Cory Showing Some Muscle!

We went to a Real Soccer game a couple Saturdays ago, and the mascot gave Cory all these tatoos. Of course he wanted us to put them on him as soon as we got home. Then he took his shirt off to get his pajamas on, and we told him to flex!

24th of July Parade

We had fun with Karen's family at the Pioneer Parade in Salt Lake City last week. We met with cousins and her parents to watch the parade. It was a pretty hot day and so we were all ready for lunch afterwards with all 19 of us at Chuck-a-Rama.

Family Pictures

We recently took family pictures. I think our kids are SOOOO adorable. Both the kids did really well. Hailey was finished taking pictures by the time it was her turn, but for the family and kids pictures she was really good. Just follow this link to see the entire photo shoot. I'll post some of our favorites here. Enjoy the pictures. All of the pictures were low res to protect copyright. The actual pictures are so much better.

Cory and Hailey were so cute together. We really liked this collage that the worker convinced Karen to buy. If our kids weren't so cute, it wouldn't have been worth the $20 price tag.

Cory was really excited to get his treat. The only way we get such cute smiles from him is by bribing him with some type of treat. This photo shoot only cost us a trip to McDonald's Playland. We treated ourselves to Panda Express instead of McDonald's. The kids got some Transformer toy and some girly bobble head doll. For some reason, the kids still love the stupid little toys, and they especially love the playland.

Hailey has the cutest blue eyes in the world. She was done with pictures by the time we got to her pictures, but we still got a couple of cute ones. We want to have my sister Stacey retake her pictures so that we can get some better ones.

Here is our beautiful, wonderful, happy family

This is Hailey's true smile.

We Have A Bike Rider

The funniest thing happened this weekend while we were at Karen's family reunion. All of the adults were inside preparing for Extreme Broadway while all of the children were happily playing outside. Cory comes running inside and yells, "Mom, come see something cool." Karen walks out to see what is going on and Cory took off on his cousin's 12" bike. We have only practiced a couple of times about 2 months ago and he was totally freaked out. Now he is doing really well. Since his bike is broken, he had to use a neighbors bike when we got home today. The seat is a little high, but he was doing really well. We finally had the opportunity to film him today, so I will post the video of him.
