The 4th - Welcome Home Grandpa and Grandma Wheatley

We headed down on the 2nd of July! We were so excited to see Grandma & Grandpa Wheatley who returned home from their mission to Argentina the day before. 

 We stopped at a park along the way to feed James and it is soooo HOT! We had the place to ourselves.

After the longest car ride EVER! We finally made it to Draper! 

 It was so good to have them home for good! 

The 3rd

We rented a pool in Liz'z neighborhood again. 

 James first time swimming for reals! 

He didn't like it much. 

 Then we had the best sno cones EVER! 

 Oh how I love these two boys. My two favorite James' right there. 

The 4th

Great Grandpa stopped by bright and early to say hi. 

 These two together are the best! 

Then we went on a hike.

I was NOT prepare for how long it was. I barely had enough bottles for James and didn't even bring a back pack to bring them in. 

Stinging nettle anyone? 

 Luckily Vince was willing to wear James because I could NOT! I was too busy whining about how hard the hike was.

 We took a quick break to feed the baby and it started to rain! 

Brook fell and needed carried. Thanks uncle John! 

 The Party

 Taurean's bday is the 4th. Katherine was super hoping that Baby Ruby would come, but she didn't. 

Sunday

Brooke walked into the dining room crying because she said she couldn't eat because her tooth was bugging her. I said, "Let's have daddy pull it out."  NO!!! She said.

So funny as she walked out of the room she turned around said giggling, "Oh, it just fell out!" As she spit it into her hand. 

Daddy went home and we got stay for a whole week! 

Lemonade Stand

My kids have begged for YEARS.  I say no everytime, but on this particular 90 degree day I said yes! 

Just to get them out of the house! 

Jack's best buddy and neighbor Easton helped out. 

The kids ate just as much as they sold.  

They we so dang hot! I was making cookies and lemonade and running it out to them every few minutes. 

 James enjoyed from the inside. 

Solids

A week or two before James turned 4 months old we decided to try some rice cereal to see if it could help him be a little happier. It worked! 

The weekend

Ivy had a little Ice Cream....

 Jack and Brooke were fighting like cats and dogs, so we told them they had to be nice to each other until the fireworks or we wouldn't go. We even handcuffed them together. 

Then it was off to the fireworks in Rigby

We had a great view!

The Jelly Bean

Saturday morning we were driving to Idaho Falls to run errands, when I heard weird screaming from the back seat. 

Ivy was hysterical but I couldn't understand why. Finally I screamed at the kids to find out what was wrong while I tired to find a place to pull over.

"She put a jelly bean up her nose!" Jack said.

"And it's stuck!"

I pulled over and tried to get it out, but no luck. And she was screaming hysterically. 

We drove straight to the Urgent Care and had to wait FOREVER! With all the kids. 

When I asked her why she would put a jelly bean up her nose, she said, "Jack said it would be funny." 

Jack and Brooke had apparently been doing it too. 

It took two of us to get it out! 

But she lived! 

Table Mountain

In the end of June, Jack and Vince hiked Table Rock, and finally made it to the summit. 

They have tried two other times but ran into bad weather and had to turn around. 

It was around 14 miles round trip.
