4th of July

For the 4th we went to Park City with Jimmy's family. Staley's favorite parts of the trip were going down the Alpine Slide and jumping on the trampoline doing backflips. He kept doing those over and over again. Jimmy and I went on the roller coaster which is so much fun! I was laughing hysterically the entire time. Mostley from fear. Jimmy didn't hit the brakes once. Staley also wanted to " Climb the Mountain". He had a harder time with this, but loved cruising down the Alpine Slide with Jimmy as fast as he could and doing backflips over and over again on the trampoline.

On the night of the fireworks we thought we were so smart to go and watch them from the pool at our hotel, since that is where they shoot them off from, but after waiting for half an hour, freezing our butts off, we heard them, but could not see them, so we moved to another location, still freezing, until Jim called us and told us we had a perfect view from our rooms. So we packed everyone up and ran up to our room and were able to watch a lot of it, so it ended up being fun!

The Parade was interesting, a little more laid back then American Forks parade. The hockey players were hilarious. They were walking down the street until someone yelled something and then they all ran to each other and pretended to fight. Very clever!




































Staley's 2nd Birthday Party

On Staley's real birthday, we celebrated at the house with family and gave him his 'big' present. He had been working on us for a few weeks begging for a Wii, so we broke down and got him one. He freaked out when he opened it! He hugged it and wanted to play MarioKart immediately. Here are some cute pics of him playing with Uncle Connor. Aunt Rachel made him the cupcakes, which was very sweet and made his day, since cupcakes are Staley's favorite treat. Staley had swim lessons during the day that his Nana took him to, and then we took him and Noah to McDonalds to play during the day. Then we had his Toy Story party at the house. I sure love my bug, and I'm glad he had a good day.
