4th of July

We had such a good time this 4th of July!!! We just hung out and enjoyed being able to get outside and hang out!! Friday night we had a bonfire and roasted marsh mellows and made smores and sat around talking and laughing!! Saturday we all headed to the Taylor pool to go swimming and invade the twins while they were life guarding!!! Then we came home and had a BBQ with some yummy tri tip that my dad makes!!! After that we headed into town to watch the fireworks but we didn't want to get in the mess of things so we went to Dairy Queen and sat outside on the benches and watched the fireworks!!!

Helping Papa work!!

Monroe helping feeding the horses!! The girls LOVE going up to Payson they get to do so many things that they cant do down here the valley!!!

Fishing with Uncle Stratton!!

The girls had a lot of fun catching fishing bait for Luke. I thought that Patsy would have nothing to do with it but it turns out she loved it!! She was not scared at all to grab the fish and walk clear across the parking lot to bring the fish to Luke!! Monroe was a little chicken and would take off running when she saw the fish!!


I do not know how Monroe got so dirty!! But she was dirty from head to toe!!!

Circus

We took the girls to the Circus on Wednesday along with Aaron's family and had a lot of fun!! We parked in Tempe and took the Light Rail into Phoenix. It was pretty packed because there was a D Backs game the same night but we still enjoyed it and the girls really thought it was fun. We don't get to do much public transportation here in Arizona so it was nice especially because it took you right were we needed to be and we didn't have to pay for parking!!! It was also nice to let the girls experience it. I didn't get too many pics of the circus because it was so dark inside. The girls favorite part was the elephants!!!

Pregnant

We just wanted to announce that we are pregnant with number three!!!!!! It will be due December 17 so right before Christmas!! Patsy and Monroe are VERY excited!! Patsy is already very protective and is making sure that I am eating healthy and taking care of the baby!!

Disneyland and the beach

On the way to Disneyland on the shuttle from the hotel!!! The girls were all so excited!! We started at 9am and ended up staying until 8pm!!!!

Aaron's brother Tim and his girlfriend Eryn came over from San Diego to hang out at Disneyland and we were really glad that they did because it made it a lot more fun!!!


The girls thought that this was so cool!!!! They were so excited to meet the princesses because Patsy said that they come from Royal Families!!!
Here is a picture of Monroe getting done with Space Mountain!!! It was her first big ride and she was crying :( she said that it was too dark!!!

Monroe Swim Lesson

Last year I posted pictures of Patsy and her first swimming lessons so I thought that I better post some pictures of Monroe and her first swim lessons. Both the girls took swim lessons this year and they have helped out a lot!! Patsy is becoming a very good swimmer and Monroe is starting to get more comfortable in the water!!
