Playing in the lake

She pretty much clung to me like this most of the time when she wasn't in the floaty. Michelle had the good idea of taking everything off in the water to get all of the sand off. It worked well but she thought it was very scary.

I absolutely loved playing in Bear Lake. It is so beautiful and not terribly cold. The kids had a blast to. When we took Leah out she was pretty freaked out at first. I put her in the floaty thing and she cried so I took her out. Then she cried louder and leaned back towards the floaty so I put her back in and she was happier. She really didn't like the waves though so I had to try to keep them from splashing her. Daniel loved playing mostly in the shallow warm pools and digging in the sand. The second day we actually remembered to bring his life jacket but he still wouldn't let go. He is really good at clinging on tight. In the picture with Jon holding him the only reason why he was smiling was because we told him he needed to be brave for Leah so she wouldn't be scared. If we lived closer I would go there all of the time. It really was fun and good for the kids to have some water experience. We also enjoyed having relatives and friends there to play with.

Cake and more cake

Here is a video of Leah and her cake. She was very tired at this point so she is taking things pretty slowly. I think if I had given her the cake for breakfast the scene would be much different. I love the expressions on her face though. (sorry about all the the extra chatter in the background) Video's really take a long time to download. It is really cute though. Must be worth it.

After I took away the licorace and she really dug in.

Happy Birthday Leah and Eden!!

We had a birthday party for the girls on the 4th of July. Eden was born on the 5th and Leah was born on the 6th. Michelle had a great Idea to do Lady bug cakes We made two small ones for the girls, and a big one for everyone else. It was really fun. They were both very tired by the time we got around to having the cake because we did it after dinner. Eden went strait for the eyes and Leah for the legs. Leah was pretty content with the legs so I had to take all of the legs away to get her to pay any attention to the cake. She had fun digging in after that. She kept rubbing her hands together and looking at them. I'm sure they felt strange having all of that frosting on them.
