Summer Fun!

Well, I'm finally uploading some pix from June and July. We've had lots of fun these past few weeks...here's a peek!


We decided to get a trampoline for the backyard. It took several days (and some serious digging on Andy's part to get everything set up and level).








The first jump! The tramp was ready for it's maiden voyage late in the evening (thus the pajamas). You can see that this was a moment of BLISS! We added the safety net the next day.











Tin Grins are In!

Rachel got her braces put on in June. Jen made some Smiley Brace-Face cupcakes to celebrate (please don't laugh!). Rachel has handled the new addition to her mouth quite well.










Swimming Lessons!
Sam finished a 2 week round of swimming lessons at the end of June. Rachel decided we needed to celebrate this event, so she made him a Lego Pool Party cookie extravaganza! (He loved it by the way!)













Happy Father's Day!

Andy got his long awaited Rock Band 2 game. Rachel made him a foam hard hat with rocker stickers all over it...so he can look like a really spankin member of the Village People while he's jammin!











Jen and the kids made Andy a snazzy Wii-mote cake.















Sam helped his Cub Den retire an old American Flag during June's Pack meeting. Sam's favorite part was throwing the battered stars and stripes into the fire!










Happy Birthday, Jen!

Jen had a grand birthday. She loved her new iPod docking station and the chocolate peanut butter Cold Stone cake...BUT her favorite gift was Andy's "Cache Cab" game! Thanks again to all of you who provided questions. It was great!











Sam had a great time at Lagoon-a-Beach at Lagoon. He got inside an entire stack of tubes and hid from his cousins!
















Andy grillin some serious dogs on the 4th of July!













Jen's Uncle Dan invited us over to their house in Mapleton to ride their new kid sized 4-wheelers. Our kids have never done anything like this before...and they had a super fun time exploring this new form of entertainment!











Sam wasn't as confident, so he needed some help from his really cool dad!














Look out! Uncle Dan let Andy try out one of his Big Boy Toys!















JONAS BROTHERS!!!! (insert your own stadium full of screaming girls sound clip).

Rachel and cousins Lydia and Morrigan had a screamin' time. Thank you, Grandma Day for taking us!
