Sprinklers & family party

Tad LOVES water! As soon as you turn on the tub he hurries as quickly as he can to the door because he thinks it's for him. I was still surprised that he loved playing in the sprinklers as much as he did. He played in the sprinklers with Elizabeth & Brandon 2 days last week. When you try to take him out of the sprinkler he turns and tries to walk back to them! He didn't even shiver very much. Both days as soon as we changed his clothes and layed him down he went right to sleep.


Usually my mom's side of the family does a big Christmas party - held at a church because we're talking 100-200 people. (Fred makes fun of us because his family get togethers fit in the family room of his parents' house!) This year they decided to try a summer party. It was supposed to be mid-June but got rained out. I liked the idea of a summer party - and the salad selection was much better! :} They grilled burgers & hot dogs, then had games for the kids, bingo for the adults, and a mule drawn wagon ride for anyone who wanted to. My cousin Breanna stole Tad and took him, then I went the second time around. He doesn't look thrilled in the picture, but as soon as he got off he jabbered away like he was telling us all about what he saw. Sometimes I can't wait for him to be able to talk and hear his side of the story.

It was held at the Henefer Park so of course Tad had to swing and slide. After several attempts to not hold onto him, and finally putting my hands behind my back, Tad has gone down a slide by himself a few times! If you set him at the top he can push himself off and everything! It still makes me slightly nervous, but he loves it! Now if only aunt Crystal wouldn't teach him that you walk up the slide to get back up!
