Quinn walking

This was still about a month ago but it was super cute.  She was trying to jump over the 'monies' just like Hailey (they are poker chips)


August

Our summer continued...

Grandma and Papa's - We went for a weekend visit at my parents house in August.




Tutu's - We (aka -'I') made lots of tutu's for Hailey and her upcoming birthday party.  She has been enjoying dancing in them!!!



Somebody learned to walk this summer!!!!!


She is much quicker and more stable now.  She is trying to master running!  It sure took her long enough as she was almost 15 mths old.

Hailey's 3rd Birthday - There were festivities galore at the end of August as we celebrated Hailey's 3rd birthday.  Just 2 more years until school *only somewhat joking ;)









For her party there was a bean bag toss, fishing, a teepee to play in and tutu's for our dance party.  I left it pretty open with no structured games.  They could just travel about as they chose.  Maybe next year will be the first 'drop-off' party where it is just me and her party guests!

July

There hasn't been much time for blogging since I started work 4 months ago!

I try to keep up with posting about the things that happen in the Isackson home to print out my blog in book form.  So I will try to catch up a bit on all the adventures of our summer.

July

Canada Day - was pretty low-key as it was Sunday.  We biked to the large park by our home and met up with some friends.  There was a huge slide that Hailey really enjoyed but the lineups for balloon animals and face painting were ridiculously slow.  We just walked around and visited then headed home around 9 pm.  Maybe next year we will try to stay up for the fireworks?  Naaaahh, probably will be a few more years till the kids can make it to midnight.




Water Table - this was the main attraction this summer (and what a beautiful summer it was)


Colonial Days Parade - This was the first parade EVER for the girls (yes I'm awesome like that ;)  They really enjoyed it (the candy mostly) and we will now be going each year.... though the 'floats' were pretty LAME.






Cardston trip - we made a quick trip to Cardston for my friends funeral, a sad, and very short trip :(

Library - we tried to make it to the library every week all summer.  The girls loved it!  Our library staff need to come up with a better summer reading program though...  LAME!  I remember ours growing up at the EPL they had weekly coupon prizes and charts and more... it was AWESOME!




Bike riding - We haven't been out enough for Hailey to master her push bike.  It was still a little bit big and wasn't easy for her to reach the ground.


Roseola (baby measles) - our girls caught this in July (and so generously passed it on to their babysitters kids).  Luckily it was very mild and didn't seem to bother the girls too much.


I'm not sure what else happened it July?

*if I don't have pictures of it, I don't remember it.
