Around the House

Here's a peek at some random cuteness happening around our house these days. 

Adam has his Mommy's curse or gift, however you want to look at it, for being organized and following a schedule. I found this note on his dresser the other day and it made me smile.

 Gwen has been hard lately. The terrible two's have hit her fiercely! In between crazy fits, we get some moments of the cute and sweet Gwen. 

She loves to give her dolls check-up's. 

 Tessa is always coloring pictures for people and writing love notes to others. I find them all over the house. This is the thank you note she wrote to Mrs. Hales for the end of the school year. 

 Naps are rare for this Crazy. I guess she thought the rug would make a cozy blanket one afternoon. 

 This cute little Cub Scout earned his Bobcat award this week! He loves Scouts!!

Tessa is not a fan of having her hair done-usually. Sometimes she gets in a super girly mood and wants a fancy hair-do. Last Sunday, Mommy finally got a French braid in her hair. It only took us 5 1/2 years to get her hair all long enough to do one, but she looked darling!

Summer of Fun-Week 1

Summer has officially begun around here and we are trying to soak up every minutes of it!

 On Monday, these 2 goof balls started swimming lessons. They are both doing great and having a fun time starting their days in the water. 

 Most afternoons we have spent in the backyard in our own little swimming pool. Gwen cannot wait to dive in-literally. She is our water baby!

 Monday afternoon, we took a break from the sun and learned about the Artist, Michelangeo. Then Adam and Tessa tried to do some art work upside down. 

 He got his uniform for his birthday and is loving Cub Scouts! He is almost finished with his Bobcat requirements. 

 The first week of swimming lessons hasn't been too bad with Gwen. I keep waiting for the day when I have to chase her out of the pool. 

 Tuesday was Story Time for Tessa at the Library. Adam is officially too old for Story Time and Gwen is too young for Tessa's age group. But the Librarian let them all do the craft afterwards. This week was all about Elephants. 

Wednesday afternoon, Adam went to Science Club at the Library and the learned all about magnets. 

 I cannot tell you how many popsicles have already been devoured in our first week of summer! 

 They have spent their evenings playing in the pool and decorating our patio. 

 Nothing like a good water fight with Daddy.

 Thursday afternoon was just a Mommy and Adam day. We went up to Draper to get his pictures taken. We stopped for a shake at In-n-Out and had a fun afternoon together. His pictures tuned out so cute!

 Friday was more swimming lessons, we had a house full of friends over to play and it was National Doughnut Day. We had to swing by the store and pick up some doughnuts to celebrate. It was also Daddy's last official weekend of school!!! Another reason to celebrate!

 Saturday we spent some time going around town and getting Adam and Tessa some of their summer Brag Badges. I love our little city!

Mommy and Adam spent Saturday afternoon building one of his new lego sets he got for his birthday. We also had a graduation party for Uncle Ryan and a birthday party at the Lemley's. So far, it's been a fun and busy summer!

Father and Son Camp Out

Last weekend the boys packed up their camping gear and headed out for an overnight camp out with our ward members and neighbors. This year they camped up Nephi Canyon. The boys came home Saturday afternoon and said that it was so much fun and the campsite was beautiful! 

Adam was so excited to get some alone time with his Daddy after being without him for 2 weeks. They played catch and football, hiked, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, found constellations and had fun just being together.
