24th of July and Hiking

On the 23rd of July we went to the Bountiful Parade for a little bit but if you notice in the second picture, Jaxson doesn't do well in heat, so we ended up watching the rest of the parade from El Matador.





On the 24th of July we had my family come for a bbq and playing water games in the back yard. It was a lot of fun. We didn't get pictures of water ballon volleyball though, which was on of the highlights of the day.




















When Jon's mom was here she invited us to go on a hike with her and Hillary's family to Donut Falls, which is in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Jaxson did pretty good for his first hike. It was also Valerie's, at 4 or 5 weeks old.


Jaxson loved throwing rocks in the creek. He loved it so much, he wouldn't hike back down the mountain. He threw a fit the whole way to the car. Sooo the way up was great, made me want to go hiking more, but then on the way down, I was ready to start crying myself.

This is Abby on her Birthday. She was given Hannah Montana jewelry and stuff to dress up in. I think she looks pretty awesome. She turned 5 years old on July 29th.

I thought Jaxson did a great job hiking. It is always hard to pull kids away from water. The only reason my kids left so willingly is because they knew there was food at the end.

Tell Abby she looks awsome.

You guys need a back pack like we have for Bethany! They are always great for when they get too tired and no one wants to carry them!! I'm glad you had a good time on the hike at least on the way up. The 24th of July looked fun too. Wish we would have been there to celebrate with you!
