First Pool Day of the Summer!

This was the first pool day of the summer for us.  I didn't have to work and it was a hot sunny day, so outside we went!  Aiden is a serious water bug.  Cold, hot, it doesn't matter as long as he is wet.  He splashes around and laughs the whole time.  Austin on the other hand does not see much value in sitting in a cold pool by himself...I guess Aiden and I aren't exciting enough for him.  As soon as the neighbor kids discovered us though, he came out of his shell and got a little wet. 

HAFB Air Show

We have been looking forward to going to the air show ever since the last one in 2010.  Due to budget cuts, last year's was cancelled so people were pretty excited about this one.  We switched Grandma Jan Aiden for Spencer...fair trade, right?  I don't know about all these crazy people who bring their newborn babies to things like this...it was kind of cold and rainy and very loud...just stay home if you don't have another option.  Anyhoo, after we parked about a mile away (and we got there early) we walked around to see some of the exhibits, talked to a couple of pilots - including one that probably flew Uncle Jordan to Antarctica - and watched some trick planes.  Then it started to pour...and pour!  Everyone was drenched within a matter of minutes and we took shelter with about 1000 other people in an F-22 hanger for about an hour until the storm let up.  We decided to stay and see the thunderbirds - which were kind of the main reason for going to the air show...and after about 8 hours of waiting for the best part...here is how Austin spent it:

Asleep, with his hands over his ears.  :S

The Mormon Mall

I had a Friday off, so we decided to tag along with Gma and Gpa to the new City Creek mall in SLC.  It is beautiful and super fancy...retractable roof, fountains, Tiffany's...I bought too many cute clothes so I can't go back for awhile.  We went to Nordstrom's cafe which is always fabulous.  It is a little more eclectic and expensive than the one at fashion place and they didn't have the famous raspberry bread pudding there.  I guess there will still be a need for Fashion Place trips then.  But the boys were really good and it was fun hanging out with the Daines clan for the day. 

Grandpa Brad's Bday

We came up to Grandma and Grandpa Seamons' for a dutch oven feast for Grandpa Brad's birthday and Aiden thoroughly enjoyed the paper products.  Gma Trudy wanted Grandpa Brad to not lift a finger for his bday so Cam was in charge of the potatoes and chicken and Gma got the birthday cake. 

Uncle Benster's Bday

Today was a busy day for us.  First we had London's blessing, then Spencer turned the big 2-0!  He ordered himself a cake complete with a picture of that cheesy show Hawaii 5-0.  Whatever, the cake was delicious!  Also, Grandma Jan brought the boys back a couple souvenirs from her trip to NYC.

Sunday at the Park

London was blessed today and Kim and Jer had a lovely dinner at a park near their house after the blessing.  The weather was a little chilly at first but soon warmed up and turned into a beautiful day.  The boys loved swinging on the swings - we had not quite finished our swing set yet so these were a new thing for them. 

Race cars at Lowe's

One of Austin's favorite places to go is Lowe's with his dad.  They buy all kinds of stuff there and he usually gets to ride in the race car when he goes.  This particular time was Aiden's first ride in the race car and he LOVED it.  At first he didn't know what to make of it, but as soon as he saw brother freaking out, he thought it was awesome.  I believe we were here to buy swing set parts.
