Shwoo....


Yeah we're tired. This is how I found the kids the other night. Ava had climbed into bed with Nathan and they were OUT! We have been super busy! Here are some of the fun things we have been up to.

The kids just finished their first session of swim for the summer. Since I was in a Mom & Me class with Ava I couldn't really take pictures until the last day. They had a blast and learned a ton. Ava keeps telling me to let go of her so she can swim like Nathan. Kind of scary~ she is FEARLESS.

On our way to our last class! Nathan is still so skinny from when he got super sick awhile ago :(

Nathan went down this slide one time, and Ava went like 3 times and loved it!

Last week Nathan was invited to a party at this indoor huge trampoline place. I took Ava to jump there( in the baby area) while the older kids ran all over. The kids had so much fun. There were tons of inflatables and then these massive trampolines. Nathan was so good to jump on a few of the things with Ava before going to play dodgeball.


Nathan and his buddy Colton



On Monday I got a call from my Gma saying that some of my cousins were up in Kolob and she really wanted us to come up....Tyler had to work and I was super nervous to drive up there on my own with my babies, but since there were cousins I hadn't seen in ages (I saw one when he was born when I went to help my ex-Aunt...14 years ago, and his sister I had never even met, she is 12 now...long story) Anyway these two cousins of mine are the sweetest kids. Ava instantly loved Sydney and kept saying they were sisters. They played puzzles and snuggled, and just had so much fun. Nathan and Parker played catch, went for a hike, looked for rocks, played dominos. How many 14 year old boys do you know who will play with a 5 year old for 5 hours straight? I really hope I get to see them again soon. 



I also felt like I needed to go up because my Uncle Richard. He is getting worse by the day (having seizures and falls).
 I didn't get home until after 10 that night and was so nervous with the deer on the side of the super windy, steep, road in the dark but we made it home and had a really great time.

I want to go to an indoor pool!!!!!! That's good that you're having them take swimming lessons, I'm glad I did! We want to go up to Kolob lake sometime, or you know, build a cabin up there :)

Monica, I'm always so impressed with how sweet you and your children are. Now your cousins are even as sweet. What a blessing your family is. :) And you bless them right back. I'm sure your Uncle really appreciated you coming to visit. Glad you made it safely!
