It's a girl!

 We are expecting a girl! Baby number 4 is due Dec. 3rd.

Halle is very excited to get a sister!

 Now she can stop using Noah for tea parties and dress up

And Noah can focus on being a messy and crazy boy!

Bunkbeds!

We decided it was finally time to get Noah a real bed so he would stop sleeping on our bedroom floor. I really didn't think he was going to cooperate. We got him Toy Story sheets and a Toy Story comforter because we thought that would make the transition easier. (he is obsessed with Toy Story)

 

I was surprised when I woke up the next day to find him still in bed. It's a miracle!

This is my favorite picture of him. He found the old Valentine's candy in the closet and went to town with it. I think he ate a little too much.

Ute Stampede

We went to Nephi for the Ute Stampede this year.

Before the rodeo we had a Belliston family reunion at my aunt and uncle's property in Nephi Canyon. It is so nice and cool up there. It was fun to meet a lot of people that I didn't know or didn't remember.

Caden's favorite part was the rope swing. He got soaked!

Noah enjoyed a nice nap.

The rodeo was pretty exciting! The best part was the fireworks show at the end. I thought we were all going to catch on fire.

4th of July

For the 4th of July we went to Nephi for the carnival at the park.

We went to the fishing pond a lot. It was always my favorite growing up.

Here are some of the cool things that they reeled in.

Halle and Eva loved to ride the train.

The talent show was pretty happening until it started to rain. I thought it was a nice break from the hot weather.

We ended the evening at the drive-in. We saw Despicable Me 2 and Man of Steel. It started pouring during the last 30 minutes of Man of Steel so we had to huddle in the car and try to figure out what was going on through the soaking wet windows.

Done with First Grade

Caden finished 1st grade on June 28th. His best friend Gabe moved to Ogden so this will be the last year that they will be at the same school. They have been in the same preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade classes. We will miss him!

Mom and Dad's 40th Wedding Anniversary

 My parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.

Aren't they precious?

We had the party at the park by Audrey's house.

My kids loved playing with their cousins!

 

Here are all the cute grand kids.

Eva, Halle, Caden, Colin, Noah

My parents with the awesome cake we had made.

Our family. (I'm surprised everyone is looking at the camera)

Congrats Mom and Dad!

Seven Peaks

 Lucas' parents gave everyone the Pass of all Passes for Christmas so we've tried to take advantage of it and go to Seven Peaks a lot. My kids have really enjoyed it! I like that you don't feel like you have to stay all day long. We go for a couple of hours and then go home.

Caden was brave enough and tried the ropes course.

Noah is obsessed with his plastic pants and refuses to take them off.

We also enjoy swimming at Grandma Eyre's house. It has been a hot summer!!

Halle's Preschool Graduation

Halle graduated from preschool the end of May. Her class got to go miniature golfing to celebrate.

I thought it would take longer for 5 year olds to golf, but they were very speedy. (and I think there was some cheating going on)

 Noah got to tag along too.

Here's Halle's class

Halle, Rhett, Kynlee, Andrew, Titan, David, Ryker, Glade

The graduate!

It was a lot of fun being her teacher!
