home and my sister and kids made their way back to California. When we got home Hunter was calling out for his cousins. Pretty sad.
Brooke is too much of a scooter bug for her little cradle. So last night was Hunter's first night in a bed and not the crib so that Brooke can be in the crib. Well it was our first attempt and we had success!! He rolled off the mattress around 6 am and brad brought him into bed with us. So today for nap i tried the bed again and SUCCESS!!! i am just so glad. I hope that when it comes time to potty train it will be this easy. Laugh it up experienced moms! i can hope cant i!? ANyway, Hunter now sleeping in his bed (by bed i mean a mattress on the floor) is our big news!

California Fun
We got back Sunday at 3 am. We enjoyed our time in California even if it was over 100 degrees everyday. It was great to be able to be there for Maren's baptism and that she asked me to speak. I was really touched by that. My sister and her 3 kids came back with us! This is what summer is all about, cousins, Cousins, COUSINS!!

4th of July Weekend
Well our weekend started with a bang on friday night. As we were packing up to go out the door, Hunter tripped and fell and hit his head on the tub! He had a big ole goose egg right in the middle of his forehead! he looked like a unicorn! Poor boy!
As we were getting ready to go to Shelley on Friday we had a big rain storm. Hunter hit his head and then finally we were out the door. We had a family BBQ at Brad's aunt's house and all the cousins were there. It was a little chilly, but not too bad. Hunter had so much fun running and playing with the kids. We played a game of volleyball and then did some fireworks of our own there. Hunter was more interested in every "choo choo" he could hear in the distance as well as the tractor toys they had to play with. I dont know why Brad is making goofey faces in all these pictures. its so out of character for him.
For the 4th of July we went to Logan to go to the car show. We went with Brad's parents and Dave and Jaimi and their kids. There are about a billion pictures on the camera of cars but i will spare you. This isnt really my thing, but brad was happy and he enjoys it.My higlight of this was when a lady came out of the bathroom with TP hanging out of her pants!! I also enjoyed talking with Tammy and Jaimi. The men walked in front looking at all the cars and we followed with the kiddos. The weather wasnt too bad until the afternoon. We took the kids to play in a little stream. Eventually Gookie (Brooke) had had it! i took the kids to the car where i could turn on the A.C. and feed Gookie. The minute Hunter was in his seat he was OUT!! He was so tired. Brad came to the car and saw that both the kids were asleep and we decided to just drive back and make it to the fireworks in Idaho Falls. Hunter slept most of the way back, he was sooo tired! it was like 5 in the afternoon. Eventually i had to sit in the back so i could feed Gookie again. Thank you Memaw for letting us use your car!
We got to Idaho Falls around 7. We have a special spot that we go to with Aunt Kim and other family members. It is thee best place. Hunter ran around after sitting basically all day and we had some good food. i just want to make a shout out to Bradley. He is so great. I am just soo appreciative of all of his help. Hunter was running around and i had Gookie and we were both trying to eat. Brad wanted to play ultimate frisby with everyone so he took hunter with him and hunter just ran around with them. Brad is just so helpful and doesnt just expect me to watch the kids. He is a great man. Just wanted everyone to know that.
The fireworks were amazing. They are like 30 minutes long and set to music on the radio. The man who owns Malaleuca pays for them wich is WHY they are so amazing. Hunter did like these fireworks and would say "yellow" for every one. Here are pictures and a video of them. I did the video thinking of my mom who love fireworks but i am pretty sure they dont have them in africa. i am also pretty sure mom even forgot it was the 4th of july. Anyway, we got home late and went straight to bed. It was a busy weekend, fun and eventful. Another plus, we didnt get sunburned!
