our summer so far...

...has been great! zach is working for papa and loving it, Casen has loved daddy driving tractor almost as much as mommy has, I love it that I can drop casen off for a half an hour or so with zach anytime i need to run some errands and casen will have a blast irrigating or driving tractor! he has the cutest irrigation boots and little shovel - I need to get a picture of that!

caen loves to "cheese" for any camera!


everyone in town is always saying how much casen looks like a hauser, which he does, although he's starting to look more and more like his daddy.
but here's some proof he's more like his OCD daddy than you'd think! I walked outside to find him doing this to all of his cars!


so excited for the rest of the summer! hopefully I'll remember to take lots of pics because we have some fun stuff coming up!
~ the 4th - pancake breakfast, parade in RV, bbq and races, lyman and fireworks!
I went outside the other day to find zach having casen run to him when he said go, which casen pretty much does on his own but he had him starting behind a rope, I wasn't quite sure what was going on and asked zach what are you doing, he said they were practicing for next week cause last year casen sucked...so watch out all you 1-2year olds, casen has been practicing for the 4th race!

~family camping trip! kam are you still coming, hope so cause casen is looking forward to playing with Paxton again! .

~ GIRLS trip to UT. well, casen and zach are coming too but continuing on to his families while me, mom and jaime spend time with friends from Kanosh at a cabin! :)

~ 24th of July!

~Lots and lots of gardening and canning, my dad has this new obsession with gardening and has quite a big garden, me and casen have been helping him out and are excited to eat and can the results!


About a month ago Kamarie and Reed came up to help her parents landscape their yard, they wanted to get away on a double date with their parents so me and zach got to watch paxton and asher for a few hours while they went to showlow, I've been meaning to post these pictures for a while, casen and paxton are best buds!



BABY update...well, really mommy update.
everthing looks pretty good except my weight, I really wasn't that sick, I just have not had an appetite something I thought would NEVER happen to me! I'm still 6 lbs less than I was before we got pregnant and I'm supposed to try harder to eat. so today I'm making red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, compliments of a sprinkles recipe, hope that makes the dr happy!
we get to find out in a month whether casen's going to get a baby brother or sister.
have not really come up with any names that we love, casen was an automatic for us, this one is going to be quite a bit harder. Casen loves to kiss my belly goodnight and give the baby loves. he also loves to play with dolls, which drove zach crazy at first, but now he's pretty much okay with it as long as it stays at the house. he has one baby that he sleeps with everynight and has to lay it down and tuck it in before he'll go to sleep.
