July 2013

After getting home from our trip and TJ studying for boards we were ready to just have some nice relaxing summer days. 

I'm not sure why Ledge was naked, but it happened quite frequently.

Pudding as an after dinner treat. Not sure they got any in their mouths???

So HAPPY!!!

I did my long runs on Saturday in prep for the half marathon I signed up for. After a long run we rewarded ourselves with the powerAid Slush from Sonic. So yummy. Once I got home it was no longer mine. The three boys downed it.

Riding the little Train by our house.

My little sister got engaged in Paris about a week after we left Idaho. I was so excited for her and she has the best proposal story ever. Kennedy showed up and surprised her at the Eiffel Tower. What a catch!

I love, love love her ring too!

The boys had their very first visit to the dentist and he was the best dentist ever! Cohen asks almost everyday if we go to back so daddy can "dentist" his teeth.

Our neighbors finished their basement and TJ was able to help a little. 

At the beginning of June we found out we were expecting baby #3. I had mixed emotions at the beginning because I had just signed up to run another half marathon in October, and just lost all my baby weight. After a day or two I was excited though! I had my first appointment the end of July at about 13 weeks and seeing this little baby made me ecstatic! One of the pictures I got looked like there was another head in there. I had to double check with the doctor when she came in that there was only one baby, and she confirmed! No twins for me!

Studying for Boards

Surprise surprise, I'm way behind on my blog again. I guess that is just how I operate. I really do want to have a record of all of these things though so here I go again on operation catch up!

When TJ was two weeks out from taking his dental boards in June we packed up and took off for Idaho. I was glad we did cause all he did was study. 

Before I left I made this sign for my mom as a late Mothers Day Gift. She had pinned it on pinterest and asked me if I could make it for her. It was a really fun project.

When we arrived in Salt Lake Aunt Meme picked us up and took us to do lots of fun things. Cohen's favorite was the dinosaur museum. Both boys were in heaven.

I didn't take nearly enough pictures but we had so much fun hanging out. Spencer and Nikki and their family were there our first week and Stephen and Afton and their family came during our second week. It was so fun to get some cousin time in. My boys love, love, love their cute cousins.

My Beckham is getting so big

We went to see Monsters University. 

Ledger was exhausted and fell asleep mid lunch in the high chair

This picture is from TJ depicting what his life was like. Lots of books & caffeine.

Cohen still had some Christmas money left from Grandma and Grandpa so he treated everyone to some cotton candy after a yummy dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory.

We picked up Zoey and Brooks and took them back to Idaho with us while Stephen and Afton took a quick trip to Texas. They were so good and it was fun to have a little practice with having a girl!

Cohen and Brooks were out cold before we even reached the freeway.

These two crazies...not so much. They stayed away pretty much the whole 4 hour drive.

We took a trip to Bear World. It was outrageously expensive. Thanks Mom and Dad! It was really fun though and I'm glad I can now finally say that I've been. Cohen talks about going back there all of the time. 

The 4th of July was HOT! Miserably hot! We went to the parade in Idaho Falls and the boys loved getting the candy. I personally could not wait to get back into the air conditioned car. 

High fives for the dare graduates!

We had to leave shortly after the parade because we flew back home the 5th. We went to fireworks in Sandy with Merilee, Laura and Kennedy. I was hoping the boys would be more into it this year but they seemed less than impressed. They did love the sparklers though.

Merilee also went through the temple while we were there. It was so fun to get to be there for that. We had lots of time on the trampoline, a couple weenie roasts, a visit to the zoo, shopping trips, and lots more I didn't capture. As always though it was so wonderful to be in Idaho and get to spend time with some of the people I love most. TJ took boards the day after we got home, and he PASSED!
