Summer Lovin' with the Abadians

Jonah


I love this baby! We went for a walk up by fernwood and this boy loved it! You can tell by that cute little smile on his face. He's definently an outdoorsmen.


He has gotten so BIG these last couple of months. He's a baby in a toddler's body. He smiles like crazy and so easily and I love how he growls these days it's such a crack up!
Violet
Yes we did it! We potty trained the miss. She is so funny, she always wants me to read her a story or hold her hands while she goes. On this particular day she got a little fancy with the toilet paper and got some stuck in her tutu.

If there were one word to describe this little princess it would be Delicate. She walks around on her tippy toes and loves everything girly! She is definently not rough and tumble she's just a little lady.


She loved picking wildflowers in the mountains on our walk.


Ryker


This boy is getting to be a big kid. He would be in heaven if he could just play with his friends 24 hours a day. He loves friends!He loves watching our garden grow and checks on it every day. He picked these strawberries out of our patch and he also has been picking the raspberries off of our bushes. He has also been very entertained by catching bugs in the backyard. He's quite good at it too. He catches dragonflies, spiders, grasshoppers, and pretty much anything he comes across. He's not afraid of the creepy crawleys.


He also caught a snake and kept it as a pet in a box in our backyard for about 2 days. He is a little snake handler! Gary and I both don't dare to pick them up so it's quite funny Ryker loves snakes so much.


Ryker and his pet that escaped Mr. Snake.


The 3rd and 4th of July!


We went to the Canyons hotel in Park city and stayed the night. They had a concert and fireworks. Here is Ryker at the concert just entirely asleep.


Violet got her face painted for her very first time. She wouldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror!


Jonah stayed awake for most of the festivities including the concert at night! He also loved the fireworks.




Fireworks in Park city!


Ryker got his face painted too!


We had a big group with us of cousins, Aunt Jill, Uncle Brad, Grandma Jen and Papa Shane.


We danced at the concert!





And we went to Park city's parade the next day.


Here is part of our group.

Jonah bugs loved his too!





Violet's favorite part of the parade was the horses!


Ryker's was this bird man on the giant bike. He also loved the U.S ski team doing flips on their snowboards and ski's!

After Park City we went to Gary's Family's and had some yummy food and this adorable cake made by his Mom.


The kids did smoke bombs with Grandpa in the backyard.

It was fun having Gary around this time for the Fourth last year he was deployed. I am thankful to live in our free country and for the men and women who serve it!
