A little update!

Ok so I have been extreamly busy lately and haven't put a post on here for a while, but I finally found some time. So this may be a lot of blabbering but just wanted to write a few things about what we have been doing.

Last month we went up to my Mom and Dads condo in Park City and went swimming a lot. My kids are usually a little afraid of the water, and Kaden was a little hesitant at first but then I got him this little star intertube thing and he got inside and didn't get out the whole time! He loved it, he started jumping in the water and trying to take off on his own. It was like he had no fear when he was in his star! Chloe is still pretty scared, she wouldn't even go near the water without screaming. We got her to get in her boat for a few min, but as soon as she got splashed she was done. She also sat in the water with the kids for a cute picture, but that didn't last very long either. It was lots of fun getting away for a couple days to just relax and swim.

For the 4th of July, we went to the Kaysville parade, Kaden had fun, but it was funny because he wouldn't go in the street to get the candy unless Dad or Mom was holding his hand because there were "scarey cars" such a good little boy! Chloe just pretty much sat back in her chair and enjoyed the candy Kaden would bring her. That night we went to Layton park and played games and watched the fireworks.

Also my sister Chelsi found out that she is having a boy!! They are so excited! She is due December 15th. I can't wait, she is going to make an excellent mom, she is already a great Aunt to my kids. It will be fun to have a new baby around to squeeze. My kids are getting so big so fast I can hardly believe it. The other day we were up at Mueller Park roasting hot dogs and Kaden just wanted to roam off on his own and do everything that Derek did. He followed him into the trees to gather wood for the fire and he wanted to roast his own hotdog, and even offered to go down to the stream to get the watermelon for Grandma to cut! His new favorite phrase is "I do it myself!" and there is no use trying to help him or it will take twice as long because he will have to go back and do it again himself :)

We went to see the fireworks the other night for the 24th, I love fireworks, they are just amazing to me, my kids also love them and just stare at them in amazement. Chloe was funny she kept calling them bubbles, and Kaden would just clap and laugh with his cousins and yell out the colors of the fireworks, it was so fun to watch.

Also, my brother and sister in law had their baby boy! I am a little behind cause he was born last month but I wanted to put his cute picture up. They named him Brennan Guy Christiansen, can't wait to meet him!
