Weekend Fun!

Our weekend started off on Friday with a BBQ with Austin's Provo Early Education Program (PEEP). Its the program with the physical and speech thearapists that come out and see Austin once a month along with a playgroup once a week. It was a great time! There were jumping castles, cotton candy, snow cones, hot dogs and hamburgers. Later a Provo fire truck came and set up its ladder hose so the kids can run and play underneath it. Austin loved every minute of it and of course Drew had to whine the entire time. I think he enjoyed himself from time to time though!



Drew, whining of course. He was sad because he spilled his cup of water on the grass.





A little happier in anticipation of the fire truck's arrival. They passed out hats for all of the kids!


Austin and his hat.



Drew with the fire truck. They never get old to him!


Brian took Austin and tried to take Drew under the water hose. Austin loves water so much he wanted to go back for more!







We also had the Gardner family reunion on Saturday up in Roy. They always start off with races for each age group. Drew won his age group with no problem! Austin didnt quite know what to do, since he really doesnt know how to run yet. His cousin Lola left everyone in the dust! We had a good time seeing some of the family that we never see. The kids played and played until they couldn't anymore!

Austin loves ice cream!


After the reunion, we went up to Craig's condo in Park City. It was really nice. The kids all went swimming and played and played some more! We had a BBQ out on the patio by the pool and hung out. It is so nice to see Craig's family!


Drew, pre drowning moment. He has gotten a lot braver in the past year and decided to go out too far in the pool. I shouted to Brad and Chad, who were just inches away from him, to get him, but they didnt hear me. Finally Kenna, with her camera in her pocket, jumped in to grab Drew. Unfortuneately, it doesnt work any more! Kenna is such a good Aunt and we are so grateful for her quickness in grabbing him.



Austin inspecting his belly. It is definately something to look at!



Austin loves to be in the pool. Chad took him out for a bit. Everytime someone put him on the steps after being out in the water, he whined until someone would take him out again!



Later that night, we went on the Alpine slide and the rollercoaster. I was really hesitant to take Drew up on the lift to get to the top of the slide and even more hesitant to take him on the slide. Boy, was that a wast of worrying! Drew had a blast every minute of it. He wanted to go so fast on the slide that I had to barely use the brake. I'm glad we did it!


A very dark picture of us on the chairlift. We rode up with Alex, Josh and Ryan.







Our arrival at the end of the slide.

Wow, you guys had a fun filled weekend! I can't believe how big Austin is and how much he looks like Drew! Aren't boys fun?

What a fun weekend! I really wanted to go up to the reunion, but was sick as a dog all day Saturday!! Blah!

Did you about die when Drew went too far in the pool? The sight of kids flailing underwater is like the worst sight ever, not to mention when it's your own kid! We've taken King a couple of times this summer and he is getting better at being in the water. One time one of his little friends was in the shallow walking around and she tripped and did that panic-flail because she couldn't stand up and it freaked me out! Her mom was right there and she was fine, but still!

Glad you guys had such a nice weekend! I can't wait till this baby is born and we can actually DO stuff!
