My little guy is 5!

WARNING: Picture overload! (sorry, my kids are just too cute! :)

This month we celebrated Dallin's 5th Birthday. I can't believe he's already 5. My kids are growing up so fast, I can't believe it! I had told Dallin that he could have a friend party this year, but as the time got closer and the weather got hotter and hotter, and I got more and more pregnant, I decided that having a party chasing around a bunch of 5 year olds was not something I was wanting to deal with at 9 months pregnant. What we opted to do instead, was I let Dallin have a few friends over to play in the water outside, (we set up the pool under the swing-set slide, and the slip-n-slide (which ended up getting busted)), and I let him invite a few of his little friends over to play for a couple of hours. It was HOT outside, but the kids had fun. I forgot to get pictures of this, but later on, we had a party with the family like we have every year. I think Dallin enjoyed this even more anyway. It was super hot outside though so we were roasting, but it did finally start to cool off a bit in time for us to have cake and ice cream.

Dallin was spoiled by everyone with lots of presents!

 Little Hailee enjoying the attention she was getting too just for being so darn cute! haha

 Dallin is really in to Superheroes right now, (along with Cars, and everything else under the sun) but here he's opening his cute Batman costume.

 Another thing that Dallin really loves right now is Angry Birds. He picked out this Angry Birds Cake (of course we got him an Angry Bird game too!)

 Here are some more random pictures of what we've done to finish out the month of July:
Dallin as a Superhero! (gotta love the snowboots in July! haha)

 Hailee playing outside too with her little milk mustache.

  I LOVE the faces she pulls!

 One last picture before I took off Dallin's splint on his arm. Hopefully we can keep him from breaking something else for a LONG time!

The kids playing with blocks. The poor things have to keep themselves entertained a lot (its good for them) cuz their poor huge prego Mommy isn't up for doing a lot of sitting on the ground or going outside in the heat. They are really good at using their imaginations

 Hailee definitely has an artsy mind. She's always organizing everything into colors.

 Cute little Superhero Brother and Sister!

 We moved a lot of Hailee's stuff around in her room to get ready for the new baby. In the process we tok all of the drawers out of her dresser so we could move it. She decided she wanted to try everything on that was in her drawer. (jewelry, headband, and goggles) So funny! That girl loves to dress up! As a matter of fact, as I'm typing right now, she has on her snow hat and gloves and slippers. Its only 85 degrees outside! haha!

 Another cute little picture of Hailee

 My Mom planned a family get-together this month with my siblings and their families at Rexburg Rapids. Its a cute little water-park perfect for kids. Dallin had a blast! I couldn't keep him out of the water. Hailee was really excited to go, but she's a little timid when it comes to a lot of people in a new place. She wasn't quite as excited about it when we went to get in the water. Too many people! As the day went on, she was less scared, but honestly, she was more insterested in eating all of the goodies that we had. Surprisingly I did find a swimming suit that I could fit in. I probably looked like a whale, but it felt so good to float in the lazy river on a hot day for my aching back!

 Messy face

 I tried to get a picture of Dallin, but I couldn't get him out of the water long enough (and I didn't want to bring my camera close to the water) But here's a picture- I know he's in there somewhere with Kyle and his cousin Elsie!

Dallin was WORN OUT when we were driving home. I did get a post-swimming picture of him sleeping in the car in his cute little goggles that Nana got for all of the grandkids.

I already posted some T-Ball pictures on the last post, but here are just a few more of his last game that he had. He's getting pretty good!

 It probably helps that Kyle got him a cute little T-ball set to practice with at home!

 The kids playing in Grandpa and Grandma Wright's side by side. We have fun driving it when we go to their house. Although the only time I can get Hailee to go in it is when its turned off! haha

 Something really awesome that Kyle did this month was finish our countertops! We had known for awhile that he was going to redo them, we even had the Formica bought and sitting in the garage for the past 7 months. But we were waiting for Kyle to finish his semester of school so he would have time. Last Friday he came home from work and told me he was doing it that day! He did an awesome job! I'm very lucky to have such a talented husband!

 Here is a picture that someone posted on Facebook of my Dad's Kindergarten class. I've never seen this picture before, and I think its cool to pick my Dad out of the crowd (short little guy in dark on the back row) I can pick out some of my Dad's classmates too, from people that I grew up with in Ririe.
