Lots a Fun in the Summertime

We went to The Pie for dinner this week with Jeremy's cousin Matt and Carrie and their family. The have some of the best pizza. It was fun. And we even got to swim in their pool afterwards, which the kids loved and we've got to do again soon.



MJ's gymnastics class. She's just hanging from the uneven bars and they help them swing around them. That were my favorite when I was a kid.





MJ being brave jumping off the rope swing at Seven Peaks.



Mason doing the rope swing too.
George did the free fall waterslide, but I didn't get a picture. Next time.



Took the kids to a skate park with a friend. They've been begging to do this since last year.



Mason's pretty cool stuff.



After we got there we read the sign saying no scooters allowed. Oh Well, one time won't hurt.



We took a hike up to Stewart Falls above Sundance. The kids did really well. They loved playing in the water when we got there.



Very pretty views along the way.

So that's what we've been up to lately. Keeping busy that's for sure.

We finally made it to Seven Peaks. The kids had a blast. They couldn't believe that we get to go back as much as we want this summer. And their passes they like to pretend are their drivers license. They thought it was pretty cool to have their pictures on them.

Cute Cousins

My kids had a great time playing with their cousins this weekend. This is a pic of my sisters outfit she made too. Cute girls.

MJ's New Dress

My sister is staying with us this weekend and we decided to teach eachother a craft project. She has gotten into sewing and made a darling shirt and pants for her 2 yr old. She said should could show me how and of course I'm all for that. I chose to make the shirt but turned it into a dress instead. So we went and picked out fabric and chose 4th of July fabric. It turned out so cute. I'm very excited to have learned this pattern, except there was no pattern, you just measure and sew, which is even better. I've always thought I would be a mom to make dresses and outfits for my kids, but until this date I haven't done it. I'm always inspired by Martha Stewart, but never carry it out. So thanks to my sister I finally made MJ a dress. And it won't be the last. It was too easy and it's so dang cute. I'm excited to go back and pick out some fabric to make a summer dress, but that's the hard part is picking out the fabric. Too many cute choices. They have the cutest fabrics these days. She wore it to church today, it's fun to see her wear something I actually made. I'm still in shock I made it. So just wait and see what comes next.

Tulip Bulbs For Sale

I went to Thanksgiving Point today to buy some tulip bulbs. They were $3/dozen. They pull up all their bulbs from their tulip festival every year and sell them to make room for all their annuals. The bulbs are from Holland, so are really good quality and they're only 1 season old. I'm excited, I've never planted bulbs before. Watching my neighbors yards with their bulbs coming up in the spring I decided I wanted to have some for next year. The only thing is you don't know what kind of tulip you're going to get until they come up. So it will be a fun surprise. I ended up only buying 2 dozen. If anyone wants me to go buy them some for their yards let me know. They said you just bring them home and put them in a cardboard box and save them until October and then plant them. The stems and leaves will dry up and snap off before you plant the bulb. I'd like to think I'll be a good gardener someday, I feel it running through my blood.

Our Little Gymnast

MJ's been waiting for this day for a long time, and it finally came. Gymnastics started yesterday. She loved it and did a great job. She gets to do it once a week for the next month and then if she decides she wants to continue then we sign her up again, and I'm sure she will want to. I'm excited for her. The boys have always had their sports that she has to go and watch and now she has her own thing to do.
