A really big post!

I love this picture of the boys! So cute and best friends.

I haven't blogged about the 4th of July, pictures of Kids Kamp, going to the zoo with dad, another lost tooth, eating ice cream on the stove, the weekend when Ang was here, going to the dentist, Max riding a two wheel bike, Bryce Canyon, and the Bountiful 24th of July parade. Boy am I behind. We have been having a busy July and we like it to be busy. Alysa is almost finished with her Arts & Crafts class at the park. I think I will be glad when that is over, however Eric's mom set up swimming lessons on Wed and Friday for a little bit. I know that soccer starts soon too, but we like to be busy.

So... basically here is the whole month of July in one post :)

Here are pictures of the 4th of July.

We went to the breakfast at the Centerville park, to the parade and then the little carnival after. I waited in line for a snowcone for 45 minutes. Don't ask why... Then we headed to Eric's parents for swimming, BBQ, cousins and fireworks (Ryan had to have a bath half way through because he was gross). It was a nice relaxing day. We headed home before all of the fireworks were done, because I was tired.

Alysa and I caught the Lagoon fireworks. They were a perfect ending to a great day.

Next... Pictures of Kids Camp. Alysa had such a good time, especially since her and Braden got to go together.

Going to the zoo with dad. Eric gave me a much needed break and took the kids to the zoo for the morning. They had a great time. They rode the new merry-go-round and enjoyed their time together in the hot sun. Eric did a good job taking the pictures.

Another lost tooth. Here is the picture of Alysa second top tooth missing. She is so funny without it. When she first lost it, she said "I am going to athsk Max, athsk Max, athsk Max a question" I laughed because she could not say the work ask. She is getting too big!

Eating ice cream on the stove... Ryan and I were home one day and the kids had left. He was crying, tired and sad that he was alone. So we decided to have ice cream. I dished it up and he grabbed a stool and climbed up on the stove to enjoy his ice cream. Why there? I have no idea.

then what happened?

Angie came to visit so she could go to her high school reunion. We had such a good time. We went to Farmington Festival days and had french toast in the park, then enjoyed the parade, we had shower for her - Jen came and surprised her, we talked until 2:00 in the morning, laughed and enjoyed being with my kids.

So, we finally went to the dentist. I have taken Alysa once before, so I figured it was about time. The dentist said that Alysa has 5 problem spots, Ryan has 2 problem spots and Max has no problem spots. I remember as a kid going to the dentist, Angie and Jen would have lots of cavities and I would always have none. This was always the case and I felt so cool not to have to go back to the dentist to get this fixed. I never had any problems until after Alysa was born. After Alysa was born, I went to the dentist and had to have 8 or so cavities filled. Terrible! All of those years of nothing, ruined in one time! We have to go back on the 5th of Aug. Hopefully they are good.

Max learned how to ride a two wheel bike. He is afraid of stopping because he can't figure out how to put his feet down so he just jumps from his bike. What a great kid.

almost caught up. I will post about Bryce Canyon in another post as it is really long.
