Rope Swing

Someone built a rope swing over the creek behind our house.  I was surprised Peyton loved it as much as he did.  He's not really a daring kid and is afraid of heights.  However, he idolizes his Dad and when McKay talks him into doing something, he'll usually do it!  To me a rope swing over a creek is the epitome of boys and summer!  He loved going back there and begged to go everyday!

 McKay took a turn too!  He tried to convince me to do it, but it just wasn't tempting enough! 

Swimming Lessons

Kind of pathetic that Peyton is 5 and just had his first swimming lessons!  We will be better from now on!  Signed him up at the Legacy Center.  He loved it!  His teacher is the one on the left...

 Next summer we'll get Chayce in the pool too.  That should be a little more of an adventure!  Sure love my little swimmer dude!

Flexibaby

I know all babies are flexible, but Kate moves her little legs and body in pretty crazy ways!  And she'll sit in positions like this for long periods of time...

I really hope this stays and pays off in her dancing career someday :)

Miss Kate

A few random pictures of baby girl.  I feel so fortunate to have my two buddies and this little princess!  She is an active, happy baby who is very curious about her surroundings!  She's a babbler and loves it when people give her attention and talk back to her.  She's never found in public without a bow :)  Love our little miss!

Ears Pierced

 At six months we pierced Katelyn's ears.  I love how they look!  After having two boys I definitely have gone all girl with this baby!  She is so fun to doll up...

 

Aunt Chels is the best and bought the gun and earrings to do it for us!  She worked at the Piercing Pagoda a long time ago and her skills came in handy!  Kate screamed for a minute but was quickly over it!  They haven't bugged her since!  I love having a baby girl:)

Cowboy pictures

Pam had family pictures taken in a cowboy theme this year.  Ideal for my two little buckaroos!  They turned out pretty cute! 

 Pam has had this vintage buggy for years and had Angel's pictures taken in it.  She pulled it out for us to snap a few pictures with the baby girls.  I love the one of Katelyn!

St George Girls Trip

 Had a great time with my sister in laws in St. George!  Melis is so great to let us stay in her family's condo for a few days!  This year it was all about the babies!  It was nice to just have one child with me for a few days!  We ate yummy food, watched movies, went shopping, played Ticket to Ride and talked!  My perfect idea of a trip.  Sadly I didn't take many pictures and the three I did were of the babies! 

Kate started to say "dada" (her first word) so we filmed her and sent it to McKay.  It was pretty cute :)

Fourth

We had another fabulous fourth of July.  Top three in the holiday department for me!  I love dressing the kids up in their red, white and blue!

 Annual 4th Family picture in the Ercanbrack backyard

Katelyn started to sit up by herself!  This was a great day as now she can play with toys while sitting without Mommy worrying about her being on her back too much!

Cutest baby cousins!  Sad that Jersey is leaving so soon for Texas!  They can become pen pals eventually!

 The fourth wouldn't be complete without playing on Grammy's waterslide!  We had a yummy dutch oven dinner and fireworks to cap it all off!  A great day spent with family we love!

Strawberry Days

We took our little cowboys and cowgirl to their first Strawberry Days rodeo...it didn't disappoint!  It was a beautiful summer evening and the boys LOVED it!  We had fun with the McArthurs and Brent and Jill!

Every time we drive past the rodeo grounds they ask when we're going again!  Next year for sure boys!

Celine Dion

For an early birthday present, my Mom treated me to a night in Vegas to see Celine Dion.  My grandparents also came with us and we had a fabulous time!  She is one talented lady!  So grateful I had the opportunity to go and spend time with my lovely Mom and awesome Grandparents!
