the happenings... july :)



Thought I would post some pics from the last couple of months.
Mmm.... shopping cart.

We've been talking about heroes this summer, including fire fighters!!
My friend Abrea recently started a home daycare, and on her son's birthday the fire department came to her house to teach the kids about fire safety. We were ecstatic when they pulled up in their fire truck!


The fire marshal hooked up the hoses and let the kids spray water all over the yard!!
Joshua and Fitzgerald - best buddies!
And Claire... the princess firefighter :)

Wyatt wore this hat for about 5 seconds... a little blurry, but this is the only pic I could get!

With the addition of our sweet little Wyatt, our house is getting...well, a little crowded.
Josh had to move into a cardboard box in the back yard.

Just kidding! It's not that bad... well, it's pretty tight!
We have a very small house, but we love it!
So, we decided to do as they do in Japan and build up!


The kids got bunkbeds!!!
We moved them into the guest room, and Wyatt is now in the crib in the nursery.
Claire gets the bottom bunk, and Joshua the top. We decided on a twin over full, so that when we have guests over, we will still have a guest room with a full bed for our guests to sleep on. The kids will just temporarily relocate. We're also hoping that if anyone falls off of the top bunk they will land on the bottom! So far Claire stays on the bottom unless mom or dad are there with her, so we haven't had any problems... yet!

I'm working on decorating the room. I'll post more pics when it's done :)
A sweet couple in our ward just got married and baptized, and the entire ward pitched in to help throw a beautiful wedding for them. I helped out with the flower arrangements...

and decorated the getaway car!!!




Jason spray painted the pop cans white for me :)
He is a great husband!

This is the front of the car.
Turned out pretty cute :)


And here is a picture Josh took with my phone... I was in the other room and heard Josh laughing. I went in to see what he was laughing at and found Wyatt standing up in his chair!! EEK! He is getting pretty daring!
He likes to climb into his rocking chair.... usually standing!

Here's a pic of Joshua at about 2 months old in this same rocking chair:

Sorry if these pics are not up to standard... they were all taken with our phones, aside from that last one of Joshua.

Have a great night everyone!

I cannot believe how BIG Wyatt is. He is sooooo CUTE, and no longer a newborn.
I love the bunkbeds. The brown is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!
The room looks HUGE!!!!!
THe cardboard box is the way to go in the summer. Maybe when he is a teenager and when he comes home late you can have the cardboard box waiting for him. J/J
