Summer! FINALY!!!

Summer has finally peeked out of it's long slumber and shown us what summer can be like. Now if it will just stay awake and not slip back in bed like I do certain mornings. We have taken advantage of my decision to be a stay at home mom to it's fullest! I am truly enjoying being home and watching my kids grow up. I try not to dwell on the past and all the things I missed while I worked and instead enjoy seeing my little babes learning and growing everyday. I can't believe Lincoln will be in kindergarten in the fall. He will miss pre-school but can't wait for "real" school as he calls it.
A few of the things we have been able to do include:

1. Making many projects. (felt puppets, tents, etc.)

2. Painting bird houses. (who knew a $1 bird house could bring so much joy!)

3. Nursing animals back to health (gotta love those baby goats)

(Kim and her kids came to play for the day!)

4. Exploring the yard. (who knew there was so many lady bugs in our yard!)

5. Spending time with friends!

6. Visiting the library!

7. Riding our pony!

8. Learning new games. (Frisbee, kickball, and even made up a few!)

9. Playing in the water!

10. Planting flowers and the garden

11. Going to the Hogle Zoo in Salt lake!

12. The kid's first 3 hour car ride

13. Branding cows (working with daddy is always so fun!)

We love summer! Now let's have some more!!
