Deer Valley Pre-4th Firework Show

Last Saturday the park near my parent's house did a firework show to celebrate the 4th of July. We decided to go as a family. Joss had a lot of fun until the set off the first firework. We were REALLY close, like having the casings fall on you close and she was scared because it was loud. She ran over to me and told me she wanted to go home. I tried to get her to look at them but she wouldn't. She whined on my shoulder for a few minutes and then fell asleep. The rest of us enjoyed them.

Siblings

Whenever I try to get a picture of Seth, Joss runs over and tries to get in the picture too. Here is a cute picture I got of them when I was trying to take Seth's 10 month photo.

Joslyn

Joslyn is growing up so fast. She has become very bossy. She is always telling other kids what not to do. She is also quite the bully at times. If someone isn't doing what she wants them to do she will push them. She is always pushing poor Seth over. Luckily, most of the time he doesn't care and goes on playing with his toys.
Joslyn has started talking up a storm. Everyday she is using new words. I just wish she would use "please" a little more. She is really good about saying "thank you" though.
Joss loves to climb/hang from things. We call her our little monkey. She is always hanging from one thing or another. She is really strong. I am actually really surprised, but happy that she hasn't tried to climb out of her crib yet. She knows how to climb into it, just not out of it.
Joss also loves to color. She especially loves when her daddy lets her color pictures on his phone.
She has also started wanting me to put bows in her hair and she will usually keep them in for a while too. They usually just fall out on their own from all her climbing and jumping around. I do wish her hair was longer and fuller so I could do some fun stuff with it. but that will come.
I can't believe my little baby has become a little girl. She will be three before I know it.

Ten Months

Seth is ten months old now! He is such a sweetheart. He has developed a scrunchy-faced smile that just melts my heart. He has also learned how to stand without holding on to anything for support and it won't be long before he is walking and running around. He still has no teeth but they will be coming soon. He loves balls and books. He will play with them all day. He is such a great eater. We have only come across one thing that he doesn't like and that is melon. He has gotten better about eating it lately, but its still not his favorite and will often be left sitting on his tray. We love this little guy!

Colonel Mustard

My dad loves dutch oven cooking. He has a group of friends that get together regularly and cook together. He also competes in dutch oven cooking competitions.
In this circle of dutch oven friends he is known as Colonel Mustard. He got this nickname when he accidentally added 2 CUPS of mustard to a recipe that only called for 2 Tablespoons. Big difference there.
For Father's Day I decided to make him this apron to wear at his dutch oven gatherings.

Sweaty Boy

This is how Seth woke up one afternoon from his nap.

Flutter-Joss

Joslyn's favorite after-bath activity is being "Flutter-Joss". She puts her towel on her head grabs the corners and runs around flapping her "wings". She especially loves it when he join her. She runs around giggling and Seth usually chases her trying to grab onto her towel.

Flapping her wings.
