The Smiths: August 2012

I was doing a good job at keeping the blog updated, but I ended up skipping a few weeks and now I have a ton to catch up on! We are still loving the warm weather and keeping ourselves busy this summer.

I found a recipe on Pinterest for Gak (http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2010/05/making-gak.html), so I went ahead and made some for Dom. I think it was a little too sticky, next time I'll add more of the liquid starch. He thought it was pretty cool, but I thought he would be a little more excited than he actually was. Oh well! You win some, you lose some.

We got Dominic this cute new sprinkler. He doesn't really run through it, he mostly just fills his cups up with water from it. Funny kid.

For some reason, this boy LOVES to sweep the floor. He must think it's pretty cool because he sees us sweeping up his thrown food all the time. ;)

I love this pic of his messy yogurt face!

We went to the Roy Days Carnival on August 3rd. There wasn't a lot going on and Dominic wasn't big enough to go on any of the rides. So I went in the bouncey house with him. He seemed to have a lot of fun. The house even deflated when we were in it...twice!

Enjoying some cotton candy!

On the 4th, we went to our friend's annual luau. We got dressed up, ate good food, and watched the fireworks. Dominic didn't seem to care for the fireworks and even feel asleep half way through the show.

On the morning of the 4th, we ran the Roy Days 5k. My sister, Hillery, even ran it with us! I pushed Dominic in the jogging stroller and ran it in 32 minutes, I don't remember Tyler and Spencer's times but they got 1st and 3rd place in their division. And Hillery ran it in 38 minutes, good job everyone!

I decided to get Dom and I out of the house for the afternoon and we went to the Botanical Gardens. I shouldn't have been surprised, but there were bees EVERYWHERE! I can't believe neither of us got stung!

Dominic had fun running around and throwing sticks. :)

Look at all that hair!!

Getting ready to jump off the rock!

This last weekend we went to the Weber County Fair. Dominic was scared of the goats and cows, but loved the chickens! He got all excited and started hitting the chicken cage. He even started following a chicken that was just walking around outside of the cages.
