Week 4 - Pleasant Grove

We got the pool out again but this time put it under the slide at the fort. The boys put the hose down the slide and they would fly down the slide into the pool then jump on the tramp.

Braden liked to just play in the pool or sit at the top in the fort and play with the hose.

On Wednesday we met my friends Tiffany and Brooke and their kiddles at the Highland City Splash Park. We had such a good time playing in the sunshine and even a little rain. It is so fun to get together and to enjoy each other and our kids. We brought a picnic too. It was a really fun day.

Friday night we decided to throw a surprise birthday party for Auntie.  She was in China on her birthday and didn't feel celebrated by her family, so we celebrated her.  I blindfolded her when she got home from work and took her downstairs where Cami and the kids had decorated and showed surprise.  She opened presents and blew out candles on cupcakes. 

Braden liked to rearrange the candles once they were blown out

Then grandpa made homemade frozen yogurt, and Tanner was so excited when it was ready!

Saturday we went to the ward party at PG pool.  It was so much fun.  There wasn't very many of us there so we went up and down the slide a hundred times.  Everyone loved it.

Then Grandpa and Auntie jumped off the diving board.  Manda and I did it later, but there are no pics.

And, we just floated around having a nice time.

This whole week we had Avery here with us.  Uncle J and Aunt Dawn and Madolyn went on a cruise with Dawn's family, and Avery wasn't invited.  By the end of Monday night I had pretty much decided that I would not be having any more children, as 4 would do me in.  But by the end of the week we had figured out how to get along with each other, and it all ended up being okay. 

Brady just loves Avery and wants to love her and step on her and pat her on the head, and she of course, wants NOTHING to do with him.  Colty and Tanner loved her so much and kept saying, "Oh, we wish we had a baby sister." 

Amanda and Cami also decided that I am old fashioned and out of style (basically ugly) so they convinced me to cut my hair in a stylish way (see above), and I went shopping with Mom to get some new clothes. 

Tonight when Uncle J and Aunt Dawn got back they stopped here for dinner. This is a picture of the cute Peterson cousins.
