A few fun things.

    This is what happens after tent city, crash nap!

    Father's Day was a success. Charlie insisted on wrapping this traffic cone for Greg and between the two of them you just might think it was exactly what he wanted. What he really requested was the bluetooth headphones. We all think Greg is pretty awesome and about the best Dad these kids could ask for.

Seriously, I love how happy they are in this photo!

    Having Aunt Missa here with her family has been an added bonus to our summer festivities. This was how the cousins spent Sunday evening. I think they found about 3 or 4 different ways to wear these sarongs and they all had to follow trend so a few aunts and uncles became experts in wrapping and tying them on all the kids. (And if you're wondering where all these colorful sarongs came from, it's a bit of a long story, but Melissa and Garrett are selling them so they had more than a few for the kids to play with.)

These photos are going to be so fun to recreate in about 10 years.

    There's nothing better then a summer rainstorm with lightening and thunder. These kids were all too happy to run through the rain and play in the gutters for the short time that it lasted.

Brock, Carter, Charlie and McClane stopping long enough for a quick photo.

      This girl keeps insisting on painting her face every time she goes to the neighbors house. Thankfully it washes off easily.

     Thursday was another fun activity with aunts, uncles and cousins. We spent the better part of Thursday afternoon and evening at the Payson pool and had a blast.

Food, swimming and silliness makes for the best time!

Ending the evening with a group drenching.

Charlie found out she's just tall enough to touch and bounce through the lazy river this summer with a little help from her life vest and mom, of course.

     And of course Greg was unable to join us for our swimming fun so he spent some quality time with 'Big Baby' after work. She seems more interested in the cellphone, which is pretty typical of all kids, right?

     Tonight we're ending the week with a neighborhood movie in the backyard. We're planning on watching "Moana". We'll see how many people show up since the announcement was made in the ward relief society email. We'll either get no one or more than ever before. No problem either way, I'm just glad we had a fun week over all and survived another week of summer. Oh, and if you didn't see Kayli's recent Facebook/Instagram posts she and Tanner had their engagement photos taken so we're still moving forward with all the wedding plans. I occasionally feel a little anxiety when I think of all that still has to happen in just a few short weeks but I'm trying not too panic!
