Boating

On the 5th of July we went boating at Jordanelle. My dad took his boat, and Aunt Janna (his sister) was there with her boat. We took Reese onto Aunt Janna's boat just at the shore while we all ate lunch, then my mom took her while we went on the other boat to go on the tube. It was Reese's first time on a boat, and again, even though she didn't get in the water, she had to be wearing her bathing suit! I went on the tube with Barrett and Ryan. It was scary! I was never such a scaredy cat as I am now! Luckily Dad took it easy for me.

4th of July

For the 4th of July we went to my parents' house in Heber. Reese had her 4th of July dress on, so of course we had to take pictures. I thought her little pose in this picture was so funny.

My parents have a fire pit in their back yard with two regular size benches and this miniature one for Reese (and other future grandchildren). It's so adorable. I thought we would keep taking pictures of her on this bench as she grows up, and this was the first time!

Swimming!

Ok so Reese didn't actually go swimming, but we were at a water park in Boise, so of course we had to put her in her swimming suit for the first time! It was so cute! We did take Reese on the lazy river. I held her on top of me on a tube. She wasn't so sure about it and cried a little the first time around, but then she stopped so we went around one more time. She didn't like getting splashed with the cold water, but we didn't get splashed that often. It was nice to have a lot of Barrett's family there who volunteered to watch Reese while the two of us went on all of the waterslides together.

Our house

Our house is done! Barrett and Wade did a great job on the siding. I'm so glad that my husband is such a handyman!
