Quinton's Birthday

On July 14th Quinton turned three years old. I can't believe he is already three. What happened to my baby?! We had a fun filled day and I am one lucky momma to have such a cute little boy!!We went to the movie Cars 2 and then had a little baseball party(his choice)with family and friends. He had a super fun day and is still talking about it.

Q's first movie experience. His favorite part may have been the popcorn and soda.


The party!!! While we were setting up Quinton kept telling me "Mom this is Awesome". Well worth all the work to see him so excited.

The Happy Birthday song. He got a little shy.

The pinata

We got Q a mobigo and I'm pretty sure it is the best $40 I have ever spent. He loves it and will play on it for hours.

The Decor and goodies. I asked Q if he wanted cupcakes or a cake and thanks goodness he said cupcakes...so much easier than a cake.

Happy Birthday Quinton!!! We sure do love you!!!

4th of July

We had a super fun 4th of July. The weekend consisted of a trip to Jackson Hole, Sweet firework show at my parents(we stopped at Alpine on the way to Jackson), Parade, and Fireworks at the river. My parents bought Q this light sword at the fireworks and he thought it was awesome. He thought the fireworks were pretty cool also. When we got in the car to head home all he could say was "That was Awesome. I want to see those fireworks again."
All the kids with their swords

Quinton has been a little bit obsessed with grandma lately. He didn't even sit by Bran and I at the fireworks cause he was to busy cuddling with her and my Dad.

Apparently Grandpa is the perfect seat.

Parade Fun!!! Quinton was interested in the parade for about the first half then he lost interest. Bran went golfing that morning and when he asked Q what he saw at the parade he said "Umm cars." Yep that pretty much sums up the parade.

USA USA!!!

Here it comes. Ohh the anticipation....

Fireworks out at my parents.

"They go up high like this Mom"

Jackson Hole

Utah Trip

At the end of June we went to Utah for the weekend and
had so much fun!! We stayed the first night with our good
friends Calyn and Trevor at their time share in Ogden.
They had a super fun pool and slide for the kids. Their
little boy Drake and Quinton had such a good time running
around together. Thank you Petersens for having us. We
then drove to Logan that next day to hear my cousin Chad's
mission farewell talk. After that we headed to SLC and
stayed a night there so we could take Q to Hogle Zoo the
next day. We also went to the Aquarium and to the Mayan
restaurant to eat. Quinton had the time of his life and talked
about that trip for days. When we got home and he said his
prayers that night it went something like "Dear Heavenly
Father thank you for the zoo. Thank you for the monkeys.
Thank you for the dinosaurs. Thank you for the elephants.
Thank you for the giraffes. Name of Jesus Christ Amen."
Pretty darn cute if you ask me!!

Quinton loved the Train at the Zoo

And the Carousal

They had a dinosaur exhibit going on at the Zoo and Q thought that was Awesome!! Quinton's favorite was the little dinosaurs that sprayed him with water. He was not a huge fan of this big one though. His roar was a little much for Quinton. (I can't believe I put this picture on here cause I look absolutely HUGE. 34 weeks pregnant is not the best look for me.)

Can you see the dinosaur??

Eating at the Mayan restaurant. Q thought the divers were pretty cool!!!

Pictures from the Aquarium

He loved the turtles and the Nemo fish

They let you touch the stingray but Q did not want any part of that.

Hanging out at the pool

These two boys are so Cute together. They sure had fun!!!

Water slide pictures. I still can't decided if the look of sheer terror on his face is funny or sad. I was so shocked that Q even attempted the water slide by himself. I did have to walk him up the stairs and send/nudge him down. He only did it twice but I was so proud of him!!

This was his last time going down and I can see why. Pretty sure he hit his head coming out.

Summer Time

We love Summer time!!! Here is how we have spent our summer so far.

Enjoying some fun activities with Dad...Golfing

Mowing the lawn. Q loves to follow Bran around the yard and help him mow. I really should invest in a little lawn mower so he doesn't have to push this pretend mower around.

We have enjoyed the nice weather with swimming pools and slip n' slides

Q fell into the sprinklers on the slip n' slide and did not think it was too funny.

A few weeks ago we went to the zoo with our good buddies Jessica and Krew. The kids had tons of fun running around but I think the highlight was the petting zoo. They thought the goats were quite entertaining.

Feeding the goats or I should say goat with the one piece of food we got from the quarter machine. Yeah we got ripped off!!!

Cute boys!!

Checking out the Tigers

My favorite little boy!!

My cute mom had her 50th birthday so we had to throw her a party. We picked her up from the golf course in this hearse in front of all her friends. My dad even dressed up in a suit just like a mortitian. Pretty funny stuff!! She was so shocked and a little embarrassed. Are we mean children or what?! She rode in the hearse back to her house where we had it all decorated. Hope you had a great day Mom. We sure love you!!!












Quinton giving Grandma some loves on her birthday.

At the beginning of the month I turned the big 25!! I went to lunch with my mom and sisters and then Quinton went and stayed the night with my parents while Bran and I enjoyed dinner and movie. It was a great day!!
