Our summer has been quite a riot with Ethan being way more energetic and mobile. It doesn't help that I have been pregnant this summer, but it has kept me very active and I probably have received a better tan this year than in years past, what with all the time we have spent outside. But, here are just a few snapshots of our summer. We have had a memorable one...to say the least!
This year was kind of a bitter-sweet summer for Mike's family, because Grandpa participated in his last parade as a fireman. So, we woke up really early on July 3rd and got Ethan and Mike to ride on a Fire truck. This picture was of Ethan after the parade was over, he thought that this police car/atv was the coolest thing he could get his hands on. So, hopefully we don't produce criminals...but he really liked this. We would be proud to have a police officer as a son!
Here is the pictures of the kids on the ladder truck. It was quite fun to see them up here. Ethan was just awe-struck! It was pretty fun...even if it was a 7 a.m.
This year, we found a great invention for toddlers and mommies... Squirt Parks. They are wonderful! We spent quite a few hot days here at the park in Riverton with my mom and Ethan running through the sprinklers. The water was always so cold, so it took him just a few minutes to get used to it. But after that, he enjoyed every minute!
We took Ethan to the Zoo for the first time in his life. I think as he gets older, we will be spending more time there, but he really enjoyed the Zoo. More so for the running that he was able to get in and the merry-go-round. He really loved this!
And, don't think that we spent all summer just playing. Yes, with a house, we have had to do some work outside. I have been very impressed with all the work that we were able to accomplish with our yard this year. Here is the cutest picture of Ethan and Grandpa Cluff out mowing the lawn. And yes, our sidewalks and driveway has never looked better.
rday mornings...
This is Ethan at the Fat Cats arcade. He loves helicopters! So, he just HAD to ride this ride.
Here we are riding the trolley up in Ogden. It was free and the driver was very helpful. We thought this was the most awesome idea. Salt Lake could learn alot from Ogden!
Here are the kids on the Frontrunner! They loved the fact they could color and play while being on a train. The boys spent most of the time looking out the window.
Here she is...this is just at 2 weeks old.
More home photos!
Our cute little family. How blessed we are!
