Johnson reunion 2017 Boise

 We recently went to a reunion with my family in Boise. We go there often since it is a central meeting place. When we first got there we went to the Boise Zoo. The kids loved it. Evelyn actually went on the little carasaul. I can never spell this word apparently. She NEVER goes on the Hogle Zoo one, I couldn't believe it.

 The cool thing about this zoo is they had little "playgrounds" all over around in the zoo. That was unique.

 Here is how Adeline did the zoo.

 Petting zoo part of the zoo.

 Here was the roaring rapids water park. We went on family slide night from 6-10pm. It was SO fun. I hung out with Evelyn most of the time. Grandma stayed with Adeline. Evelyn LOVED the wave pool. I think she jumped over waves for a solid forty minutes.

 Sadee did Evelyn's hair for church. How is this fancy hair girl? Seriously impressive.

 Grandpa got Liams hair to stay down. He looked divine. I'm his mom but still.

 Visiting Krispy Kreme to see donuts being made.

 Playing at a local park. Evelyn LOVED this slide. She could do "it all by myself!".

 Visiting Boise State campus. It was nice to have a good walk.

Collin turns 9!

 So randomly I ended up potty training Evelyn the week before Collin's birthday. I told him she is pretty good now, but we may be kind of limited on what we can do with her around. I could NOT not go back to no potty training after all the efforts. So he requested Little Caesar's pizza for lunch.

 Collin designs his own cakes now. *Yeah! He made a Harry Potter Quidditch match this time. We went a few days ago to the bulk foods section at Winco. You should have seen how excited Collin was to buy whatever candy he wanted to decorate his cake. I was quite impressed how well he did.

 He also requested to go to Swig for dirty sodas. Liam didn't love his.

 So Collin drank both.

 Then we had a pinata. Can you sense a candy theme here?

 Completed cake.

 Present opening.

Liam and Mommy July date and tummy time

 So July was Liam's turn for parent/kid date and he chose me! He wanted to go to Cowabunga Bay. He has basically wanted to come here for like "ten years" he told me. So on a Saturday afternoon we went. It was SO fun. I am proud to say I went down every water slide.

 Liam was so happy to learn he could go down every water slide by himself. This was SO huge because he is so short lots of times he can't go down water slides. But he just went down every one multiple times no big deal. And he LOVED the lazy river because it was so warm and less tubes.

 Adeline got plenty of tummy time practice. She is still the most mellow baby ever. LOVE her. I hope her mellowness sticks.

Random July 2017 pictures

 Oh that hair! Oh those raspberries from our garden! We apparently need a bigger raspberry patch since everyone eats them like crazy.

 Collin working the grill.

 Evelyn never randomly falls asleep but apparently she does :)

 Liams first sunflower this year :)

 Adeline rolled over for the first time :)

 Collin mowed part of the lawn for the first time all by himself. He thought he was so cool. LIttle does he know soon enough that can be his job permanently :)

Water fun
