Summer Fun

Well this summer was a whirlwind. Sadly not one that I can say I truly loved and enjoyed with my family but one I will definitely remember. My family is everything to Jesse and I but this summer we spent building our dream home to foster many more summer of memories to come. At least that's how I say it so I don't feel bad that we kind of had a sucky summer! But... we fit in as many fun times as we could possibly fit in without succomming to complete and utter exhaustion. Hopefully our kids will remember how hard we still tried to make it fun because we love them so much when really all we wanted to do was sleep! 

The girls were able to do a week long cooking class. They loved it and for some reason seem to love cooking.

On June 4th this adorable little man turned 4. At his doctor appointment he was getting an eye exam and when he saw the plus sign he screams XBOX. Haha he made the nurses day! He is a healthy, happy, crazy, fun loving kid. For his birthday we hit up the water park and this kid is fearless.

He has such a cute robot voice and uses the word me so incorrectly. Is me going with you? Is me getting one too? Haha I don't like to  correct him. He has finally caught onto the love of tablets and xbox and now we have to keep him away. He has gotten better though. Thank goodness.

One of our adventures to Kingston allowed us to hang out with cousins and hike to a beautiful waterfall. 

These boys are trouble and really enjoyed playing with toads.

Their cousin Jeremiah gave a great mission farewell talk and will be serving his mission in the Dominican Republic. The kids think he is pretty special.

On the very rare occasion that we have a spare moment in St. George we run over to Hurricane to hang out with the crazy Goulding clan. They sure are fun and I love seeing the kids together.

For the fourth of July we went to a very hott and long parade in West Jordan.

Later this day we went to the swimming pool and then went to a rodeo with my family. 

This has become a fun family tradition.

Bodee's graduation from upstart. He did great this year in preschool.

Of coarse he was so nervous and had the paper over his face. They asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he told them he wanted to be a fighter pilot. And he is just plain adorable.

Taking a little Sunday stroll

Bodee and Maverik had a summer soccer camp to attend for a week and they loved it. I love watching them play. 

Maverik finally almost getting his name down this summer. 

We were able to hit up Fish Lake with Kina and Nicole's family for the 24th. It rained and rained but in between rain storms we had a great time. Jesse got a new bow and did some amazing shooting at 100 yards.
