JULY 2012

Whew!  July was a stressful, HOT, crazy, and fun month.  We have been super busy this month (like usual).  We had lots of fun with Grandma Shelly and cousins, holidays, painting, remodeling, getting new countertops and so much more.  We moved to Herriman in June and life hasn't settled down since.  It's been a zoo at our house.

July 4th we spent it with cousins having a water party, BBQ, and watching fireworks.

Tomato anyone?  Ryker has been such a FABULOUS eater from the very beginning.  He LOVED EVERYTHING!  His absolute favorite foods were tomatoes, onions, green and red peppers, zuchinni, squash, sweet potato, and much more.  Unfortunately since Ryker has been teething he doesn't eat as much or as well as he used to.  But we still manage to sneak in a few healthy foods.

I love watching these two boys play together.  They are becoming such good buds.

Tayson started playing soccer and is doing such a great job.  He really has loved playing soccer and has made at least 1 goal and sometimes 2 goals each game.  It is so fun watching him!

Grandma Shelly came up North for a few days and we made a few special trips to Thanksgiving Point to go to the Dinosaur Museum, Hogle Zoo, movie theatre, and dinner.

Ryker and his adorable "cheese" face.

Trip to the theatre to see the movie Ice Age.

July 24th we went to the Herriman Reservoir with cousins, ate pizza at our house, and watched fireworks in the street.

Unexpected nap time.

Taylor works for the firm Siegfried and Jensen and is lucky to work for such a great company who takes care of their employees.  They have all kinds of get togethers, giveaways, trips and much more.  The firm has tickets to The Salt Lake Bees, Lagoon, Real Salt Lake, The Jazz and more.  We took advantage of an opportunity to go to a Bees game and had so much fun.  We got balloons, ate yummy nachos and hot dogs, and hung out as a family.

Happy July!

JUNE 2012

June was a busy month.  We had our annual Law School reunion, Tayson's birthday, and moved into our new home in Herriman. I spent most of June unpacking boxes, shopping for new items for the home, and organizing the home, oh and did I mention shopping for new items for the house?  I think Taylor was ready to swipe the debit card from me with all the shopping I did.   Oopsy!

The end of May and the beginning of June we had our annual Law School "Marmots" Reunion.  Taylor and I were the hosts this year and we had so much fun planning and preparing for this weekend.  We played games, ate, visited, ate, swam, visited, got pedicures, golfed, ate, shopped, oh and did I mention eating and visiting?  We sure did do alot of that!  We had a blast!

Brynlee lost her very first tooth and she could not have been more excited about it.  She has absolutely no fear!  The second she noticed her tooth was a little loose she began wiggling that tooth until it was ready to pop out.  She begged Taylor every day for weeks to just pull it out.  Like I said, she has no fear.

Tayson had a birthday and turned the BIG number 4.  We went to St. George to celebrate his birthday with family and to also pick up another truck load of stuff to bring back up with us to Herriman.  We had the traditional birthday breakfast doughnut, went swimming, ate pizza, opened presents and had cake and Ice Cream.

Taking a nap on mom and dad's bed.

Grandma North had a family reunion in Heber and we all got to enjoy visiting with family, eating, and playing games.  The kids got to dig in a pool of sawdust for some money and were tickled with how much money they came home with.

We had a very busy month but still managed to have some fun and enjoy being with family.  I hope you all did the same.  Happy Summer!
