More Summer Stuff.......

Deryk's first swimming lessons. He loved the diving board by the end of lessons!

Maycee swimming across the pool.

Shaylee working on freestyle.


Had lots of fun cousin times this summer. Jake and Kennedi were here for a week full of fun stuff!


Eating at Taco Bell.

Swimming at the city pool.

Deryk's 3rd B-day

Our little Deryk isn't very little any more. He had a fun birthday and loved all his presents. He brings many smiles to my face every day. Example: today I was attempting to rest/take a nap (never happens, but I can try). The phone rang and Deryk quietly opens my door and whispers, "Mommy, the phone is calling!" We are so blessed to have him in our family!


He wanted a football cake. (frosting would not stick to the sides for some reason)

Lots of great helpers when he opened presents.

Cheesy grin!

Blowing out candles.


Playing with his new monster trucks.

Freida Manning Reunion

We had SO much fun at the reunion! Took home lots of amazing memories.


Paddle boat at the pond.




Zip line across the pond. Should have worn a swimsuit. Got wet at and on the end!


Rode horses. Shaylee loves doing this!!


Did a lip sync to "Dig a Little Deeper" from Princess and the Frog. Maycee was Mama Ode, Deryk was Ray the firefly, I was the crocodile, and Josh and Shay were the frogs.


Kids doing some painting and crafts.


Lots of beautiful wildflowers - not good for allergies. :)

Summer so far......

Hard to believe just one more month of summer fun before school starts! Here are some of the things we've been up to so far:

Piano recital. Maycee's first one. They both did great!! She accidentally broke off some flowers that were there and thought it was funny for some reason. :)

Deryk was so excited to finally get his "big boy bed." He has done great with the transition and has never gotten out of bed yet after we tuck him in for the night.



Western Days parade.

Had a ward party where the bishop was voted to kiss the pig. Josh came in second place so he was lucky enough to hold the pig. I think he would have rather kissed the pig than hold it. Very stinky!
