Summer Fun

This summer was so fun and I can't believe that it is over already.  We had 2 fun weeks of swimming lessons in June at the city pool for Shayd.  He didn't like it at first and he wouldn't go under the water.  After the third day I told his instructor to just dunk him!!  And she did, he survived and he is now a little fish.  It was very sad for me that Zayn couldn't take them this year but next year.  I am a little nervous for him to take them because he is not afraid of the water at all.  We went to roaring springs.  Not super fun when you are 38 weeks pregnant but the boys had a blast. 

Being pregnant I really just wanted to have a clean house and then just lay on the couch and enjoy the central air!!  But being a mom of boys that rarely happens so I did try to do some fun things with them.  We painted a lot and I even took them to the Midvale pool by myself which a little difficult but worth it.  We did play outside if the mesquites didn't eat alive first.  

This is our neighbor and he was doing a little dance for us!!  He is huge.

Keith brought home a swingset that the neighbor gave us.  It was in rough condition and sat in our driveway for a while.  Yes we are a little whiskey tango at times.  And yes my boys are running around in undies and boots but at least they are not naked!!  They love there swingset and Keith fixed it up nicely for them. 

Porcupine race!!!!  We spent Fourth of July with the Crossley family!!  Uncle Ben and Aunt Julie and there kids came for a visit from Ohio and we had a good time.  Keith let of the fireworks.  Zayn thought they were a little loud.  Shayd beat up on all of his cousins.  And cousins Jake and Caleb had motorcyles and he informed Keith and I that he needed one really bad so he could pop a wheelie!!  Great!!! 

Julie and the kids before the parade!!

We had a devastating loss on July fifth.  Little Hayes died from a sudden illness.  He was such a sweet boy.  We love him and he will be greatly missed.

The boys got to go horseback riding with Lexcie and Trayce!!  Always one of there favorite things to do!!

And going to Nannies to have pop and ice cream for breakfast.  I don't even try to stop them!!

Playing in the dirt!!!

We were REALY lucky to have Sydnie and Quincie come visit us for almost a week in July.  We went swimming.  Zayn would sling shot a hair tie out in the water and the kids had to get it.  He loved it. 

Quincie and Shayd cuddling. 

Only Quincie could put on a 4 year olds chaps!!!
 Q, Zayn, Shayd, and Syd before Shayd's last day of swimming lessons in July with Melanie. 

Shayd got another week of swimming lessons from Melanie in July.  He did so great he finally learned to dog paddle.  He got to go down the slide and he just really did amazing. 

And our Kaycie Ann came and stayed a whole week with us in July!!  The boys loved having all the company and I loved all the help.  Keith's brother arranged a fishing trip for all the brothers a week before my due date. I asked Kaycie to come help me with the boys but Keith decided not to go.  Of  course we didn't have the baby early but he said he would have been mud if I would have.  But we loved having Kaycie.  We played in our pool made super hero capes and she made the BEST cookies for us.  We love her.
