Here it is...an update

Here's what's been going on around the Hales' house the last couple months:

Roasting marshmallows.  It was Ashton and Addy's first campfire s'more.  They actually weren't super
impressed with them.

This is at the parade.  They loved the fire trucks, the bands and Addy loved the cheerleaders.
At the Salem Days parade they actually throw quite a bit of candy so they had fun grabbing candy as they threw it.

A little tootsie roll stuck to his teeth...

We love living so close to the Elementary school.  It is so close for us to go play on the playground and it is never busy.

We also got to go to the zoo.  We got in the morning before it was too hot and the tigers were the first thing we saw.  They were so active, playing in the water and walking around.  The kids loved the tigers!

The rest of our summer....

To start off me, my mom, my grandma, my sister and Ashton and Addy went to St. George for a few days to go to Tuachan and hang out in the pool.  It was so hot that the pool felt awesome and Tuachan was so fun.  It was a great girls getaway and we had tons of fun. 

Next, came Ashton and Addy's third birthday.  Where does the time go?  It's so crazy to me that they are already three.  They are so cute together most of the time.  Addy has a great time bossing her brother around.  And Ashton usually lets her.  She is into calling him boy and brother, never Ashton.  It's hilarious to hear her yell to him "come here boy!"

This is how we start off their birthday, with their favorite donuts as big as their faces!!

Then we opened presents from mom and dad.  Woody and Jesse toys from Toy Story were the top presents  among other things.

The twins also had this exciting news to share with all their friends and family on their birthday.  They are going to be a big brother and big sister.  We are very excited for this new addition to our family.  More on that later.

Thanks so much to all our friends and family for coming to the party and spoiling these two with so many presents.  It was a great day.

Ashton and Addy got this from their friend Bree for their birthday and it has been a big hit around our house.

We hit up the Owlz game one night with Jordan and Karen and Jackson.  It was hot at first but once it cooled down, we had a great time.  Ashton and Addy especially liked dancing to the music when each batter went to home plate.

Next, came Fiesta Days, one of my favorite parts of the summer.  We kicked it off at the new rodeo arena which is so nice.  We loved the bulls and the horses and the snow cones.

This is at the parade.  Addy was not happy about having her picture taken...

Tractors were Ashton's favorite

Then came the BBQ and swimming party at Nan's house.  They literally swam all afternoon.

That night it was on the park for dinner and a little carnival action.

Finally, we ended the night with fireworks.

What a fun summer we have had doing so many fun things.  My favorite things in life are spending time with my family and we have done lots of that this summer.
