A long time coming

Story of my life, I'm behind on blogging...again. Lets get started, a couple of weeks ago our Home Teacher (who is a fire fighter) invited us over to the fire house for a tour. David loved every second of it. He sat in just about every fire truck/ambulance and got to go on a ride.

He also got to spray the huge hose. Our HT kept saying he had never seen a kid so excited and keep his attention the whole time. Needless to say, he is going to be a firefighter for Halloween.

Marks  mom came for a visit, somehow I rarely had my computer with us. We went to the East Idaho State Fair. It was a lot of fun. David loved all the animals. We got to see the Indian Horse Races (which are slightly ridiculous).

Mark has started school! Woohoo! Here's to hoping things go smoothly and a job opportunity will come about soon.

And for those you anxiously awaiting a pregnant picture, here it is! I am 33 weeks, having contractions, baby girl has dropped. Hopefully she will come early, but not scary early.

For FHE last night, we went with a couple other families in the ward and enjoyed a hayride and bonfire after. David hasn't stopped talking about it.

Mini Carnival

At the beginning of July Super Savers (a newish "discount" grocery store) hosted a little carnival. They had fishing:

A boyscout group was doing a fundraiser and selling hot dogs, drinks and soda. David loved relaxing in the little camp chair eating his food. 

We also discovered Davids love for twinkies. I could not unwrap it fast enough!

There was also this little baby pool just sitting there. David loves water, so by default we went home later with home completely soaked...but happy.

They had a rock wall. He wanted to try it, so I thought why not? Well, we got him all harnessed up and then he was so interested. 

I'm on Marks computer and cant get the font to turn black and not be underlined and the battery is about to die, so more to come later :-)

Lots of pictures

We have been enjoying our nice summer weather and waiting to hear back on possible jobs. Here are some pictures of the fun we have been having.

What is summer without ice cream? We tried this new place, it was good, okay price wise, but small (think if there are more than 6 people inside, you are cramped). 

David has loved water since he was itty bitty. We have gone to the splash park many a times and blown up the pool for neighborhood pool parties (thats a whole other post). 

He gets a nice warm bath after the pool and is just happy to be in more water for longer. 

Yesterday, we took him on the carousel for the first time. He loved riding the horsies. 

Before we even know this baby was a girl, Carseat Canopy was having a huge sale. I could not resist this absolutely fun and girly cover...plus it was only $12! Anyways, we have lazy moments and David likes to use it as a blanket. 

A few weeks ago, Janell and I took the kids to the laundromat with us to wash our comforters. Here are David and Emma coloring.

David has figured out if he climbs on the little chair in his room, he can reach the light switch. He loves to "turn light off"

There is a place here in town called The Craze. They have a really fun toddler room-tunnels, blocks and trains, and a moon bounce. Mark likes to take David there and win things for him. So far, their favorite has been their mustaches. This picture just cracks me up!

We play with chalk and outside as much as possible. Today, we left a piece of chalk in the street and someone ran over it (it very well may have been me. Haha.) Anyways, David decided to "paint" his cute face with it.

Hope everyone is having a great week! There is more to blog, I just gotta find the motivation to do it :-)

Back blogging

I know, I know it has been way too long since I last posted. So get ready for blog overload!

Back at the end of April we went to Bear World with some of our favorite people-the (Jake & Janell) Hargrave clan! It was a lot of fun, the kids loved all the animals.

 The petting zoo was hit!  

Probably Davids favorite part of it all, is the train! (Side story: David loved the car ride. When we went back with my mom, he cried and ended up having to end the ride early. The key to success is Emma!)

Next up, in May we went to the Idaho Falls zoo for a friends birthday. It was unlike any zoo Mark and I have ever gone to. We are use to the St. Louis and National Zoos-huge, lots of different houses, etc. None the less, it was fun!

Next, David turned 2! I'm not quite sure how that happened actually. We had a small family celebration on his actual birthday. My mom was able to come out and help us celebrate as well!

The next day, we had a big party with some of our friends. We had cake at the park-genius! Thanks to all our friends that came and helped us celebrate our little man!

 Next up in June, we went to the air show...for an hour. David was more interested in running around and looking at all the planes and cars. In his defense, there was way too much between the cars/planes.

We were able to watch the Hargrave girls so Jake & Janell could celebrate their anniversary kidless! These girls are so funny and there is never a dull moment when they are around.

Alright, that catches us up. I'll get the 4th of July pictures and do that...soonish.
