So far this summer. . .

This first picture says it all.  We have had a really busy summer so far and everyone is pretty much pooped.  This was taken right after swim lessons one morning.  The poor girl just couldn't handle it anymore.

 We did a session of swim lessons.  All the kids including Malia (she was in a parent/tot class with me) had a blast.  My kids are little fish.  I wish I could take them swimming every day, cuz they literally would live in the pool if they could.  Here's Malia with Randy (this was the only day he was able to come hence the pictures, I wouldn't have gotten any if didn't come).  Malia was having an off day. She wouldn't do anything for her daddy.

This is how we always found Micah, underwater.  We put him in a level 2, even though he technically is too young for this level, he was suppose to be 6 before getting out of the preschool levels, but he's too good so I fudged and put him in a regular level.  He did awesome.

As you can see.

Morgan was in level 3 and she is a sinker.  She's got some serious muscle on her which is awesome, but it makes it difficult for her to keep her body on top of the water.  She doesn't mind though, she still loves it.

McKenzie passed level 4 and has an amazing backstroke.  I think it is time to get her on the swim team.  She doesn't agree, but I know she will have a blast.

Oh and I almost forgot how much fun Malia had with sunscreen the last 2 weeks.  She figured she was big enough to do it herself and this is what I found.  This was also before the sunscreen got into her eyes and she cried for the next hour till the pool water rinsed it out.

Some other fun we had was going to Lagoon with my brother Billy and his family.  We have season passes but Billy's company bought their employees day passes and we decided to tag along with them to let them ride some rides.  The kids had a lot of fun with Ki-Ki (that's Malia's way of saying Kirsten)  She wasn't too enthused with the goggles.

But boy did they have some fun.

We also "helped" my in laws use some of their timeshare week up in Park City.  They weren't able to use the whole week so they let us use as much as we could.  They even came and watch the kids for a night so we could go up by ourselves.  We spent 3 of those nights up there, swimming for hours on end, eating ice cream and watching movies. 

Thanx for the fun time Grandma and Grandpa.

Right after school got out the kids started their different sports camps. I was a loser and forgot to take any pictures of my kids doing anything remotely productive, but my friend who's always more on the ball than me got shots of the kids, since her kids were in the same things mine were in, conveniently. (Thanx Michelle)McKenzie really wants to learn how to play tennis and we found this camp that was during soccer camp 2 days of the week, but since Michelle was doing it also, one of us went to tennis and the other soccer, see how smart we are.  McKenzie had a lot of fun.  I see some potential in her.  I hope that she will keep it up.

Morgan and Micah had soccer camp 2 days a week for the month of June.  They both got to be with a lot of their friends.  Next season should be great since all of their friends will be on their team.  Can't wait.

Micah loves soccer.  He told Randy that he wants to play soccer on TV like they did for the world cup.  Dream big buddy.

Some other things we were able to do that I didn't get shots of  was we went camping with some friends up in the mountains.  Like really camping.  No water, no potties, just being one with nature.  We need to do it more often cuz the kids were just out of sorts.  The girls still can't squat and they just couldn't figure out why we weren't at home.  Sad hu.  Even though it rained and thundered for some of the night, we stayed dry, somewhat warm and had a good time. 

We also got to spend an afternoon with the Jackson kids again.  Amie, my friend that used to live down the street, cam up from St. George to visit her family and gave me a call.  We went and fed the ducks at a park and just hung out for an afternoon.  It was great seeing them again.

 It was also the day of opening of "Eclipse," which of course I went to with the gang.  My friends mom bought out a theater again.  We went to Cafe Rio for dinner and went to the movie up in South Jordan.  I went up with Michelle who was a great chauffeur.  She had "New Moon" playing on her DVD player, offered us Edward and Jacob tattoos, even had complimentary waters for us if we needed, lol.  I brought my SIL's along with me, who live pretty close to the theater we went to.  All in all it was a fun, enjoyable evening, except for the girl who tried to take my seat which was assigned.  It was a good try, but she lost.

I'm sure there is more I am missing, (other than the 4th of July which will be another post).  I am glad things have calmed down quite a bit, not that it's over.  It's nice to finally have a lazy day, as lazy as it can get with 4 kids out of school.
