The summer wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the zoo!!
The kids got to walk in the Pioneer Day Parade downtown with out stake. It was a long morning of waiting around in the hot sun and then walking about a half a mile. Lizzy and I watched in the crowd to take pictures. 
Snow cones to help those hot summer days and friends over for play dates.
Mom and Dad came for a weekend visit and we had an amazing time with them! They took the kids to the park on Saturday and there was some kind of free carnival there with all kinds of games and prizes. So the kids all came home with stuffed animals and other fun treasures. It was a fast trip, but we loved having them here!
Trish and I went to see Tim McGraw. It had been so long since I had been to a concert. Tim was amazing!!! Minus the drunk couple in front of us making out the whole time, it was great. Oh, and we couldn’t find out car afterwards, but it was worth it!!
Tons of sprinkler time on the trampoline to help those hot summer days! And this is what I wake up to most mornings…Parker and Biscuit snuggling at the foot of my bed and Parker falling asleep in a lot of odd places.
Parker and Lizzy love playing together. David accidently put on one of Parker’s shirts thinking it was his and Maggie and Lizzy and now sharing a room. Leaving David and Parker with a lot of room for all their toys in their new boys room!
Lots of outside time with all the fun toys. David’s company had a fun night where they rented out the Living Planet Aquarium, so we got to have dinner there and then got to see all the neat stuff they have there!
Too many fireworks and poppers to count. David tried out mowing the lawn and figured out it is hard work!!

Lizzy enjoying the fireworks and Maggie just cheesing for the camera.
It was an incredibly fun and busy summer. 3 weeks in Arkansas and then both of our parents coming out here really took up the majority of the summer and it was amazing!! I loved sleeping in and not having to do anything all day if we didn’t want to. I loved the kids would go play for hours a day in the sprinkler. Thank goodness also for friends in the neighborhood for us to have play time with!! That might have been the biggest life saver for me. We also did some swimming this summer a few times with some friends and family. I tried to do fun things with the kids each week, but also let the have lots of down time. I know I needed it before this school year with 2 of them with homework and tests! I really enjoyed the summer up until about a week ago and I got really sick. The kids also started fighting even more with each other than usual. I think we are all ready for a new schedule and routine. But I know that in a few months I will probably be counting down until next summer vacation!!
