We spent a lot of time at splash pads and pools with cousins all Summer! This was one time at the beginning of the Summer when we went to the Sandy splash pad.
I joined my neighborhood's book club this Summer and loved it! I have been reading books I probably wouldn't normally choose off the shelf, and it's been so good! Love these ladies!
Last of the baseball games :)
We took our report cards to Krispie Kreme to get some free donuts!
We swam a LOT a Lyss' pool!
Grandma Connie, next door, babysits her son's puppy while he is at work. My kids just adore that tiny little dog, Milo!
We went to the splash pad and then to see Finding Dory for Brooklyn's birthday! Fun party!
There were LOTS of Summer jobs!
Cousin Cassie's bridal shower!
Playing in our pool with cousins.
Swim lessons - we did swim lessons at the city pool again this year. Kaley and Thomas both passed level 6 and will get to do swim team next summer! Wahoo!
We were going to go to the Springville splash pad one day, but it was CLOSED!!! :( We went to the Provo one instead!
Movie night in the Hartley's yard! (They live next door to us, and we pretty much share a yard - they have a party, we have a party!) We watched Zootopia this time.
Slip n Slide fun with friends!
Let me tell you a little about our Summer meals. In a stroke of genius, I decided that the kids would each take a day in the week to make lunch during the Summer. Thus, helping me with lunch time - which is torture!!! The kids would choose the meal, make sure that the ingredients made mom's grocery list on Monday, and then execute the lunch making and clean up on their day. The big 2 help the little 2, and it worked!!!! The kids chose things like: quesadillas, cinnamon rolls (frozen), pasta salad, grilled cheese sandwiches, nachos, frozen pizza, mac n cheese, pasta roni, etc. You know, nothing that I wouldn't normally fix, but then I didn't have to THINK about it! I really couldn't believe how smoothly meals went this Summer! Those days that we planned a picnic somewhere, that child was in charge of packing and getting everything ready to go! It was awesome! They learned a TON about cooking for themselves, and I felt like a good mom for letting them make a mess of the kitchen every day! :)
The other thing that happened nearly daily, was a FaceTime call to Danielle. Her phone died, and her only way of communication was FaceTime on her iPad. This particular time, I was on my phone with Danielle FaceTime, and on my iPad FaceTime with Grammie and Lyss. In case you were wondering, we decided we should swim. ;) That's how most calls went!
