Fun at the park

Since the mornings have been a little cooler to get outside and play, we decided to go to the park and play before Julia went to school. I would always take Julia to the park and play when she was little and now that I can stand to be outside I get to take Christian now too! They both love it. The swings are the most fun and Julia can even do it all by herself with a little starter push. Christian loved the twirly slide and would go down all by himself. We all tried to go down the covered twirly slide and that didn't end up to well. Christian got stuck and then faced planted and got a bloody nose. But after we cleaned him up he was fine and we went back for more!

They both love to climb

  

Christian came down a little to fast and lost his balance

.But that didn't stop him, he just went down a little slower after that.

 He loves to go up and down the stairs!

A little fun on the swings!

A fun way to do curls

My mom would do this for our hair when we were little and it was always so cute. Since Julia doesn't like to stand still for me while I curl her hair with the curling iron I thought I would give them a try. I saw a bunch of rollers at the dollar store and said we have to get some. So we tried it out on Julia's hair for school and it was so pretty and she loved it!

 Her hair all rolled up, ready for bed.

 The next day and ready for school.

A happy girl with her pretty curls!

Julia's 1st BYU Game

Today we got invited to go with Layne's cousins to the 1st home BYU football game, BYU vs. Weber State. We thought it would be fun to bring all the kids and just have a good time. We kinda picked a game that we knew we wouldn't have to watch to closely and they would score a lot.

It's game day!

We headed down early with Julia and she was excited. We told her that before the game we would go and see all the fun stuff they did before the game. We played a few games where Julia got to spin the wheel for some prizes. She had a great time. Then we saw the BYU cheerleaders and they were painting a 'Y' on peoples faces and Julia had to do that. She also got to see Cosmo and get a picture of him. She was so excited to meet him and we got a good picture. During the game she would always be on the look out for Cosmo and would point him out every time she saw him.

Getting a great picture with Cosmo

We headed in and grabbed something to eat. We told Julia about the 'cougar tails' and she was excited to get one. Its a huge maple donut bar and its extra long like a cougar's tail. We all had a little of that to eat since it was big enough for everybody.

The view from our seats

The Yummy Cougar Tail

We had a big hike up to the very top of the north end zone where our seats where. It certainly was a nice day but way to hot. Julia kept saying to us she was sweating and was worried about her 'Y' coming off. By the end of the 1st quarter we had to hit some shade. We walked around the stadium and bought some hats to keep Layne and Julia a bit more cool. We hiked back up to our seats right before half time to watch them score. Julia would watch the ball into the end zone and then signal touch down. Then the fight song would play and she would clap right along and stand up at the right parts. Her favorite part is at the end when you shout rah rah ,rah rah rah, gooooooo cougars!! She loved doing that each time they scored.

Julia's new hat!

During half time we noticed some shady spots in the stadium and decided to go switch our seats so we would get heat stroke watching the 2nd half. So after yet another hike down and then back up we finally were able to watch a little of the game and enjoy it in the shade.

I asked Julia what she liked most about going to the game and she said, getting the Y painted on her face, and meeting Cosmo and watching the game. She said she LOVED all of it. I'm glad she had a good experience and had fun. She did a good job watching the game and learning about it. She never complained once about wanted to go home, only that it was way to hot. I told her we would have to maybe go again some time and she was excited to hear that. She said maybe we could go to a basketball game and asked if she had ever been to the basketball arena and I said I don't think you've ever been there but maybe we can go sometime.

It was a fun day and a great experience. GO COUGARS!!

Picture of the week.......

Enjoying a nice summer evening.

It's that time of year again..........

Whenever Christian see's anything BYU he will say
GO COUGARS!
