Our fun Summer so far

One Saturday we ventured out to the Zoo with a picnic lunch. Sam's favorite part is feeding the ducks.

We went to some friends house for a BBQ and some swimming...another one of Sam's FAVORITE things to do. (And mine too with all this heat we are getting!)

Father's Day has obviously come and gone. But Sam and I made Gary breakfast in bed...Sam jumped up on the bed and started eating Gary's breakfast. Not sure if he got the memo that it was DAD'S day. But Gary liked the company.

A cute thing Sam loves to do is climb up on our bed and just lay there all cute like this. He thinks he is so cute and funny laying in my spot when I walk into the room and its probably true. :)

He also likes to help himself to whatever crackers he can find. On this particular day, he decided to get three different boxes out of the pantry and have himself a feast on the couch. (Note the nice artistic work on the all just above the couch. Yeah, he did that too)

Early July took us up to Utah for a very quick trip. This is Sam's cousin Mckinley sharing a stroller.

Gary and I love to run the Freedom Run every year. So, we did. This time I pushed Sam in the stroller and of course was pregnant...I'm sure people thought I looked a little crazy. I probably did. Sam loved it though, there were so many people to watch the whole way!

Wish I could get this comfortable during a long drive in the car!

The next week, Sam and I flew back up to Utah. This time for a much longer drive...to CANADA! I don't have too many pictures but we had a blast...way too short of a trip, but still worth the long drive.

We went to the Calgary Stampede, of course! Sam was in heaven with all the animals he got to pet. You should hear his animal sounds now!

And of course we had to do a couple rides while we were there.

We left the stampede grounds to go get lunch and to drop Sam off with some family so we could enjoy the chuckwagon races that night.

The show was fabulous...


The next day we made the drive to Banff. Another must see place. So pretty and fun to visit.

I am just sick that I didn't take any pictures with any family. Isn't that lame? I guess I'll just have to make another trip soon! While we were there, my cousin took some cute pictures of Sam. I should get some and post them so you can see the cute pics...and how good my cousin is!


The night we got home, the family got together and did fireworks, here are all the girls watching the boys play with fire.
