Drew is 2+2+2

Last Sunday, was August 2nd which meant a HAppy BirthdaY celebration for Drew.Drew made sure that we knew that Transformers were to be part of the #6 Birthday party....and he ended up with 4 of them by the time he was done opening presents.....so he was very satisfied as they made their appearances.
NOTE OF CAUTION TO PARENTS: Some transformer toys, namely Optimus Prime, should come with a warning: "May take your entire day and every ounce of patience you have to transform from robot to truck.I found this picture of Drew at his 2nd Birthday party....he still has the same cute face and the same happy personality, just a much bigger body.....time really does go by too quickly!! It made my heart hurt to see just how fast he has grown!

WE LOVE YOU DREW!!

Here are just a few of the reasons why we love you so much:

  • cutest face
  • extremely kind-hearted
  • athletic skills to spare
  • very happy kid
  • smooth dance skills
  • gives the greatest hugs
  • wants to be friends and say hello to everyone
  • great buddy
  • great laugh

Summer Catch Up Continued.

4th of July GRAND MARSHALL:

For the 4th of July, we went up to Idaho to spend the holiday with Grandma Moss and Grandpa Poss. We wanted to make sure were were there to see our cool Grandpa/Dad as the Grand Marshall of the 4th of July parade. The kids lined up to see he and Grandma being pulled through the parade route by a horse and carriage.
Grandpa was also introduced that evening at the Rodeo. He and Grandma were pulled in their horse and carriage around the arena to start things off for the night.Next up was the DENVER ADVENTURE:
After our 4th of July celebrations, we headed to Denver with the Dickemore's to spend a few days with Kristin and Jon's families. We spent our first day at Elitches, an amusement and swim park(I didn't take my camera to the swimpark, so I didn't any pics of our day .)

We spent our next day at The Children's Museum, which kept the kids busy for a long time.

They played dress-up,were firemen in uniform on a real firetruck,played with trains,did a little grocery shopping,explored in the forest,worked on their painting talents,and built a few things in their workshops.It was fun to see everyone and and especially fun to play with the cousins. Thanks to the Bahr's for your home and hospitality. Also, Thanks to the Bahrs and Moss's for the Rockies tickets, golf and for showing us around the city. It made for a very fun summer trip!

It's Summer Catch Up Time......and more to come soon!

Catch up begins with SWIMMING LESSONS:Drew had 2 weeks of swimming lessons the last part of June. He had a great teacher who helped him learn a lot in a short time. Drew's favorite part of his lessons was the Rocket. Sommey's favorite part of Drew's swimming lessons was chasing the dogs and petting the cat. Next year, she will start her lessons, but the dog and cat my prove to still be more interesting than the lesson. Next up.......Our trip to KENNECOTT COPPER:
It was my first time visiting and it was impressive to see the size of the trucks and Mine. The trucks didn't seem too big as they drove down the mine path, however, when you saw the size of their tires a little closer it put things into perspective.
After a morning at Kennecott......that night it was off to the LEHI RODEO:

We had a fun time. Sommey stayed semi-interested as she danced in the bleachers and Drew seemed a lot more interested in the actual rodeo events than previous years. My pregnant belly/back was not a huge fan of the bleacher seating, however, when is bleacher seating ever the most comfortable place to be.

More summer catch up blogging to come very soon....

PAGEANT, Birthday PARTY, and a PADRE Celebration!

We had a busy weekend! On Friday night, we headed to Manti to see the Mormon Miracle Pageant. Lo had a friend, that works at Zion's Bank (in Manti), save us some seats and he really came through for us. His wife is in charge of the sound for the pageant, so we had fancy, gated-off seating. We were lucky enough to be there the same night Elder L. Tom Perry was and he was seated right next to us. Very cool! Saturday was my Birthday, so we had a little party. We got home late from the pageant the night before, so we were pretty tired for our Saturday celebration. We decided to go up to Park City and have some pizza, treats and a Trolley ride. Drew took this picture of us on the Trolley. I look like I am 12 months pregnant in this shot. I took this picture of Drew, who is, perhaps, the biggest Trolley/train ride supporter out there. Sunday, we finished our weekend with a fun Father's Day. We had a great day that included Lo and Janyce, who came over to celebrate Dad's day with us.

A few of the reasons why Lo/a.k.a DAD is the GREATEST!:

  • He plays race car games
  • He plays golf with me
  • Gives us rides on the motorcycle
  • The most optimistic person I know
  • Watches fun shows with me
  • Knows how to make you feel important
  • Always ready for a party
  • He snuggles me
  • Daddy loves me very much
  • Mr. Personality

We Love You DAD!

Love, Your Biggest Fans!

Liz, Drew and Sommey Sue.

AIR SHOW

Saturday, we went to the Air Show at Hill Air Force Base. The pilots put on quite the show. We spent the day with Lo's parents, and Mardi and her kids.
I think Sommer's favorite part of the show was the animal crackers and pretzels.
Drew and Lo ended up touring the planes that were parked on the tarmac for a hands-on-tour: both were equally impressed with what they were able to check out and see.
I loved the Biplanes, because they did the coolest tricks.
Lo and I had to leave a early to go to a dinner, so we missed the Thunderbirds. We left our kiddies with Lo's parents, so Drew and Sommey were able to see the Thunderbirds end the show with an impressive finale. The Air show made for a great weekend activity!


I can't take credit for the above pic of the Thunderbirds......found this via the internet.
