Had me a Blast!

What's better than a big brother?
Two big brothers


 The Fourth of July
The name of the game was to take a folded frozen t-shirt 
and get it to thaw so you could put the shirt on. 
That cold t-shirt felt good in the hot sun...although it was quite cold at first!



We also played water balloon volleyball that turned into a water balloon fight.
We finished up with passing the cup of water over our heads to the next person in a relay race. 
We had a barbecue and finished our 4th with Brian and Shanalea for fireworks at Thanksgiving Point.

Swim lessons
At our house we get in about one session a year of swim lessons. That means 2 weeks Monday through Thursday we hang at the pool for an hour. My boys did pretty well this year. 
 My big kid made it through starfish swim school & on to the first course of stroke school!

My 4-year-old took his first session & did well, but still has a few skills to work on. 

It's so nice to have a best friend who attends swim lessons with you & hangs out with you while the younger kids have swim class.

We've had some crazy awesome storms this summer!
 I love looking at those awesome clouds!


We had a blast at the zoo!
Our "favorite" giraffes. 
(as Cort would say)

Braxton needed a little help with the scary dinosaur.


We always love catching the bird show at the zoo!




Braxton's favorite animal...The WOLF!





We had an awesome garden this year.
It's made me happy to look out the kitchen window and see all the green!

We are sure enjoying our roly poly little baby boy Marshal!
