This summer is just flying by so fast!  I really wish I could slow it down. The kids have been loving the new trampoline and spend endless hours jumping.

We spent a fun afternoon at Monica's house working the the 4th of July centerpieces for the Hawkins BBQ and party. Monica is too crafty and creative, she's the best! They turned out cute and the kids had fun making them!

We did fireworks with friends and neighbors the night before the 4th. Lizzie loved the fireworks, she wasn't scared at all.

Lizzie and her friends Hazel had a fun playdate one day. They swam, jumped on the tramp and had a tea party. They are hilarious together.

Swimsuits daily and endless popsicles are the theme for Lizzie's summer!

We went to a benefit night for Brian Connolly one night. Natalie and Richie were there too. It was a fun night full of good food, great music and lots of people!

Lizzie has been saying some funny things lately!
One day I was changing her diaper, she's still not potty trained! She looks at me and says "Thanks for being so brave mom, you're really brave for changing my stinky poopy diaper!"
I laughed out loud!
Also we were talking about her friends and naming a few of them I said how about Heath, he's nice.
She replied "I don't know about Heath, he's too short!"
She's a funny girl!

Friday was the 4th of July! It wasa  busy, fun, successful day.
We started the day by sleeping in until 8:30. We went to our neighborhood bike parade and breakfast. After we headed Springville to spend the day with Goofy Grandma and Grandpa.
We had a BBQ, did the slip n slide, had a water fight and watched a movie. It was a great day.
That evening we went to the Hawkins Party in Provo.
Here's the pictures from the day.

The party was awesome! We had dinner, treats, a raffle for a homemade quilt, snow cones, visiting with cousins and other family members, and lots and lots of fireworks. We got home around 11:30.  We were happy, and tired!
July is the best!
