2 More Before the Big One

The Lincoln Lawyer.  I LOVED this book.  It had so many twists and turns and kept me interested from start to finish.  I love reading books about lawyers and stuff like that.  Michael Connelly is (based on this one book) as good as Grisham.

Jayhawk.  I previously read another of Keddington’s books, Return to Red Castle.  I liked this one more.  It seemed to have a lot more action and less description of the scenery (though there was still that).  Of course, it had a cute love story as well!!

I will now begin on reading the Book of Mormon in 40 days.  I actually have already reached my goal of 52 books.  I am in the middle of a series now, but still wanted to read the Book of Mormon.

Swim Lessons 2011, Week 2

The kids finished up their swim lessons this week.  They both did such a good job and had tons of fun!  They especially enjoyed the last day of going down the slide.  They didn’t care for jumping off the diving board, but both did it once.

Learning, learning, learning…

Fun, fun, fun…

Pioneer Day 2011

There was yummy food.  At least everyone looked happy while eating!

There was swimming, with lots of tricks.  Ty was especially brave in his jumping!!

Nick showed off his trampoline skills.

Finally, fireworks!!  The kids loved having turns lighting fireworks and throwing Bloom Flowers.

He Grew, And He Grew…

… And He Grew!!!  Year five of our tradition has come and gone.  Here is Dylan, now 5-years-old, on the slide at Payson Park.

Nana’s Shirt

Last night when we left my parents’, we had no clean clothes for the kids, so we put them in a t-shirt of my mom’s.  They thought it was so fun.  Dylan kept smelling the shirt and saying, “It smells like Nana!”  Avery has been wearing hers ever since, with the exception of going to church.
