Slippin' Slide

Boston has found a new toy that he LOVES! We found this Little Tikes slide on KSL and we lucked out and was able to buy it for him. Like I said, he absolutely LOVES it! We'll keep it in the house and he'll drag it from room to room so he can slide on it wherever he is. He also likes to tip it upside down and climb on it and jump off of it. Boston has already went down it face first, backwards, and he's tried to run down it. Boston is definately our little dare devil. His poohbear gets his turn down the slide too.

Today we decided to go outside and enjoy this wonderful weather so we filled up Boston's little pool and let him go at it. He had never played in it before so I wasn't sure how he would do. He loves going to the swimming pools so I thought he would enjoy it. Well he kept running in and out of the pool and splashing everywhere. I then got the idea to see if he would like having his slide in the pool, so I went and got it and put it in the pool so he would slide into the water. It was definately a BIG hit. He was so thrilled and would not get out of the pool until he was freezing cold and his little fingers were prunes (Which he really hates. He freaks out when his fingers get all wrinkled and tries to wipe it off.).
I just love his cute smile. Boston has been such a sweet heart. He is talking so much and he definately tells you if he doesn't want something or if he does. Everyone just gets a kick out of his little personality.

Some other news: I don't know if anyone knew, but my sister Mandy and her husband Dave just had their baby girl, Emily Ray Phillips, on Tuesday! Cody and I now have a niece and Boston now has a cousin! We are so excited for them and we know that they will be wonderful parents. Emily was 8 lbs 4 oz and was 20 inches long. She sure has the Herrera chubby cheeks. Emily is such a cutie pie and we are so excited to see them at Thanksgiving.

Boston's Birthday Party

We wanted to let everyone know that Boston is turning 2 on September 8th and we are going to have a birthday party for him on the 7th (Sunday) at 6:00 pm. It will be at Spencer's Park which is on Timpie Road (1000 south) and 900 West. Please do not worry about a gift just come and celebrate Boston's birthday and enjoy some cake and ice cream.

Our little wrestler

We just had to put these pictures on the blog. Boston LOVES to wrestle. He has this big Tigger stuffed animal and he'll stand it up and run at it and tackle it. He'll roll around on the ground with Tigger. It's so funny.

Day at the Zoo

Last weekend we got to enjoy at day at the Hogle Zoo with Robin, Lauren, and Alissa. Boston sure had a lot of fun. He loves checking at all the animals and making the animal sounds. It has been so amazing to watch him grow and learn new things every day.

We have so much fun with Boston every day. The things he says just makes us laugh. He has learned how to give "Wet Willy's" and sometimes he'll give himself one. He has sure enjoyed living in Tooele. He definately gets lots of time with his grandparents and enjoys every minute.

Day at Snowbird with Real Salt Lake

What a special event we were able to attend last week at Snowbird. As season ticket holders, we were invited to meet the entire Real Salt Lake soccer team. We got lots of signatures from all of the players as well as plenty of pictures. The best part was watching Boston having so much fun running around and chasing Leo the Lion (the mascot). Boston also made quick friends with Nick Rimando. Boston was playing soccer at one of the areas and just before he shot the ball, Nick Rimando (the goalie) stepped in and stood in the goal. Boston thought it was so cool and he kicked the ball right past Rimando. Then, Rimando stood and grabbed Boston and took a quick picture with him. You can see that picture below.

This was right before Boston went to shoot.

Here is Rimando posing with Boston.

Some pictures with the team.

We are very eager to see Real Salt Lake finish out the season strong and remain in 1st place in the West. They have now reacquired Clint Mathis and they are still looking to add one more player to this team to push for a cup championship!
