Our 4th of July

We started our 4th of July off by heading over to the Provo Freedom Festival, kind of disappointing, it was just a bunch of vendors selling crap. The cutest part was when we were waiting for the crowds of people to move when Lucy spotted two dogs, she started to say woof woof and pointed right at them. The owner was nice enough to let Lucy pet them. When she gets excited she stiffs her legs and gets really tense throughout her body, it rather cute if you know why she is doing it. We were however able fit in a spot in the kid corner and color a picture of a flag. Lucy is trying out the crayons, still very cautious seeing how everything goes right to her mouth with out question.
After the Freedom Festival we decided we needed to cool down with some ice cream. we got Lucy her very own ice cream cone and she loved it! Ate the whole thing by herself! Once home we lite up some sparklers and smoke bombs that Sterling picked up. Next year we plan on purchasing bigger fireworks seeing how both kiddos were totally chill with all the noise of the other fireworks going on. Off to the park we went afterward. Lucy was so tired after the long day and heat that it was just a relaxing time. There were loads of families there celebrating together and it really made me miss our families. On our walk home we stopped and chatted with some friends/neighbors, being so late in the day we called it a night and headed home for bed. That was our 4th of July-totally low key, but hey with two kids it was fun and exhausting!

Pumkins anyone?!!

This year we tried the whole farmer thing and planted starter seeds in the house. Totally unsuccessful due to winter like weather up until mid April we gave up. All of our starter seeds died in one after noon when placed out on the porch to get some sun when a freak snow storm killed them all. We didn't totally give up, we decided to try planting pumpkins in what was the flower beds,today we surprisingly have some what of a garden of pumpkins. Since the successful growth of our pumpkins we ventured to be back yard and have planted acorn squash, zucchini, rhubarb, tomatoes and white pumpkins! I cant wait for next year, we will be planting much more with hopes we can find someone with a commercial grade rototiller.

100,000 miles

This past Friday we watched as the odometer turn 100k miles in the Kia. A little history about our Kia- My sister Summer and I bought the car back in 2006, Valentines day to be exact (funny enough we purchased all three cars on Valentines day, in three consecutive years). We purchased the Kia with only 1200k miles. After college I ended up with the Kia and Summer kept the Alero. A many times did I think about trading it in only to realize I couldn't find a better car. Fast forward to present time- I can still say its the best little car ever! My only hope is to be able to see our Kia last long enough for Lucy to enjoy when she starts to drive.

Liam smiles

This is about three weeks late (better late then never I guess). Liam has officially start to smile! At 10 weeks Liam has kept his big blue eyes which look gorgeous with his big love able smile. As Sterling would say he is our "ginger child" with his red hair. He is a people person and hates to be left alone. Liam loves to watch his big sister play while he sits in the swing, he also loves it when Lucy reads to him. Below are some of the first smiles we have on camera.
