Summer Update

Here are some of the things we've done since I stopped blogging :) We built a sandbox in the backyard, which we have spent MANY hours in this summer.We took a trip to St. George for Steve's B-day in April. This picture is one of the lizards that we caught. We also went swimming, hiking and played at parks. Somehow I only have a picture of the lizards. We took a trip to Cedar City in May to see Steve's sister graduate. This is what Ethan spent his time doing during the convocation. After Melanie graduated we took a girls trip to California. No kids... that was a weird but wonderful experience for me. This is me outside of the Newport Beach Temple. We went to Disneyland and the Beach also. It was a great trip. We went fishing with friends on Deer Creek. This was both of the kid's first time on a motor boat. Chloe liked it (minus the life jacket). Ethan did not like it. We went to the Strawberry Days rodeo and had a great time. My favorite is always the Mutton Bustin'. In June we took a trip to Bear Lake for the Davis Family Reunion. We had loads of fun on the beach, in the pool, four wheeling and just hanging out. For the Fourth we went up to Tower and Grandma and Grandpa rented a side-by-side so that we could take the kids with us. Ethan LOVED it and Chloe liked it once she got used to the idea. For her it was just another drive in the car seat, but much more bumpy. We have also been doing lots of swimming at the pool and in our yard and at the ranch and in Salem Pond. I don't happen to have any pictures of these things because me+camera+water=disaster. Maybe I'll update again when it's fall and I get the camera out again.:)
