July 2013 part 3

During the July 24th holiday, our city of Spanish Fork celebrates Fiesta Days! Since we didn't attend any of the festivities in 2012 we decided to check it out in 2013.  Jaina was so tired and fell asleep on the walk from the car to the carnival, which made it a little easier to handle everything because of the heat in the middle of July.

Mara & Xander on a spinning ride. I'm glad that these two enjoy doing things together because there was no way Pat would do that type of ride, and I wasn't able to because of being pregnant.

After the carnival, we went over to get some Shave Ice and enjoyed the fan/mister.

Pat & Mara decided on Blue. 

Xander and I went with Red! 

Jaina wasn't too skilled to have her own so we all shared with her. But because we were all taking pictures of our tongues she had to show hers too. 

Whenever there are holidays or events going on we usually invite Mana. She was so happy to come to the carnival and have some shave ice with us.  We sure LOVE her! 

A snapshot of Jaina while we were at Seven Peaks. She LOVES the waterslides, but only with daddy.

It's so fun to be able to hang with friends!  Here are some pictures of us with the Greer's. 

We planted Zucchini and kept getting HUGE ones!  Mara's was almost too heavy for her to hold!

Can you see the pen for comparison??  

We also planted Strawberries!  But didn't realize that the first season doesn't yield much. But the girls still enjoyed the few we were able to pick.

There was one night when Jaina was so so tired, but wouldn't admit it. So I let her watch Toy Story on our iPod.  She barely got 5 minutes into it before she was OUT.  It made me laugh.

Then dad decided to take advantage of the sleeping child and cuddle with her before putting her to bed. 

At the end of July we went up to the Seven Peaks in Salt Lake with Morri (& family), Lana (& family), & Gwen (& family).  After the swimming, we went to the Tracy Aviary! It was so fun to be there with family.

Xander and the big Condor 

Everyone was amazed at the peacocks and their call!!  It sounded like Kevin from UP! 

Me, trying to get a good selfie with my girl, and dad had to come in an photobomb!! 

Here's a better one. 

Mara, Addi, & Jaina wishing they were birds!

On the very last day of July, Mara lost tooth #8. She is getting to be a pro at this tooth thing!
