Playing with friends...
Carson and Jaxon Adams. Carson absolutely LOVES Jaxon! He kept going over to his house without my permission - Amber would call me to tell me that he had shown up on her doorstep again - I have a hard time keeping track of this boy!
Having sleepovers at Grandma Fullmer's! The cousins all love to sleep at Grandma's. She spoils them with s'mores after dinner (usually pizza or hot dogs roasted over the fire pit) and S.O.S for breakfast (their favorite!)
Enjoying the bounties of my garden...yes, these are radishes! We've also been enjoying lettuce, spinach and peas (uummm peas...my favorite!)
Continuing to try and get Lily potty-trained! What was I thinking...potty training is a mother's worst night-mare! But, seriously, we sure love our little Lily!
Playing with friends! The kids are totally happy if they can play ALL day! Forget movies, the park, shopping, etc...they just want to be home playing with their friends! In this picture is Jessica Gwynn...isn't she just a doll?
Mother/daughter activity for Karlee's Activity Days. They were recognized for all of the goal that they have passed off in the last 6 months! Such a fun activity!
Swimming at the pool - after friends...the kids' second love! We bought a pass to the Stansbury Pool this year and have loved being able to go and enjoy the sunshine and hot weather! The first 2 weeks after the kids got out of school, we had constant rain and we wondered if we were ever going to be able to enjoy our swim pass - but alas, the rain finally stopped and now it is as dry and hot as ever!
Carson, my social child, has enjoyed making lots of new friends at the pool. He usually just sees them the one time...but they play in the pool for hours and become fast friends...and then the next time we go to the pool, there's always someone new to meet!
The 4th of July is always fun...with our traditional BBQ at Grandma Fullmer's and then fireworks in our front yard!
I don't know who loves doing fireworks more...daddy or the kids!!!
Karlee and Samantha at Grandma Fullmer's house during the BBQ...
On July 3rd, we had our first annual block party. Put together and organized by Janel and Jason Sojl. (They live 2 doors down). We had a great turnout and had so much fun visiting with each other. We met down at the park (at the end of our street) and BBQ'd burgers, hot dogs and had lots of pot luck salad and desserts!
And just enjoying and adjusting to the new addition to our family...our sweet Lily! I have nick named her Marley (have you seen "Marley and Me"? Well, she is a miniature Marley...she is a stinker...a thief and a collector of "souvenirs" during our walks!
Also, have you noticed all of the fabulous (if I say so myself) scrapbook pages? I've been busy this summer designing digital scrapbook kits and getting them put into my store. It's my new hobby/job and I love it! I started digi-scrapping about a year ago, and then this past February, I took an online designing class and fell in love with creating and designing my own kits. I then was accepted to be a designer in a store and have been going crazy designing ever since! I haven't made a whole lot of money yet...but I'm sure having fun...and I love having others love my work! Check out my scrappin' blog here and my store here. (My designer name is "growing pains scrapped"
Well, that's the scoop for now...more later! (I have to recover from writing this LONG post!)
