Father's Day pictures

We went up to Brigham City for Father's day this year. It is always fun to get together with the Webres. Jill was so kind to take family pictures for us. Thanks again, Jill! I love them!

My boys!

I forgot to post the boys 7 month pictures on this blog. So here they are:

Baby Food

Once upon a time, the doctor told us that the boys are ready for baby food. So we went to the store and found that one tiny package that does not even feed them a full meal is an entire dollar! Ridiculous.

So I had a brilliant idea of just making our own baby food. I went online and found a blog that gives recipes for baby food. When I discovered how easy it was, I was sold. I went to the store again and purchased an entire bag of carrots for $0.88

steamed them in our handy dandy rice cooker...

pureed them in our Ninja...

and voila!

It went over very well with my test subjects

It will be happening again. I'm excited to explore more baby food recipes.

BBQ

This weekend we FINALLY had a BBQ at our house. We have been talking about doing one since we moved in, but never set a date. It was so much fun to have all our friends over. And it was a perfectly sunny day.

It happened to be Pony Express Days here in Eagle Mountain this weekend, so the boys got to experience their very first parade. They weren't that impressed. Maybe we'll try it again when they discover the wonderful world of candy. (There was a TON being thrown from the floats).

I love that we have a big enough backyard to be able to play volleyball. We had a net, but did not have any poles, so the boys improvised with a bed frame nailed to the fence and a large fence post of some sort. Classy, I know.

This was the baby hang out corner

Most of us (minus Blake and Jason)

We got a jumperoo for the boys off KSL, Bennett is a huge fan. (note: you can see the bed frame on the fence in this picture.)
