24th of July Weekend

We had a pretty good 24th weekend. We had a barbeque at my parents and lit some fireworks. Will just sat quietly and jumped a few times at the loud ones. At the very end I think he realized that it was fire and he started screaming and clapping. Too bad he didn't enjoy them that much the whole time! We let him do a sparkler and he loved it. Rocko didn't seem to mind the fireworks. I was very surprised.




I hardly ever post pictures of Curtis because he flips off the camera so I won't use the picture for anything. I was pretty ticked when I saw these pictures and Curtis couldn't stop laughing. I've decided to start doing some quick editing so I can still use the pictures. Maybe that will get him to stop doing that and I can finally get a cute family picture!





I got sick Friday night and ruined our plans to go boating and to the cabin :( I guess it was nice to have a relaxing weekend at home though. This is what Will spent a lot of the weekend doing. I think he would play with the hose all day if I would let him.

Happy Birthday Curtis!

On Curtis' birthday my mom watched Will while my dad, Curtis, and I took my dad's Rhino for a ride up Mineral Basin. We had so much fun. It was a beautiful ride, but a little bit scary at times!























Holy crap! You can't really tell from the picture, but the front wheel is about three feet off the ground. I really thought it was going to tip over. I don't know how my dad didn't laugh at the face I was making! I got out right after this :)





When we got back we had Five Guys Burgers and Fries for dinner. Will really wanted to eat the cajun fries. I was surprised he liked them, but he kept sticking out his tongue because it was hot.

Thanks for being such a wonderful husband and daddy. Happy birthday Curtis!

Grandpa's Birthday in the Canyon

We went up the canyon to celebrate my dad's birthday on Wednesday. It is so pretty up there, I don't know why we don't go more often.

Helping Grandpa start a fire

Wilbur sure enjoyed his watermelon!
Will was ticked pretty much the whole time because he wanted to touch the fire. He is a little obsessed!
Poor Rocko! We didn't realize that dogs aren't allowed in the canyon. He had to stay tied up in the car the whole time.
S'mores anyone?

Awhile ago, my dad started clapping his hands like he is in the picture and saying "sssssssnap." Will thought it was hilarious and has been doing it ever since. He just puts one arm up in the air and says "ssssssss," and wants you to do it back to him. He does it if I say anything about Grandpa and right when we pull up infront of his house. He also does it to anyone who makes eye contact with him at the store or at church.
Hope you had a happy birthday Dad. We love you!
