It has been such a fun, busy summer so far and although it is getting "hotter than hot cocoa" (according to Alli today) we are enjoying the heat for the most part! Alli was writing a story-I think it is something about losing her tooth.
Ilene is a fantastic laundry helper!
Alli was pretty excited about her hair-do (and I was pretty thrilled it actually turned out since I am hair challenged!).
Cute girls with their faces painted while the daddies played basketball.
And their cool balloon animals.
Just a funny pic of my "dense, sturdy, solid" little chunky man.
And Ilene wanted to follow him. Alli was gone to a dance class or she would have too :).
Funny dude with his new hat. He seriously loves hats. He will point to the hat rack first thing in the morning wanting a hat or multiple hats to play with. Contrary to how it looks, he loves wearing them and playing with them!
Sweet girls playing upstairs with some of the bagillion stuffed animals we have. Alli had names for all of them and could tell me all sorts of things about them.
Cam also loves sunglasses! He loves to wear them, play with them and see other people wearing them!
Cute little girl playing with Cam Man's train (well first it was Alli's, then Ilene's....)
It has been so hot we have had a lot of fun playing in the sprinkler and the little pool.
Alli is quite the big helper and was "teaching" Ilene how to ride her bike.
Again-water. This was at our neighbors' house, they jumped on the tramp with the sprinkler under it.
Dude this kid can throw! He chucks stuff hard and surprisingly far with either hand. Wonder if he will always have a good arm?
Two weeks ago Brandmakers did their "work retreat"which I think is the attempt at making up for all of the out of town trips...It was a lot of fun. Last year it was in Park City-and we were a complete joke with Ryan still on crutches from his surgery and me about 2 weeks from having Cam. This year it was in Salt Lake and we would have loved to stay up, but it just didn't seem like the best option for the kids with our trip to Chicago a month before and another mini trip a month after so we went up for dinner (after a few switches because of a lack of tv and then not allowing babies we ended up at Z Tejas) and watching game 7 of the NBA finals Thursday and then came back home to sleep and then drove up for the day Friday. During the game the wives did a bit of shopping in Gateway and then we all headed to Fleming's for some dessert. Funny thing was as we were walking over to Fleming's after the game I got a little shout out from a random guy who apparently thought I was cute and wanted me to give him a chance. It was pretty hilarious and still makes me laugh to think about it. Ryan did tell me that my legs looked great in my pants ;). Our first activity for Friday was a "human flight". There was a big vertical wind tunnel and after a short lesson on what to do we each took a turn in there. You would just lean in through the doorway and it would carry you and the instructor would fix your body position so you would stay afloat.

| So this is me "flying". We have a great video of Ryan, but I couldn't find a picture and it is too long to post :(. |
After everyone went through once then we each had another turn and this time about halfway through he would hold on to you so with the increased body resistance you would go flying much higher!! It was so fun! At the end of my first turn he grab onto me and spun me around which was super cool. He had Ryan try walking in the tunnel and it was pretty hilarious because since he was standing straight there was so much pressure all around him and it made it almost impossible to walk!

| Here we are with our certificates after our "flight". |
We got some lunch at Iggy's and headed back for the flowrider. I got zero pictures of that, but we had a lot of fun. The boys pretty well stayed on once side and the girls on the other. The boys' side quickly became crazy trying to do weird tricks and the girls' side was all about doing it without getting hurt and keeping everything covered (your swimsuit on) while you wiped out :). We had bought a groupon so we also did some rock climbing and again the guys started doing some little competitions. The two they did rock climbing after the normal "race to the top" were racing to the top of the bouldering section and standing, and then how high can you climb without using your legs on the regular rock walls. They got surprisingly high with just their arms! Then we did some arcade games and headed back to the hotel to hang out for a bit before dinner. Then we ate dinner at Texas de Brazil. Most everyone headed to a movie-World War Z after, but we opted out and luckily a few others opted out with us. We hung out with Jordan and Whitney, did some shopping at City Creek, got our "first dessert" of frozen yogurt and then found out the movie goers were done and were meeting up at Applebees in the Gateway for dessert. So we joined them and had our second dessert :). After that Ryan and I headed home and this little display is what Alli had left for us :). Such a little sweetie!!
