Time of Your life

A couple of weeks ago we decided it would be fun to take the kids to the zoo.(The extra kid you see is my nephew) Carson has been wanting to go and see the monkey's. He also really wanted to see the snakes. But after seeing them he said that he thinks snakes are freaky. We had a fun time and we will be going more because we bought a year pass. Looking at the monkeys

Madison turned nine years old on the 5th of July. So we got to have two fun days in a row. She knew just what she wanted to do for her cake. So Jared worked his magic and made it just the way she wanted it. She was really excited. I just wanted to say that Madison is such a cute girl. We love her so much she makes us laugh and is such a good student in school. She is kind to everyone. The word that most people use when they talk to me about Madison is sweetheart. That is what she is. She is still our little chatter box but we love that about her too. Happy birthday Madison. We love you! Grandma Shauna gives the girls a Precious Moments statue every year. Grandma Meldrum was busy making Madison a sleeping bag and some shoes for her American Girl doll. They turned out so cute. And of course she had to surprise London and give her one too. Lucky girls. Every year we save our home fireworks for Madison's birthday.

We had a great 4th of July! Waiting for the parade to start Morgan showing off the necklace she got. (Thanks Toco Time) Morgan and Carson asleep after the fun. Carson is in the basket of the stroller. A closer look of Carson. Every year we have a water fight at my brother and siter in laws house. Good Times!

Preston is doing something new this summer He decided that he wanted to join a swim team. He loves it and he is doing really well. He had his first swim meet yesterday. He did a good job placing 9th out of 13 on the 100 meter free style swim.And he also did a 50 meter free style race. He really did well for his first meet and he loved competing. We had fun watching. Can't wait for the next one. This is a video of the 50 meter race. And one more picture of Morgan after the meet. I just set her down on the chair to pick up a few things and she went right to sleep. She was worn out!

Carson is at the cutest age.I was out mowing the lawn and he wanted to get up on a tree stump that we have in the yard. So I put him on it and he started to sing. It was so cute I had to run in and get my camera. Isn't he a cutie pie?

Thought this was tooooooo cute. Carson watched me give Morgan a bath in the sink so of course he wanted to take a bath in the sink too. He is to big for it but had a good time. I thought it was so cute I took a pic enjoy!

Jared's brother Matt got married last Tuesday. It was a really nice wedding and a fun time for our family. The kids loved getting dressed up for the big event and they had such a fun time spending time with there cousins. They had a dinner the night before with a pinata. The kids loved that. Except London she wouldn't even try to hit the pinata. But she got a new pair of flip flops so she was happy.
