Summer

Once again summer is here and it is hot!! We are in the pool almost every afternoon. The outside temperature is in the triple digits and the pool an awesome 93-94 degrees. We are all slowly turning a toasty brown. Westin (4) is another self-taught swimmer. He jumps off the waterfall into the pool and swims in the 5 foot area of the pool. He doesn't feel confident enough yet to swim in the deepest part of the pool. Braeden (6) taught himself to swim a couple years ago and this year entertains us with flips and almost dives into the pool, mostly bellyflops. His favorite thing to do is front and back flips into the pool. We love taking pictures of the kids jumping or diving into the water, you never know how the shot will turn out.

Hope you all have a fun and happy summer!

4th of July Weekend

For 4th of July weekend we drove out to Bryce Canyon, Utah and stayed with family. We sat around a campfire, ran through the streets of the small country town playing Fugitive late into the night. We enjoyed a holiday carnival. We went hiking (or rather walking) to Mossy Cave and played in the frigid mountain water. The kids played at the park and out in the yard all day long. Thank you Mike and Traci for tolerating us.
