The kids were so excited for the slide install day. They went downstairs and sat in the end of the slide with all their stuffed animals while they waited for it to be installed. The slide was delivered on

 7-28-15.

The workers worked on the slide install all day long, but had to come back and finish the next day because they didn't have all the tools they needed.

The kids liked watching the workers work.

** notice the cardboard window covering.

Look how big that slide is! Eeeeek!

At this point of living in our new house we still didn't have a kitchen table or window coverings and it was starting to drive us crazy. We didn't think it would bother us that much, but I quickly realized how much I appreciated privacy and a place to eat ;) We felt a little overwhelmed with the amount of money we put on the house already, so we didn't feel like we could spend more on blinds or a table with the savings we had after the unexpected extra $10K we gave to the builders on our closing. So....after a lot of talk. We decided to sell our scooter. We never use it, but we both have loved it. I kept saying I would drive it, but it just wasn't convenient and difficult to use with three kiddos. So, we took the plunge and sold it on KSL the day after we posted it. :(  We then took that money and bought blinds and shades for our front room. YAY!

I think I mentioned in a previous post that our neighbors had a pretty amazing fireworks display. BJ and I watched it on the porch swing while the kids were asleep. It was such a fun surprise. Look at how big these fireworks were!! And they were right outside our house!

After the slide was installed we had a few people over to try it (my aunt Amy came over that night!) We then had a FHE a few days later with all of my family.

My mom was a little scared to go down and even screamed the first time she went down. But she went down! I LOVE that adults can go down the slide too. How fun!!

Angela couldn't make it, but she came a few weeks later. The slide was expensive and a lot of stress to put in, but TOTALLY worth it if you ask me. I LOVE that I have a SLIDE in my house!!

Just before Ashlynn turned 7 months old she learned how to stand on her own. She did a lot of her praciticing in the crib in her room when she was supposed to be sleeping. 

On a side note: This girl loves food....

She quickly realized she could stand with the couch

or her play things

She is not picky either- she could eat and eat

and eat :D

This car table was one of Ashlynn's favorite places to be- especially when her big brother came to play with her. They sure do grow up too fast don't they?!

We always LOVE when daddy can come to Cherry Hill with us. Since he doesn't have season passes we use the two free one day passes we get when we buy our passes. The kids love it....as do I. 

ha ha ha ha Kaylee is going to love that I saved this picture

Every day as soon as we get to the pool the kids immediately ask for food. It's as if they come to eat instead of swim. oh well- good think I came prepared. 

Waiting in line for the Dragon Slide. The kids would go together while I stayed with Ashlynn. Next year though- we are all four gonna go together!

These kids LOVE the Dragon slide. It is by far their favorite thing at Cherry Hill. 

Every once in awhile the kids will all play in the same room together. If Ashlynn see's me then she will come out. So I usually try to sneak and take a picture or stay away while they have fun together. I love that they can get a long and play together. That is the fun thing about having them all close in age. 

I made these head bands out of one of Kaylee's old t-shirts. 

Hopefully I can convince these girls to match outfits in the future
