Free Bowling!




This week we went bowling at All Star Lanes in Sandy. They have a deal where kids can bowl two free games a day in the summer with only paying for shoe rental. We went with my friend Tina and her daughter Avery. We had a great time, Baylee would jump up and down and scream every time she knocked over pins. She was so cute. We were there a couple hours and it turned out to be so fun.

Swimming Adventures!




This is Baylee's first year taking swimming lessons and it's a good thing. She doesn't like getting in the water very much and is pretty scared of it. The top picture shows how scared she was the first day, she wouldn't even relax enough to drop her body down in the water. By the end of the two weeks she was dunking her head and jumping into the water, it was great!


Brynlee at swimming lessons.


Brynlee is doing so good at swimming, she even has a slight crush on her teacher Steven. At the end of class time they have a few minutes of free time and play a tag game in the water and Brynlee is the shortest one in her class and sometimes can't touch so Steven puts her on his back and helps her play the game, it's so cute!

Wow! This is all I can say, we are fat and white.



Here the family is at camp tracy on the weekend of the 24th celebrating with the White family as we do every year. We talked Baylee into swimming around the pool in floaties and she loved it!


By the end of the day she was jumping off the edge of the pool in the water all by herself and going under the water. I don't know how it happened so fast but she has turned into a fish. Two weeks ago she wouldn't even get into the water. She was the last one out of the pool that day along side of Brynlee.



Brynlee was loving the water and we even had her jumping off of the diving board and swimming to the edge all on her own. I'm so proud of her!


Carson and Connor lived it up in the water and had a great time also! It's so great watching my kids doing things for the first time and having the time of their lives! I even had a good time swimming when I normally just sit on the side and watch! The most memorable moment of the day for me was when I was in the bathroom changing into my swimsuit and grandpa Shumans friend came into the bathroom and dropped his drawers one stall away from me. Yes, I was half naked and trying to get my swimsuit on as quick as possible. I looked out the curtain to see him sitting on a toilet. I was crossing my fingers that he wouldn't drop a load while I was in there so I quickly grabbed my stuff and hurried out of the bathroom. All I can say is, it's a good thing that I wasn't changing out in the open or this old man for sure would have dropped dead from a heart attack. :)

July Fun...




We have been doing lots of fun things this summer starting off with a trip to Classic Skating to play. Brynlee brought her cute friend Ary with us, we have been babysitting Ary this summer and Brynlee really loves having her friend over so much.






We spent the fourth of July doing something a little different. We usually go to the Sandy City Carnival and play for a few hours but this year we decided to do something different and indoors. We went to Incredible Pizza and played all afternoon and ate lots of food. The rest of the day we stuck with tradition and went to the Sandy City Parade and then watched fireworks in our usual spot. Carson was so excited to be on the Jordan Football float this year and squirt everyone with his water gun. Connor was not able to be with us this day because he left that morning for scout camp at Bear Lake for a week. Warren and Baylee are standing on the side of the road at our spot on the parade route.




Here the kids are swimming with their cousins Kate and Miles when we babysat them last weekend. We had such a fun time with them it reminded me of how busy and tired I was when my kids were a little younger.


Here Carson is receiving his Wolf award in cub scouts and moving on to Weblos!


Other things we have been doing this summer is going to movies, playing at chuck e cheeses, playing & eating at Mcdonalds, going to Real soccer games, swimming and more. What a great time we have been having, hopefully the last month doesn't go by as quickly.

A Hairy Mistake!



Funny story about this picture, Warren cuts his own hair or should I say shaves off all his hair. One Saturday he was in a hurry to shave off his hair and jump in the shower to get to my brothers birthday dinner. We were about to walk out the door when Warren turned around and I noticed this scary sight of a strip of hair down the back of his head. I laughed so hard and long that Warren was getting mad because I wasn't able to talk to tell him what was left on the back of his head. We were already running late but Warren said there was no way he was leaving the house without finishing the job. So he pulled out the clippers and shaved the rest off. I laughed the entire way to the Restaurant thinking about what would have happened if he went to dinner looking like this.....
