Hiking to the waterfalls in Diamond Fork Canyon!

Yesterday we hiked up to some waterfalls in Diamond Fork Canyon. It was a lot of fun but really hot. Randall had Zoe on his back and I carried all the food and water. It was a lot of weight for me to carry but I did it. We had lunch at the waterfalls and played in the water. There were some hot springs there too but they were too hot to play in right now. Zoe fell asleep on the way up to them and on the way back. I guess she is like me because if I am bounced or rocked I fall asleep. Altogether the hike was 5 miles. This morning I could barely stand. It hurts to walk now but it was worth it.

Fireworks!

For the 24th of July we had a lot of fun. We started the day off with the parade in the morning. It was Zoe's first parade and I think she enjoyed it, she liked the princesses. We went with our neighbors the Hunts (Heather and Bailey) so that made it even more fun. After the parade we went home and gave Zoe a nap before we went to the carnival. At the carnival we went to the booths that had lots of stuff like bows, signs clothes, and shoes. Then we went to the rides and Bailey and I rode on some rides together. We took Zoe on the merry-go-round and she thought it was cool. After the carnival we went to Milly's birthday party and had cake and Ice cream, then we took Zoe to the fireworks. They were a lot of fun. They had music and games. It was a fun day and I hope everyone had as much fun as we did.

Parade and Carnival!

Playing at the park.

Spanish Fork is having a carnival and a craft fair all week so we decided to go walk around today. They had some good things at the shops. After we did some shopping we went to the park and played at the playground. The swings were too hot so we just play on the grass. Zoe has some funny faces that i had to capture.

Spanish Fork Fiesta Days Rodeo

Last night we took Zoe to her very first rodeo. It is Fiesta Days in Spanish Fork this week so we started it off with the rodeo. She had a lof of fun watching the horses ride around and laughing at the funny rodeo clown. They had skydivers and the clown did a motorcylce stunt. Zoe was a little nervous when he turned on the bike but it was fun. By the end Zoe had had enough, it was way past her bed time so she crashed in my arms.

Zoes first haircut!

Today I gave Zoe her first hair cut. I just gave her some bangs and evened the rest out. She did so good sitting still thanks to the suckers we gave her. Bribery always works. She is a little girl now and get such a fun personality.

Zoe likes to comb her own hair. she does a pretty good job. She likes to watch me comb mine and then she takes the comb and does it to herself.

Fun in the sun

Zoe knows whats up! She thinks she is hot stuff with these sunglasses on. She is getting so big and she is definitely not a baby anymore.

Having Fun!

We have had a lot of fun today playing in the laundry basket and in the dishwasher. This is what happens when i try to clean. Zoe has to help but she is mostly in the way and then we just end up playing instead of cleaning. I even put a movie on for her but she doesn't care she wants to help me.

Playing with toilet paper

I caught Zoe playing with the toilet paper today so I had to take pictures of it. She is giving a look like she knows she is busted. I think every child has to have pictures of them playing with the toilet paper. It is so funny!

Visiting Grandparents

Today we went up to Kaysville to visit Randall's grandparents. We haven't seen them since Christmas time so they were very surprised to see how big Zoe has gotten. We ate lunch and just visited while Zoe entertained us with her funny faces and noises. It was fun to get a picture of 4 generations.

Happy fourth of July!

For the fourth this year we went camping up Hobble Creek Canyon in Springville. We went with my parents and my grandparents. It was a lot of fun and very relaxing. We went to the park, played in the river and even went fishing but mostly we just hung out at camp. Zoe did really well and just played in her portable crib a lot and she also loved the river. She really likes water so if she can splash she loves it. I hope everyone had a good of a fourth of July as we did!

Fourth of July pictures

To start off our fourth of July weekend we took Stratton and Zoe to Riverwoods to get some cute pictures but as you can see in the first picture it didn't turn out the way we wanted. Zoe kept kicking Stratton and hitting him so we didn't get any cute ones of the two of them. Zoe is definantely a poser when I get the camera out.
