Mom has kept us very busy this July...

We went on another hike...it was shorter...but steep...I sweat a lot!

We saw fish and ducks and it was very cool!

 We spent a Family Home Evening at the 7 canyons water.

And another day at the Children's Museum.

Mom took me roller skating...

It was really hard for me...

so I just used my scooter.

and boy did I have so much fun!

We've played in the water...

and have gone to the pool.

and played in more water.

and played more at the pool.

we colored on salt...

we made flubber...

 and rock candy...

 and I finished my first year of baseball.

I loved it!!!

July isn't quite over...

and Aunt Vicki and Aunt Mandy are coming to town...

so I'm sure mom will have lots more things for us to do!

June Fun

We have been very busy since school ended.

First we took swimming lessons.

Even Cooper and Mom had a lesson together.

I can float all by myself and swim on my back.

I also swim on my front but I can't go very far quite yet.

But mom says she's really proud of how brave I have become...

I don't even mind putting my face in the water anymore.

We got to go see the movie Epic.

I really liked it...Cooper liked the popcorn.

And I started playing baseball.

I LOVE playing baseball.

Mom is really happy about that!

We have taken Cooper to some new parks to play.

And we went on a hike.

Mom has decided that we need to spend more time in the mountains.

She picked our first hike to Lake Mary.

It was really steep...

and really long...

Mom had to carry Cooper in her arms for most of it.

When we got half way to Lake Mary mom decided we should just stop and go see Dog Lake, 

which was only a little bit farther...then we headed back.

We had lots of fun, but mom said that she needs to pick easier hikes the next time.

It's been really hot this June, so we have started to hit the pool.

...and suffer the heat for the carnival...

and then go to the pool some more!

Oh....and I got a fish!

His name is Betto (Bait-O).

I really like him...so does Cooper...that might be a problem!

It's been a pretty fun summer so far...Next up....

JULY!

1st day of summer

Kensie and Blakes came over on Friday.

It was hot!

We swam!

We had popsicles!

It was a pretty great way to start the summer!

Warm weather finally came to Utah!

A busy but very fun weekend.

Grandpa Jones and Grandma Mim came to visit.

On Saturday morning I got to go to breakfast with all the boys and Kens and Blakes while mom had a party for her cousin Mackenzie. I LOVE to go out to breakfast.

After mom's party, we all went swimming at the coolest place.

There was a lazy river...I wasn't very lazy...I went around it so many times!

 There was a big slide that I went down (with mom and dad)

and there was this wave thing that dad tried.

On Sunday, we got to have dinner at Jeremy's house...we celebrated our dad's!

Monday, I stayed at home with Addie while mom and dad went to Mackenzie's wedding.

And then Tuesday...we got to go back to the zoo.

I couldn't wait to show everyone the polar bear.

she is the coolest!

It was a super fun day!

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Mim for all the fun!

Swimming inside

I started swimming lessons again.

I did really good.

I even put my face in the water.

at the end of lessons we get to play.

The slide was pretty fun!

Summer ain't over yet.

Just because all the big kids started school today,

doesn't mean I can't keep enjoying summer

and the 95* we are getting all week!

Mom says this is the last pool open during the week.

All the other pools are closed for school.

Me, Jo and Grace are real happy it was open.

Maybe I can convince mom to take me back at least one more time this week.
