Summer is happenin'!

Well I blinked and a whole month went by. Here's a little update to our happenings here. I haven't had my camera with me as much as I should have as we have been doing a lot of fun stuff, so I don't have pictures of everything.

The first week we were out of school we went to Grandma Colton's house and helped her clean a little to earn some spending money for our summer activities. Then we went swimming at the So Jordan Rec center while Joey took a nap at Grandma's house. They had a lot of fun there and had a hard time leaving.

We also took one last trip to the Zoo before our membership expired. We packed a lunch and stayed for hours and saw every last thing and caught all the shows. The day we went was very nice, it was still mid 70s and was great, all the animals were pretty active. We didn't have the camera with us that day, so sorry no pictures.

I can't recount everything we've done but between working in Grandma's garden and swimming in the backyard and at bigger pools, sleep overs with cousins, trips to the library and grocery store, picnics in the park and Farmington pond, and playing with the neighborhood crew of kids we have managed to keep ourselves quite busy.

Music Camp:

Sarah and Leah had Musikgarten summer camp the 3rd week in June. They went 4 days from 9 to 11:30. They had all kinds of crafts, painting, singing, water play, etc. They had a great time. On Thursday, we had Family music night where they could show off everything they did.

Here's some fun Bath time photos of Sarah Leah and Joey

...and here's Jo Jo after discovering Mom's homemade chocolate chip cookies... can we say yummy?!

4th of July fun:

The 4th was a busy day we started out with the Kaysville parade in the morning then we went back home and set up the wading pools to play in the water. Nick and Natalee's family came and we had a BBQ and played, followed by fireworks at Davis High. By the end of the day, the kids were pretty worn out.

Joey gets a haircut!

It was really odd to cut his hair so short, I almost went into a panic after the first swipe of the buzzer. I had to remind myself that he's a boy and it's OKAY to have short hair...not a freak out moment like it would be if I did it to one of my girl's hair.

DURRING: Those little rubber bands ended up everywhere but they kept him occupied :)

...and one last entry before I switch to my gardening blog and get it updated....

by special request from Emma, she wanted me to post pic of her creation of blocks :)

I'm sure I'll be on again in a couple weeks with a giant update again. Emma and Bekah have Summer camp next week and the week after that we are off to Yellowstone for the Nilson family vacation.
