Summertime Fun in June!

I didn't take pictures in June until 1/2 way through the month because the first part of the month was spent still trying to get unpacked and settled. We are still working on that, but trying to also get out and enjoy the summertime! The kids have been so content to be back in our house with more room to play.

One day I walked in and found them both in the toy bucket being silly.

Here is Hoyt at 13 months enjoying his own Gogurt. He really just wants to eat whatever I am eating, so when I make something for myself to eat I have to make sure there is enough for both of us.

Lexie is the queen of crazy sleeping (she gets it from both parents). We had the rocking chair in her room for a while and some nights she would play and read books in the chair until she just passed out.

One of Lexie's favorite things to do is go to the park. She loves to swing and slide, and slide, and did I mention slide? This particular day she was trying going down backwards. She would stay and play all day if we let her. This park is right next to the library, so we've been having fun going and finding books like "Clifford the Big Red Dog" which is also her favorite PBS show right now.

Hoyt likes to ride in the stroller and observe all the kids playing. But I know he really just wants to get out, get dirty and crawl around.

This is the only picture I got on Father's Day. Lexie was so excited to give Bryan his card and chocolate. The first thing she said was "You are going to share your chocolate with me, right Daddy?" Bryan is a great Dad to our kids and I'm grateful for all he does for our family. I didn't get a picture, but we also got Bryan an office chair so he could be more comfortable while working from home.

We have also gone swimming a few times this summer, but I haven't gotten pictures anywhere except the Kanab pool when we went to an extended family FHE. We have also been to the new Acquatic Center in Cedar and we're excited to be able to go year round since it's indoors. I know this might sound funny, but the most fun we had swimming was at the Orderville pool. They don't allow any floating toys in the Cedar pool, so in the small town pool we could use a little boat for Hoyt and he just absolutely loved hanging out in the pool just floating around. Lexie also had a lot of fun.

Here is Hoyt and Bry enjoying the water.

Lexie had fun playing with my cousin's daughter Ta'Kara who also shared her floaty tube. Lexie loves the water, but does NOT like water to get in her face.

She was a little scared, but got brave and went down the pool slide.

We've gone to several parks around town and both kids enjoy just being outside and having fun in the warm weather. It seems like it was a long winter and now we just want to be out having fun!

It's also nice having Bryan's work schedule be so flexible so we can go out and do things during the day if we want, then he will work a few hours in the evenings on those days.

Even though the parks are fun, it will be nice to get our yard done so there will be a place for the kids to run around and play right out the door. We are hoping to get that done while it's still nice.
