Over the 4th of July Hailee and I had the opportunity to go up to Idaho to visit Jeremy, Allison, Lorelei, and Meredith. It was a lot of fun. We didn't get a chance to stay up there for the entire weekend because Hailee and I got sick but the 3 days that we were up there was a lot of fun. Hailee loved playing in the backyard with the girls in the swimming pool. They loved to run and jump into the water.
Hailee loved seeing her cousins. They all loved wearing the same pajama's that Nanna and Papa bought them. They loved to jump on the air matress and just run around and get all of their energy out. (or at least you would think) Those girls have so much energy they didn't stop until they would finally lay in bed and just rest for a few minutes and then they were out, but unfortunately morning always came way too early for me. I have a blackout shade in my bedroom so it's always dark. It makes it nice especially when we get to bed late because then Hailee will always sleep in a little longer because she thinks it's still night time.
It was really nice to be able to get out of town for a few days and I appreciate Jeremy and Allison opening up their home to us so we could come and visit. It is always nice to go visit family to stay in touch and so the cousins can hopefully stay close.
Thank you again. We love and miss you guys so much and hope that you will be able to come and visit us or that we can come and visit you really soon. Allison thank you for the pumpkin cookies they were amazing.
Over the weekend of the 24th Hailee and I went up to my dad's cabin at bear lake. I was hoping for another good weekend to be able to get out of town and let my hair down (yes it's short) and just relax with Hailee and my family. Boy was I wrong. Hailee had so much fun tubing and playing in the water. Every time people were going out on the boat she just had to go. She loved sitting on the front of the bow of the boat. We had gone out on a ride and all of the guys wanted to ride the big yellow water weinie. The wind started blowing and so the guys thought it would just make the ride that much better where they could get the bigger waves and hopefully tip each other off the ride and just really wear each other out. We were out on the water for about 20 minutes and the wind really picked up and the waves were so big that they were coming over the side of the boat. All of the girls got soaking wet and were trying to hide up under the sides of the boat where there were some cubby bins but that didn't let them escape the water pouring into the boat. Well now that my changes have been made and I am now private I thought I would take this time to update everyone on my summer. It was quite eventful and uneventful at the same time. We are not going to focus on the negative things that happened because I want Hailee to remember only the fun and happy times her and I had this summer.
The next day was a much better day and the water was perfect. Hailee even went out and got in a tube with Sammy and Nicole. They had so much fun. Hailee my sweet little daredevil just wanted to go faster and faster. Sammy wasn't as willing. Once we finished riding in the tube Hailee wanted to just play in the water. Now I have been working with Hailee in swimming pools going under the water and she has got really good at holding her nose and closing her eyes while she goes under the water. I jumped into the water and Hailee asked Grandpa Bob to throw her in. She loved being thrown into the water and she did such a good job going under and she didn't freak out at all. She is such a big girl.
We have done other fun things this summer. We went to Lagoon with Nanna's work which was so much fun and the weather was perfect. I am so excited for Hailee to get taller so she can go on all of the big kid rides. She is the adrenaline junky just like her mommy. :)
I hope everyone is well and I am hoping to be able to keep this more updated now that I should have some spare time when Hailee is at her dads house. I love you all and I hope that you will all stay in touch.
