Fun Run & Some Sun

A few weekends ago our stake did a fun run for adults and kids.  Addie loved running in the kids' race, so much in fact she did it twice!  I think she just wanted two Popsicles :)

Later that day we went to Lagoon A Beach, we thought we should at least try it out this summer with our passes.  Izze loved riding in the tube on the lazy river and Addie loved going down the kid slides.  It sure fills up with a lot of people by the afternoon so we opted to go ride some regular rides too.  We sure have loved our season passes and are excited they last until the end of October.

Sticky Mess

This morning I gave Izze a waffle with plenty of syrup for breakfast.  She proceeded to throw the nicely cut up bites onto the floor, aargh.  I wasn't ready to get her down yet so I gave her some fruit loops to distract her.   I didn't realize she had bathed herself in the syrup and I turned around to find a fruit loop stuck to the side of her eye.  I couldn't stop laughing, because she kept trying to get it off but she was so sticky it didn't work.

 

Ridin' Bikes & Takin' Hikes

In the past couple of weeks Addie has enjoyed riding her bike any chance she can get it.  We have enjoyed going to the parkway with some friends and Addie is getting a little faster each time.  She is getting better at finding her strength to pedal up the hills and she has even managed to ride with no hands for a few seconds.  Addie loves to wear her helmet, even into stores :), and she always asks if she can ride her bike in the store.

We have also enjoyed some time up in the Big Cottonwood Canyon.  Last week we went with some friends and lots of little kiddos to hike Donut Falls.  It was so pretty and Addie did the entire hike herself with only one little meltdown.  It sure is pretty up there and we hope to get up there again soon!

The Climber

For the past month or so Izze has taken to climbing on top of things, either to conquer it or just to sit there.  I have tried to capture each one with a picture, but some I just didn't dare leave her to get the camera :)  Izze has also managed to fall in the tub, clothes and all, it rather scared her for it hasn't happened again. 

I also took a video of her sitting on the tote, it is well worth the watch for the last second, too funny!

 And this video is of her dancing to "Hairspray" and doing her shimmy shakes as we like to call them.

St. George or Bust

Last weekend we went to St. George to meet up with some of Andrew's family to celebrate the July birthdays.  We were able to meet up with our good friends, the Warner's, and of course sweet Laura did a birthday celebration for Izze - thanks again :)  We had so much fun hanging out and watching the kids play.

On Saturday we went to the city pool with Andrew's family for some fun in the sun.  Addie loved playing with her cousins and jumping off the side of the pool, she was even brave enough to ditch the life jacket, yay!  Izze loved being in her floaty and splashing in the water as well.   That night we celebrated Kai's birthday and Izze's birthday with cake, presents, and good times.  On Sunday we celebrated Katie's birthday and then sadly we drove back home :(  We sure do miss St. George, but I'm sure we'll visit again soon enough.
