Official first 2 weeks of summer!
I caught Scott and Hailey lounging on the patio playing "I spy" on a nice warm day. That's what summer is all about right? Love it!
We have also been doing swim lessons! Scott, Hailey and Ari have been. Jay joins in at the end when we go outside. His first time in the pool was June 4th
Take a close look at the wreath on my front door. It even took me a while to notice, then one day I was coming in and did a double take! This is one of 2 Robin's nests we have! This one has 3 eggs in it and every time someone comes to the door the mommy goes crazy flapping around lol. The other one is in the shed Kevin is building and those ones hatched. Scott keeps saying, "Can I pleeeeease go see! They are just soooooo cute! They are all snuggled so close and soooo cute" lol
Speaking of Scott- he got some new digs! He went in for a checkup in May and what do ya know, the boy failed the eye test so we took him into see the eye doc. He had perfect 20/20 vision last year, and this year he is extremely near sighted and has a astigmatism. I said, "Scott why didn't you say something!?" He was like, "Well I can see just fine! It's just blurry!" Even when the eye doc said, "Can you see this line?" He'd say, "Yup!" and confidently name all the wrong letters. lol When he got them on the first day he just laughed and laughed because he couldn't believe all the things he could see!
Last Saturday they had "Free Fishing Day" and had a fishing festival at the park. It was soooo much fun! We even took the canoe out to first dam that night, but no luck catching fish.
The kids got a bag with a map on it and went around to all the different stations and got a stamp. So like for the fly tying station they had to make their own fly to get a stamp. It was just a blast! If they got a stamp from ALL the stations they got a free t-shirt. They were so close and we only had an hour before it was over, so I ran with Ari and Jay to get some lunch while Kevin finished up the last few obstacles. Worth it for sure though.
Rubber fish paint rubbings
A little screech owl. :)
Face paintings of course (with chip lips to boot)
Our typical day has been: get up and go to swim lessons, hang out afterwards and swim til about noon, come home and eat lunch outside, play out in our new swing set go for nature walks, ride our bikes or go to the library. Every night I throw a blanket down out in the backyard and we just play or read books.
We also had a really quick visit from Grammy Wednesday-Friday last week. She got to go with us to the absolutely CRAZY opening social at the library for the reading program. Just picture 10 bounce houses and ALL the children of Utah crammed in. Grammy was a great sport for a crazy day! lol But of course the kids loved it.
Jay is so close to crawling! He gets up now and rocks back and forth on his hands and knees. He's also getting really good at feeding himself too!
MUCH progress on sleeping too! He has been sleeping from about 7:30 until 3 or 4 am now- hurrah!
