Oh What do We Do in the Summer Time?

We play football with Daddy...

And go to parades...

• 4th of July in Centerville where we saw Captain America and got TONS of candy
• Pioneer Day in Bountiful where we saw the Stripling Warriors marching, there were close to 2200.  It was AMAZING!
• Atomic Days in Arco where we got lots more candy and saw Daddy on his class float.

Ride a motorcycle with Uncle Ray...

We swim in the pool, to keep ourselves cool...

• Si was in Level 2 of swim lessons and turned into quite the little fish.  He is getting really good at swimming with the help of his teacher and having his face under water.  He is pretty fearless in the pool these days.  He is now taking Level 3.
• Logan was in Level 1 and had a really hard first day of class realizing that Mom and Dad would not be in the pool with him.  He cried the entire time.  Some bribery and he made it through day number two with some smiles.  By day three he loved it and also is turning into quite the little fish, sticking his face under water without plugging his nose and jumping off the side into our arms.  He is now taking Level 2.
• Several times after swimming lessons, we have stayed and swam with the boys for a few hours.  They sure love playing on the pirate ship outside, and going down the big yellow slide with Daddy.

We play at the farm...

• In July we FINALLY made it to the farm.  Tyrel had his 10 year class reunion which included the float in the parade and a picnic lunch where we could visit with his classmates and meet their kids.
• The boys had SO much fun playing with cousins, uncles and aunts, and of course with Momma and Pappa King.
• The big boys had quite an epic water fight, which resulted in Tyrel getting pinned down and having a hose shoved up his pants :)
• And to end it, the boys went fishing for their first time with Daddy.  Luckily Daddy caught a fish at the start so they could at least catch the excitement of "getting a fish".  They both were very jumpy though and didn't want to get very near that wiggly fish.  They used the same Snoopy pole that Tyrel used when he was a boy.

And the latest thing we do in the summer time...

                           is get ready for our LITTLE GIRL!

• We are SO excited for a girl to be coming to our family in December!  The boys can't stop talking about how cool it's going to be to have a little sister.  Tyrel already knows and happily plans on her being wrapped around his finger.  And me, I won't even start to name all the things I'm excited about!  
• My Tia Ery gave me a cute doggie purse that she was getting rid of.  She said that it was for the next baby girl in the family, if mine wasn't a girl, I'd pass it on to the next niece having a baby.  Well that doggie bag is staying right here and I've been going through the hand-me-down clothes that I've been given...it's time to add some pink to this place :)
