A summer of lots of growing... Yes, not so much my two older boys, as much as my youngest, Daniel. This summer was full of milestones. From introducing baby cereal, and crawling, to eating table foods and running with the bonus of climbing!
On the 4th of July week the kids enjoyed the neighborhood block party.
There are not much little ones left in our block but the older ones still played with them..
Later that night I let them stay up to watch fireworks.. but we forgot how many mosquitoes would love a taste of these sweet twinkies!
They literally got bitten a ton where their pj's weren't covered them.
Since last summer (2010), Benjamin had access to the door since he graduated from a crib to a regular mattress on the floor. However he couldn't opened it (child proved). This summer he "figured out" how to so at night he would wander around and get into "mischief", besides, he would wake up his new roommate, baby Daniel. Their room's door didn't have a lock. So, we decided to buy a new knob with a lock and put it on the outside. I has worked well. Now days we don't lock it, but the consequence for getting out of bed and wandering, is to lock the door. So, problem solved.
Daniel has grown so much, now sitting and trying to crawl he is definitely grown out of baby stages..
Later at our local grocery store they had a "bike and safety day" where kids got to bring their "hot wheels", learn about safety, wash their bikes and get some treats.. besides, seeing the huge firetruck engine. 
We also enjoyed time with daddy. He fed baby, carried him, cried with him..
By the end of July, the newly weds uncle Tyler and his new bride auntie Chelsea came and stayed with us. Chelsea's cousin was getting married here, and her family happens to be in our ward so, it was a party for us too. For that week they came, we spent some time playing and enjoying their company as well as having fun.
Chelsea (my younger brother-in-law's wife) graduated from BYU Idaho. 
We were all planning on going for that, but the men had issues at work and Grandma and I didn't feel "safe" driving with three boys all by ourselves. So, we missed this great moment, yet, my other sister-in-law, Riana, who then was working for the president of the University got to speak. So we had "great" representation!
