Summer Fun...Long past and gone!

I hope that this post is successful! I get pretty frustrated with our internet sometimes...It seems to hate uploading my pictures! So...We had a busy, fun-filled summer and I just wanted to add some fun pictures of the kids and some of their activities.

Wyatt had a fun T-ball season. He is such a good little player. The only bad thing about this year was the color of the team shirts. Wyatt was terribly disappointed...Pink...Come on! So, the coach told everyone to think of a cool team name. Wyatt wanted to be called The Legends, but one of the moms thought it would be funny to name them The Pink Panthers. Ha Ha Ha...Wyatt was not impressed. Poor kid. He did not put on his shirt during the first game until he saw that all of the other boys were wearing there's too. There were only 2 girls on this team...not a cool color for a bunch of 6-7 year olds!


Garrett went to swimming lessons with his best buddy Micah. They are too cool! They enjoyed playing Mr Shark, Mr Shark What time is it? And, Garrett loved going under the water. He learned a lot and lost pretty much all of his fear of the water...Garrett is one crazy little man!


One of our friends gave us a cute little playhouse. Alyssa loves it and, even though it is pink and purple, the boys have fun with it as well. We spent the WHOLE day outside the day we brought it home! Thanks so much, Olsons!!

We had a HOT...I mean fun 4th of July! We spent the day in Boise at a car show...not a usual event for us, but it was a lot of fun. A few of the highlights were seeing Mator from the movie Cars, Bumblebee from Transformers, and catching a glimpse of the Fonz from Happy Days! "What Momma don't know..."

Later that evening the boys decided to have a mud bath! Yikes...They started out like this...



and ended up like this...




We then went to see the Mtn Home City Fireworks...It was a lot of fun!

And, what better way to spend your summer time than by eating watermelon!
We are very grateful for the liberties and freedoms which we enjoy being here in the Grand Ole US of A!!

Oh, Alyssa is beautiful, Leah! Looks like you guys had a great summer. As wonderful as it is here, we sure miss Mt. Home and have so many fond memories of our time that we spent there. I love meeting great people like you that influence me for the better.

I agree with Wyatt, pink is a way stupid color for a team with boys on it! And The Legends is a WAY cooler name than the pink panthers (although I was on a softball team named the pink panthers hehe). You are doing such an awesome job as a mom Leah! Wyatt is so well behaved in primary and he is very smart too!
