July Fun!!

This summer has been jam-packed full of fun things.  With two holidays, lots of trips to the pool and the park, and playing with friends and cousins summer is flying by and I'm bummed it is almost over for us. 

4th of July we had the cousins over for fireworks. Ashton wasn't feeling really good but he still had a good time and they loved the fireworks this year.  Carter hung around for a few minutes before he crashed and went to bed.

Fun days with friends and cousins

Swimming at the SF pool

In Springville at one of nan's friends house.  Ashton and Addy did the water slide the entire time we were there.  It was tons of fun.

Bike ride in the park.  This day turned out to be so hot when we started on our ride.  They were such troopers and made it all the way.  They sure had some red cheeks and were sweaty.

 Fun backyard swim days with the neighbors

Games in the park with the cousins.

Ashton is such a brave boy!

July 1st Ashton had his tonsils and adenoids taken out and a second set of tubes in his ears.  He was such a brave boy at the hospital and he has done a great job recovering since.  We spent lots of days in my bed watching Wreck it Ralph over and over again.  He lived off of juice, pudding and popsicles. It's taken him longer to back to his regular self than I thought it would, but yesterday and today he seems to be feeling like himself!

 

 

Happy Birthday to Ashton and Addy

Wow!  My twinners are 4 years old.  Where has the time gone. They are getting so big and don't seem like to ddlers to me anymore.  They are starting to do things that big kids do and it's so crazy that my little babies are growing up.  They are such individuals. Addy is such a girly-girl and loves princesses, playing with her little girlfriends, dress-up, and all things girl.  She is also full of attitude and sass. She usually spends time on the time-out chair about everyday for her sassy little mouth!  I can't believe how she acts sometimes.  I think she gets it from the Hales' side.  Ashton is still into cars, trains, Toy Story and he is perfectly content to play with his toys by himself.  He is usually very sweet, but is starting to act more like a rough boy all the time.  He is starting to be into super heros and bad guys.  I feel so lucky to get to be mommy to these two sweethearts and I love seeing them still be best friends together even though they have other friends and have different interests.  Love you two!!

This year for they party we just kept things simple with family and friends, and cake and ice cream.  They got some great presents and had so much fun playing with their cousins and friends. We had everyone over on Saturday for their little party and then on Sunday they got presents from Mom and Dad and from my family, since they weren't able to come on Saturday.

So me and Sharon found this Cinderella carriage on an after Christmas sale for a killer price.  She was SO excited.  Her reactions was priceless. Jumping up and down screaming.  She ran over to Nan for a big hug and papa even got one too!

All three babies in the Hales family all born a month apart.  Carter is the oldest, but he is huge!!
