Bear Lake Trip & Zach's Birthday

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Like I said i didn't get very many pictures. I've decided it's hard to get pictures when you have a baby and husband that likes to play. Over all we had a blast. Brooklyn slept there and back which made the drive a ton better. On the way home we stopped in a few places so that the boys could fish. Zach is now a big FISHERMAN. He has been going fishing whenever possible. In fact for his birthday he took all his birthday money and bought fishing gear (tackle box, lures, swivels, and hooks). I am such a bad wife, I didn't get ANY pictures on his birthday. I do blame some of this on him though. He didn't want a cake, which usually makes a camera moment. Instead we had root beer floats. Don't worry though he did get his twenty one candles... on a birthday card!!! We also had some friends come and stay Friday and Saturday to sort of celebrate, which was good for Zach because I was working and because we miss our friends down in SLC (plus they have a way super cute baby boy that we get to cuddle). I did take Zach out for dinner on his Birthday. We went to our new favorite restaurant in Logan 'La Sabor' the food was good but it was almost too hot to eat. Later that night we did some fireworks and then had a hot dog roast....

HAPPY TWENTY ONE ZACHIE POO!!!

Fishin' Trip

Last week we decided one night to take Brooklyn and go fishing. It was so fun...at first. We coated ourselves in bug spray but we were still getting mosquito bites. I had dressed Brooklyn in long sleeves and pants so she didn't get any bites, thank goodness but I think she was a little warm. We started fishing and we were having fun (I caught a fish on my first cast) and then Brooklyn started fussing. Well we had spent time at my mom's that day and I didn't repack the diaper bag so we had no food just a bottle and she didn't want it. Then I noticed she needed a diaper change but when I went to change her I sat the only new diaper in our fish bait... GRRR!!! So we only ended up fishing for an hour and a half but now we know to prepare better next time!!

Happy Fourth of July, 2008

This was Brooklyn's first fourth of July. It was kind of different this year. Zach's Parent's came up the night before and stayed the night so they could go celebrate with us and watch Zach at the trap shoot. I had to work so I was only there for half of it. All the people that are my age that were there were all weird. There were so many people we didn't even know. Over all I guess it was a good day. Check my mom's blog for firework pictures, Brooklyn and Zach did a sparkler... I missed it :(

This is the outfit that Sarah bought for her... perfect for the occasion. I was going to have her wear a red shirt and some capri's but she would have been way to hot. This little outfit worked perfect. Thanks Sarah.

Mark, Tammy, Brooklyn and me. Brooklyn was trying to figure out how to get the cup holder out so she could suck on it...

Jamie, Brooklyn, adn Jade in the children's parade. We didn't dress them up because we had no idea what the theme was but they still walked.

Thanks Jamie for walking her through the parade!

Zach at the Trap shoot. This year he did very well, he won in his age division. He was super excited and I was very happy for him. He got chocolate, pop, and a little but of cash!

Zach shooting. If you look closely you can see the casing right above the barrel of the gun, pretty cool huh?

Brooklyn actually fell asleep at the trap shoot. She jumped after the first shot but slept through most of the rest. I was surprised it didn't scare her.

Bass Fishing

Zach and my dad have been spending a lot of time working together this week. It's shutdown at Autoliv so they have been working here in Elwood, mostly for Roger on the bird club. One day after they got done doing some work they decided to take a break and go fishing. They were gone quite a while but had a blast. Zach was the only one who snagged a Bass but they also got a ton of trout. Dinner was great that night!
