Family Fun

My mom wanted to do one last family get together before the end of the summer. Unfortunately we were missing Marcus and Maria, but everyone else was able to come. We met up at our house and had lots of fun. The first day we rented a bounce house and that kept the kids and adults entertained for most of the day. It was a lot of fun. Here are some of the pics.

This is my cute niece Keely. I just think she is the cutest baby girl ever.

And this is my best buddy Sam. We sure love spending time together.

We also headed over to Bear Lake for one last time this summer. I don't know why but this is the only pic we got of the day. It kind of helps you to see the pretty blue water.

Thanks Mom and Dad we had a lot of fun.

New Posts

Well I just did a bunch of posts with all we have done this summer. It goes all the way to Gone Fishin' if you are interested in looking.

Kindergarten

Well my "babies" are just getting too big on me. On Tuesday, August 28th they started Kindergarten. They did so good. We did not have any screaming or crying about going in. They both looked a little nervous as they were waiting for the bell to ring and the teacher to open the door. But when I picked them up at the end of the day they both said they loved it. Right now they have Mrs. Jensen. It could change though because right now they have 41 kids in their class so they are working on opening up another class. So not sure how they will pick who goes to that class but she is their teacher right now. They looked so handsome on their first day.

End of Summer Vacation

Well Gary has been pretty busy at work this summer so we had not been able to really get away. So we planned a little end of the summer get away. We did part of it this last weekend and then we are going to do one more thing on Monday. So on Saturday we headed up to Park City. First we did a little school shopping at the outlet mall and then we headed up to our hotel. A friend of ours got us an awesome deal at the amazing resort he works at. We were able to stay at the Stein Eriksen lodge. It was so nice. I think the boys thought they had died and gone to heaven staying at the hotel. We got to go swimming and enjoy the hotel.

My boys finally decided they loved the water. Here they are actually swimming under the water.

Enjoying the hot tub.

They also had to give the big jetted bath tub a try before we left.

We also went and rode the Alpine Slides. We had so much fun.

Lemonade Stand

A couple weeks ago we had a garage sale and Boston and Preston had a lemonade stand. They had been wanting to do this for so long, but we don't live on a very busy street so I knew they wouldn't get much business. So we had been planning a garage sale and told them they could do it then. Well the week leading up to it they were so excited. And it was the perfect idea to do it at the garage sale because they got so much business. I couldn't believe when we added up their total. They had made about $45. It was crazy. They had so much fun and enjoyed spending their earnings.

Sam

This is my nephew Sam. I don't know if I have mentioned before but he is my best little buddy. We got to watch him for about four days in August and we truly enjoyed it. My sister Kara says when she tells him they are coming to Kelly's house that he gets all excited and then he cries whenever they have to leave. It is so fun for me to have a little one that is so attached. But also kind of nice that I get to send him off with his mom when the end of the day comes. But man do I love this little cutie and I sure do miss him since they have moved a little further south and we don't get to see them as often.

Swimming Lesson

At the end of July we finally did some swimming lessons. I have said this before but my boys have not been big fans of the water. But they have gotten more comfortable and it is not a fight to get them in so I decided it was time. They had fun but I don't think they learned much. I was a little disappointed at the end of the two weeks because they weren't much further than what I thought. They still wouldn't even put their face in the water. But they went and I was proud.

By the end though they both did go down the big three story slide by themselves. They just needed someone to catch them at the bottom.
