This summer has been non-stop busy so far!!! We have Lagoon passes again and have gone lots, We took the kids to the Drive-In to see Toy Story 3 and LOVED it!!! We went to the Riverdale splash pad and have seen lots of fireworks!!! We went to the fish farm with my family which is an annual tradition and then cooked out and had a fire with s'mores at my moms. We have swam at my moms and put the sprinklers under the trampoline both of which the kids loved.
Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to Bear Lake with all Ryan's family and we stayed at my friend Erin's parents cabin and it was beautiful!!!! The first day we got there we went straight to the beach and the kids had a blast digging in the sand and playing in the shallow water. Ryans sister Haley and her boyfriend Josh bought a boat and Ally went on a ride with her aunts and uncles and fell asleep while Ryan and I were having fun with the wave runners that Ryan's parents rented. Last year Ryan tipped us over and it wasn't easy climbing back on when the water is that cold so I threatened him with his life this year cuz being a big fat pregnant girl would make it even harder to climb back on. Justin and Ally were a little nervous to go on the wave runners at first and had to slowly build up their courage. Justin was too nervous to go on the tube on the boat but Ally had a blast and went back a second time. We ate lots of yummy food, had fun playing ping pong, air hockey and the guys really enjoyed the shuffle board table. Ryan's brother Josh and his wife Amy brought their Wii up and we had fun playing rock band and Just Dance. We even talked the guys into playing one song on Just Dance and it was pretty funny watching Ryan, his dad, brother and Josh dance to Wannabe by the Spice Girls. Ryans mom did her annual Bingo game that the kids (and grownups) look forward to and everyone ended up with tons of prizes. The room that me,Ryan and the kids stayed in was perfect for us cuz it had a bed for me and Ryan right next to bunk beds for the kids which was awesome cuz we just bought some bunk beds for the kids and Ally was really struggling until we broke her in up there while sleeping in the same room with her. Ryan's mom had bought all the girls matching shirts and Justin and Cason matching shirts and gave them all to the kids on the last day so we could take some cute pictures.
The first week back from Bear Lake Justin and his cousin Auzzie started taking swim lessons from a guy in our ward and Justin is doing AWESOME!!! Today he even jumped into the deep end and then did the back stroke all the way back to the shallow end without any help. Ally and I even got in the water so she could splash around for a while and it felt really good and relaxing.
Justins official 6th birthday is tomorrow but we had all our family over on Sunday for cake and Ice cream and PRESENTS!!! My kids get so spoiled from everyone that we hardly have to buy them anything. This year some of Justins favorite presents are his pogo stick, walkie talkies, hot wheels color blaster water changing set (aka mess), roller blades, Crayola glow station and he is anxiously anticipating the butterfly garden that we got that we have to send away for the caterpillars. Ally had so much fun playing will all her cousins and Justins new toys and neither of them wanted the night to end.
We are headed to lagoon again tomorrow for Justins birthday so the kids are very excited about that even though they have been a ton already this year. I got released from the Relief Society presidency after 2 1/2 years and now I am a Bear leader for the cub scouts and really enjoying the change so far. I am about 25 weeks pregnant with another boy and having my targeted ultrasound on Monday so I will post some pics if we can get a good face shot.
