June 2012

We got a great deal on a new swing set for the backyard! The one that was left was old, wood and horrible. We got a cheap one in hopes that it will fall apart when the kids out grow it :)
But they LOVE it!
 
Mara's hair was so LONG!
 
We met the Jazz Bear at a local event here in Spanish Fork! 
 
 Summerfest weekend in Orem. It was really windy and cold, so we only stayed for the parade and rides. No fireworks.
 
 
 
I have to catch these sweet moments as often as I can.
Grandpa reading Jaina a book. 
 
Mara in her new swimsuit!! 
 
 
So excited to play outside in a swimsuit! 
 
 
Mara had been begging me for months saying that she wanted her hair cut. I think it was mainly because she HATES getting it brushed and done.  So finally I gave in! 
 
And had Stef come over to do the dirty work 
 
It was long enough that we were able to donate it to Locks-of-Love!! (10 inches)
 
 
 
We went exploring, like we do in the summer, and went to North Park, but we forgot that there was a splash pad there. The kids didn't care that they didn't have their swimsuits. They jumped in anyway! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mara had an accident on her bike and got scraped up pretty bad. She even got a fat lip too :( 
 
Jaina loves to wear anything she can put on her head. 
 
Dad had found a snake at work and decided to bring it home to show the kids.  It got out of the box during his drive home and got lost in his car.  After a lot of searching, it was found and the box was taped shut this time.
 
 
We decided to take it up the canyon to let it go. So we went to Dripping Rock to do it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Oh the joys of summer!

May 2012 Pt 2 - Jaina's 2nd Birthday

My baby turned 2 on May 28th! I can't believe that she's that big! We celebrated on the 27th at Mana's house.
Aunt Karri made her a Winnie the Pooh cake :)
 
She was so sweet while opening her presents. She kept saying 'that's so cute'!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It was also Memorial Day weekend, so we visited my Dad's grave.
 
And my Grandpa's grave.
 
My Grandpa John F Ramey served in the military, so they had a flag with his name on it.  The kids always have fun searching for it. 
 
Then we headed to Grandma & Grandpa Tolman's house for more presents. 
 
She loves her Grandma 
 
And Grandpa
 
 
And Uncle Morri 
 
 
On her actual birthday! New outfit and new toys! 
 
 
She loves to be outside, so we got her a water table to play with in the backyard. 
 
 
 
Happy Birthday Little One!
