Well, many of our Summer days look like this so far;
Sara makes a berry cream cheese with parmesan cheese wrap in her swimsuit when she's hungry.
Sara eats almost an entire box of dots on our way home from the store.
Mary bakes her amazing creations.
Sara has a friend over and they eat popsicles on the swings.
Luke lays with his sister so she isn't nervous at the dentist. I love how they both fit in the dental chair. I'm sure it won't be that way much longer.
Building reading forts in the family room.
Saying good-bye to our dear friends the Judd's who are leaving for 3 years to serve as mission presidents in Japan.
We enjoyed a Summer hail storm.
We spend lots of time at the pool.
Mary and I went to the church and started to learn to play the organ. We're not too bad if one of us plays the keyboard and the other works the pedals.
Luke spent two days at Webelos camp at Camp Tracy. It melted my heart when that dirty 10-year-old boy walked through the door at the end of camp with his wide-eyed stories and hand-crafted treasures! What a kid! I simply adore him!
Ben sporting his mountain biking tan at the pool.
Michael and Luke went to Wal-Mart to buy popsicle sticks so they could build bridges. They tested the strength of their bridges with forks and knives. It was clever and fun.
Our girls enjoying a Summer evening at the pool.
Admiring an amazing moon on our way home from the pool.
My sister is teaching our girls how to crochet.
We couldn't get enough of baby Nate while we were at her house.
Mountain biking practice is happening 3 times a week. On this evening, I went with the boys while Michael drove Big Cottonwood canyon for the first time.
I enjoyed the cooler mountain air for two hours while I read my book.
Michael handled driving up and down the canyon nicely.
Sara and I work on 2 pages of her "Summer homework" as often as possible.
That's some of what we do in the Summertime (so far).
