July Happenings!!!

In my last post I forgot to post pictures from Bay's dance/tumbling recital on June 24! It was so cute! Their routine was to "I've got no strings" from Pinocchio! I loved their costumes I thought they were so cute! Bailey really enjoyed tumbling and always looked forward to going. She didn't start until February or March where as the actual class she was in began in September so she was a little behind but loved every minute of it. Their routine was so cute and all the girls did great! At one point their was a traffic jam caused by Bay. Bay couldn't get herself to roll over from a sitting spread position to do a somersault and all the girls were waiting for her to move so they could do theirs! It was pretty funny!
These are Bay's tumbling friends: Alivia, Lauren, and then Bay. Bay got to go to Alivia's birthday party last week and she got to dress up as Tinker Bell so she was way excited! She was looking forward to the party all week! She had so much fun!
Our little fish that Bay got during a preschool lesson on pets has died! I think ours was one of the last fish still alive. All of the other kid's fish died months ago! Lucky us that we got one that kept on living! This fish went through several names. First it was Foofy, then Madagascar, then Goldie, then Giraffe, then Zebra, then Sami, and there could have been more. The name changed so frequently that it was hard to keep track.
This is our happy little SWBy enjoying a treat! He really is the happiest baby. Always smiling and laughing. However, I think he is a bit spoiled. I watched him play fetch with his sister one day. He grunts to get what he wants and he was sitting on the couch grunting at Bay for things he wanted. Bay being such a nice sister would go and get him toys that he would point to and grunt and when she brought them to him he would shove it away and grunt for something else.
Spencer's family came for a visit in July, so one night we got to have most of the cousins spend the night at our house! It was so fun! Bay had such a fun time with them.

The Monday after the 4Th we got to go to Lagoon with Spencer's family! It was so fun! I had never been before and now that I have I think we will have to go a lot more! The kids had a great time! SWBy loves his cars and he got to go on this car ride with Bay (above). The poor kid was beside himself when the ride was over and he had to get out of the car!
This is Bay and her cousins on a rocket ride!
Anna, Bay, and Liza-Bay's cousins We were so glad we got to see them!
The weekend of the 4Th we got to go to Island Park Idaho and spend it with my family. My mom, dad, step mom, sister, and one of my brother's and his family were all there! It was a fun weekend but the mosquito's were horrible. I couldn't stand being outside because I kept getting bites. SWBy and Bay got quite a few too. Every time we go to Idaho we always go to Yellowstone! The picture above is in Yellowstone! It was so fun! It's always amazing seeing all those animals close up!
Sami, SWBy, Jo and Zane.
Here we are at the geysers in Yellowstone. Always a smelly good time!
Here is Grandma Jo, Bay and Grandma or as Bay calls her my "tall grandma."
Bay wasn't afraid to pose for the camera! I love it!
