24th of July

I love celebrating the 24th of July. We get to remember the pioneers and we're able to create lasting memories with our family. Here's Logan at the Bountiful City Parade. On Friday we went to the SLC parade. It was so HOT! Logan's cousin Cameron cooled off with his umbrella hat.
We decided to go swimming later that evening. This was the first time Logan and Daddy got to go together!
Logan celebrated too by ROLLING OVER! I'll try to post a video. He's rolling from his back to his tummy.

On Saturday we went to the driving range where Benj mostly played, I hit a few, and Logan relaxed and did some hand munching.

Reunion

Logan's first camping experience (sort of) was at my family reunion up Ogden Canyon. When I say camping it really was sleeping in a lodge with Logan in a pack-n-play. Logan did great but Benj and I both slept horribly (we blame the sleeping pads). We only stayed one night, but got to go on a mini hike and catch up with family. It was a lot of fun. Logan wasn't sure about the front carrier at first but really started to enjoy it once we started hiking. He liked sucking on it.

My dad, Benj, Logan, and Mom

A little blurry, but I thought this was cute.

Logan loves his Great-Grandma Richards. He got lots of attention!

Bubbles

Anyone else remember when the drool started with their babies? It has begun. Luckily it belongs on a really cute face.

Ahh, Summer

What summer would be complete without trips to the park, get togethers with old friends, and BBQs at least once a week? Enjoying the park with Grandma B and the cousinsCameron and Colton (top) with some fun friends. :) We had a BBQ with the Schicks and Sheibs, who have been friends with the Bradshaws since Benj was born!
Brent and Alan, 2 of the 3 fathers of the families. It seems the 3rd chair should be for Ted, Benj's dad, who passed away in 2005.
Waiting for our food.
I wish we had more pictures. Our camera died and I forgot to pack more batteries. We had lots of fun!

USA

The Bradshaws and Crofts had a great 4th of July weekend. It was just what we needed. Idaho Falls has one of the best fireworks displays so we try to make it up there every year. This year was no exception. At the parade. Logan is behind us in his stroller. He was sleeping well until the loud sirens went off. Benj, Grandma Bradshaw, Grandma Croft, Grandpa Croft and Uncle Andy. My brother Sam and his (almost) fiance Jenni joined us later.

Eating Grandpa's delicious burgers. Perfect summer meal.

At the fireworks at the Greenbelt. Logan had earplugs in and slept almost the whole time!

These pics of Logan and Grandpa are my favorites from the trip.

Looking at the apple tree.
Hope you had a great 4th of July!

Swimmin'

Logan went swimming for the first time on July 1st. We went with our friends Natalie and Callie Carver and Katie and Zac Bradshaw. Logan did great in the water and he almost fell asleep floating. Thanks for the fun time! We hope to go again soon!


So relaxed.

Oh so cute!

Shout out to . . .

my sweet hubby on his first official Father's Day. The boys have lots of fun together. To celebrate Logan wore his "Daddy's Champ" onesie.Also to my wonderful Dad, who loves being a Grandpa.

and to Benj's Dad, who I haven't met in person but feel like I already know. I think Logan had fun hanging out with Grandpa Ted before being sent to us. :) We love you all!!!
