I Can Fix It!

Today I was taking dishes out of the dishwasher and two wheels of the bottom dishwasher basket came off!  Camden was playing near when I said, "Uh-Oh, these wheels broke off!" Camden replied, "Oh! I am a good dishwasher fixer!  I can fix it!"  (And he did!)  A while later, Blake was helping me mop and the base of his toy mop came off from the stick.  I asked him, "did it break?"  He answered, "No, this is not broken, 'cuz' I can fix this!"  (And he did too!)  Will fixes EVERYTHING at our house.  If there is ever anything broken, he'll fix it.  Our vacuum was an old one at my parents house that had been broken....he fixed it.  The cord recently got ran over by our car and the wires were showing....he fixed it.  That's just one example.  I always tell the boys Daddy can fix anything!  So we wait for Daddy to come home and taa daa it's fixed.  Well, today it has proven to be an awesome teaching tool.  Now the boys can fix everything too!  Thanks Will!  You're AMAZING!!!!

P.S. We just got a new computer through e-bay (no instructions).  I haven't figured out what file our pictures are in so I have no pictures to share.  I'll wait for Will to get back home tonight and taa daa he'll figure it out in a minute!!!  I LOVE HIM!!!

4th of July

Fourth of July started with a pancake breakfast with our ward at the park. They had a parade, a cake walk, three legged races, and face painting. We had a fun time. We missed Will though, he had to work.

Next we went to the lake with Lisa and her family, Shelby and her family, and my parents. Thanks Lisa and Brad! We had a great time! (Although my kids are terrified of Bradley's reckless driving....almost everyone ended up whipped around into the lake!) Thanks for being kind to Camden with his turn, Brad!!!!

Finally, we celebrated with fireworks on our street with our neighbors. We played basketball, wiffle ball, Wack-A-Mole, Hungry Hungry Hippo, and flashlight tag. Notice the barefooted kids and sparklers...not a great idea!!!(Blake's sparkler dropped a sparkle on his toe!!!!)

Happy Birthday Lilly!

Happy Birthday Little Lilly!!

Today is our niece Lilly's 1st birthday!! We celebrated her birthday last month (I can't believe it has been a month now!) as Beth and Jay were on their way moving to Utah. It was amazing to see her moving around everywhere and eating everything-especially watermellon, which she loved! She is growing up so fast! She is such a cutie! It was fun having a pink dressed baby around the house. We can't wait to visit them in August!

Happy Birthday cute Lilly! We love you!
