Well we have started summer off by doing some fun stuff as a family. We got a pass to the Lindon Pool which has been tons of fun and I just love being able to sit out in the sun all day. We took the boys camping for the 1st time which is kind of sad that they have never been. Since we bought the house we have had project after project from building the patio, putting in the yard, putting in the fence, landscaping, and now this year finishing the basement(yes I am starting to realize that I am a slave driver). We decided to make Dave take a brake and take the boys up to Hope Camp ground. We went with Dave's brother Curtis and his wife Jess. They brought Hazely which the boys were so excited about. The boys loved it.
On memorial Day we took the boys to This is the place monument with my parents. We went and visited my Grandpa Bob's grave on the way up and then went and ate at Ruth's Dinner. My dad saw it on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives so he wanted to check it out. It was pretty darn good. My favorite was the atmosphere. It was fun to eat outside in the canyon. It was baby animal day at This is the place monument so the boys loved holding some of them and of course their favorite was riding horses. It was a great day with perfect weather.
We had to do our annual trip to the Orem summerfest. It was a bit cold and rainy but the boys had fun. They both won a fish at the fishing bowl game which had to be the highlight but of course the fish died a few days later but they loved having them for those few days. That same weekend Dave's sister came from Arizona and took out her temple endowments. It was such a special day and we felt lucky to be a part of it. My niece Kenzie was also baptised that weekend since she was in town so it was a fun weekend with Dave's family. We got together at my house Saturday night and watched the summerfest fireworks since you can see them from my drive way.
Parker got to start T-ball this year and I have to say that Dave is glowing. Dave is helping coach the team and both him and Parker are loving it. It is so fun to watch all the kids figure out running the bases and fielding the ball. Sadie and Saylor are on Parker's team too which has been fun to have them all together.
The kids play with the neighbors all day long which makes me love living on a flag lot more and more. I am trying to keep as busy as possible this summer so hopefully this pregnancy goes fast. I guess I need to be grateful for the weather not getting too hot yet as I hear that is one of the hardest parts of being pregnant in the summer. I am 24 weeks along now and getting more and more excited to have a new little baby around. I truly miss it. My boys have gotten so much easier the past little while as they get older and more independent. I have to say that life is great and I couldn't be happier.
