Summer's Almost gone...what have we been up to?

It's hard to believe that the kids go back to school on Monday! Where in the World did summer go?? I've been so busy with my new digi scrappin' business and blog that I've been a slacker at keeping up on this blog...so today, you're going to get it all in a nutshell...luck you! :)

In July the kids and I headed South (LaVerkin...near St. George) for a visit with Grandpa Russ and Grandma Lisa! It was SO hot...105 degrees. So, Grandma headed to Walmart and snagged up their very last swimming pool! We set it up in the back yard, Grandpa got his portable shade canopy to put over it, and the kids had a blast cooling off! They even tried to put Lily in...but she would have none of that!


And then...grandpa had the brilliant :) idea to take the huge goldfish out of his pond and put them in the pool...
...and the kids GOT IN WITH THEM!!! (Hear Karlee is petting the fish)

And then, Grandpa decided that it was too hot for him also...so he got in with the kids! Isn't this a great picture?





A few days (or week...I don't remember) after getting home, I'm right in the middle of a speed scrap (see my scrappin' blog) and Lily starts freaking out, climbing up my leg, basically going crazy. Well I look down and realize that she has been bit or stung by something! Poor baby! The vet had me give her Benydryl...and then she slept for a few hours...check out her swollen nose...
Towards the end of July, we had a neighborhood party/BBQ at the local Drive-in. Trent was in Orland for work, so I took the kids. I ended up taking Carson home after only about an hour because there were wasps flying around and he was freaking out! Luckily we have great friends/neighbors, and Karlee was able to stay with them and see the movies. The movies were "Ice Age 3" and "Night at the Museum 2".

Lets see...we also spent lots of time at the local pool! We bought a season pass at the beginning of the summer and definitely put it to good use! The kids LOVE going to the pool...they are both fish!

Karlee going off the diving board!

We bought Carson a life jacket because he has NO FEAR!
Well, that's it for now...I'm sure there will be more things that I think of...just wanted to make sure I document...for future generations and all...:)

What fun pictures, Tracy! I know, it seems like summer flew by. Your garden produce was amazing from your last post...what did you ever find out about them? And, I laughed so hard at the story about Carson on your front porch...boys!!
