Summer...Round 2...July!

July was a whirlwind!  Fun, Sun, Family and Friends.  We are blessed.  Let me share just how blessed we are.

It wasn't as hot in July as it was in June, but there were plenty of days that felt good to just sit in the kiddie pool.

Leah was kept pretty busy with all the activities that Sarah had planned.  If she had any spare time, you would surely have seen her with her "sister", Margot.

These two are best friends.

We had Summer visitors. Uncle Bill and Aunt Susan visited from Colorado, and Mom returned home with Grandma after the first leg of their "Wrinkle Tour 2015".

Maybe this is the key to living a long and healthy life.  My Grandma is going to be 91 this year, but she always takes time to stop and smell the roses.

Sarah and Dax enjoyed a fun day at the gardens with Grandma, Uncle Bill, Aunt Susan, Aunt Lyn, Uncle Ray and Mom.

Sarah always has fun with the kids.  Every now and again, I like to check the pictures on her phone because there is always some cute photos of them with her.

We went to the Scottish games.  We were all wearing our Scottish gear, but the only picture I can find is this one of Dax.

This kid cracks me up.

Leah enrolled in a two week dance camp through the city rec center.  This was her performance day.  We didn't get good pictures or video.  :(

As mentioned before, we are happy Grandma Leslie has finally returned.  We missed her these last two months.  As a bonus, she brought Grandmama with her!  Even better news is that they are buying a home together in American Fork so they will both be with us for a long time.  :)

This kid loves lollipops, or as he calls them, "Be-Bops".  He has learned where they are kept and is often found enjoying a "be-bop" without permission...or sometimes two!

One of the things Mom has done to keep her kids busy this Summer is Trafalga Fun Center.  Here is Sarah and Dax on a ride.  He's only 2, but he's always looked older than he is.  I think he looks a little like my Dad here.

I don't know the story  here, but surely somebody told him "no" to something.

Another favorite activity this Summer has been the museums at Thanksgiving Point with the cousins.

I challenge anybody to find me a more cute and smart little girl.  What a princess.  Daddy's Lil' Girl.

Leah seconds before leaping into the pool...in theory.  Ultimately she found the side of the pool and the grass.

I love my kids, but they are like monkeys at the dinner table.

Leah has enjoyed taking care of Chico and Summer this Summer.  Thanks, Sherilyn and Mr. Mike Shelley!

Trafalga!

Trafalga on Jakes Special Day of Fun!

I had six friends visit me this month by way of my kidney.  6 spiny little jagged rocks.

She's such a happy and fun girl.  Always full of energy.  Rarely stopping.  Always making me smile.

Of course we did a lot of swimming.

Leah has gotten good at swimming.  She can jump off the high dive and swim in the deep end (12 ft) without floaties.
