September...

Mom says September is her favorite month 

because it is still sunny and warm...

but not as hot as August.

We did lots of fun things this month...

We blew bubbles

We went on walks to throw rocks in the river.

We ate popsicles

(and by the looks of our clothes...

we may have done all these things in one day)

We went to the park

and Cooper played with playdough for the first time.

(but not the last because he gets it out all the time now)

Mom let us bring the trains upstairs...

so we played with them lots and lots

Cooper and mom went and picked raspberries while I was at school.

Mom has canned A LOT of things this month.

I got to spray my hair blue and red for crazy hair day.

and bike to school another day.

Cooper and mom went and fed the ducks.

And we all went up the mountain with the Baileys.

 It was a really fun month.

I'm still liking school and I am finally getting used to the long days.

I also started a golf class after school once a week.

But the best thing that happened this month...

I pulled out my top tooth...all by myself!

(September 28th)

That's tooth #3...

and mom and dad gave me the rest of the dollars 

I needed to buy my last ninja turtle...Raph.

I am super excited for October and for Halloween...

I already have my costume all picked out!

June Fun

We have been very busy since school ended.

First we took swimming lessons.

Even Cooper and Mom had a lesson together.

I can float all by myself and swim on my back.

I also swim on my front but I can't go very far quite yet.

But mom says she's really proud of how brave I have become...

I don't even mind putting my face in the water anymore.

We got to go see the movie Epic.

I really liked it...Cooper liked the popcorn.

And I started playing baseball.

I LOVE playing baseball.

Mom is really happy about that!

We have taken Cooper to some new parks to play.

And we went on a hike.

Mom has decided that we need to spend more time in the mountains.

She picked our first hike to Lake Mary.

It was really steep...

and really long...

Mom had to carry Cooper in her arms for most of it.

When we got half way to Lake Mary mom decided we should just stop and go see Dog Lake, 

which was only a little bit farther...then we headed back.

We had lots of fun, but mom said that she needs to pick easier hikes the next time.

It's been really hot this June, so we have started to hit the pool.

...and suffer the heat for the carnival...

and then go to the pool some more!

Oh....and I got a fish!

His name is Betto (Bait-O).

I really like him...so does Cooper...that might be a problem!

It's been a pretty fun summer so far...Next up....

JULY!

Warm weather finally came to Utah!

Seattle...week 2

We have been in Seattle for 2 weeks...

and I'm still having so much fun!

Last Saturday we spent the day with Grandpa Jones and Grandma Mim.

We hung out on Grandpa's boat while he got it ready for Banks.

I pretended like we were driving to Seattle...

and we played on the trampoline.

Cooper was smiling till I started to jump...then he didn't smile so much any more.

On Monday, we went to see Ice Age 4...I LOVED it!

and then we had "conveyor belt sushi" for lunch.

I eat the orange chicken...

I get it off the conveyor belt all by myself and I think it is the coolest!

On Tuesday we went to the park.

I think mom and her sister's had as much fun as me and Cameron.

The digger is my favorite toy at the park.

Cooper went on his first swing ride all by himself...

and boy did he love it!

And then it was Wednesday and Mom had a birthday!

Mandy brought her a Happy Birthday Breakfast Muffin!

Mom turned 35...she says she is not getting any older!

For mom's birthday she wanted to go to a place she used to go when she was growing up.

Green Lake

Mom's grandma and grandpa used to live really close to Green lake and mom would walk down with her uncle and brothers and sisters and swim in the little kiddie pool.

I really like this place too!

And for mom's birthday dinner, she left me and Cameron with a babysitter so just the adults could go eat sushi...I was a little sad, but I told mom it was ok!

On Thursday, we finally got to head out to our first camping trip.

We drove for a little long way to Banks Lake.

We floated...

and fished...

and played on the beach...

and we used these things to do one of mom's favorite thing...

We skied...

and I can say "we" because I did the skim board...

and it was SO AWESOME!!!

I also rode on a jet ski, jumped off the boat, jumped off a big floatie island and swam with just my vest in the deep water and wasn't even scared!

But my favorite thing about our camping trip...sleeping in a tent!

It was another busy and fun week!

One more to go...and one more camping trip too!
