Bear Lakin with the Bush's...

This year we planned out a few activities a little more than we have done in the past.
We have always done my Mom and Dad's Traditional Treasure Hunt which the kids LOVE! This year we added a Bushnar which is our version of a Ragnar. Rachel was in charge of that and it was Awesome!  We divided into teams and each person had to run around the sidewalks of our condo area.
We all loved it. We also did our Tennis Tournament that I was running and
Amber did our homemade ice cream! Lizzy made our schedule for the week on a really cute poster.
We all had a great time!

Lucy's Birthday...

The girls birthday's are in may and july but I felt that I didn't really post about it and I thought I would just post some pics. So I didn't feel like I skipped posting altogether.

Dailey's Birthday...

Summer Catch up in pics...

                                          Lucy turned 2 back in May. She had a Dora cake.

 The first week of June it was the Father and Son's Campout and so Grandpa, Ethan, Cole, and Kev went to our Stake property.

                                            This boy Loves to camp and come home dirty.

                                        We went to a Bee's Game on a nice June Summer night.

                                         This is waiting for Fireworks on the 4th of July.

                                     We took the kids to Stake Lagoon Day and they Loved it!!!

 The kids have loved playing on the tramp all summer long. They do the classic sprinkler under the tramp and it has kept them entertained for hours.

 Wheeler Farm with the Dearden's!  I think this is back in June when Lorrie came to visit.

 We got this lemonade stand from a garage sale. It kept blowing over on a windy day so the kids put their bikes in front to stop it from tipping. There customers were Dad and Grandpa after they came home from work.

                                                             Dearden Boys!

          Cole has played a lot with his two buddies from school. This is a pic of Cole at his friends house.

We went and ate at The Pie for dinner on Dailey's birthday. Before dinner we actually grabbed cupcakes and ate them. Kind of fun! After we came out and their is a big fountain and we saw a kids swimming in it. We thought wow, what is that kid doing. Than we saw no signs posted and a wading are so we went for it too. Our kids got completely in the water and we got in two our knees.
Than we came home for our ward carnival that Dailey was pretty excited it was on her birthday!

Here it is The End of Summer...

Here it is the end of summer and I haven't even posted anything all summer long.
I am a bit sad that it has just blown right by. However we still have a few weeks left so I am bound to make them GREAT! And pack them with fun and full of memories for my little family.

Cole will be heading off to 1st Grade and I am filled with mixed emotions about that. I have really LOVED having all my little ones to myself. Even with Kindergarten I felt I still got to spend quite a bit of time.
Miss Dailey will be heading off to Preschool. She is so social and fun she will do great! But Oh I have really loved this time in my life.
Don't get me wrong I am super excited for whats to come!!!

But for now I better head off and pack for BEAR LAKE with THE BUSHES!!!!

Cole and the Batting Cages...

This is Cole's second season in Baseball and these Baseball people take it serious. His Coach has had the team at the batting cages twice. The first time he went the balls were coming in pretty fast and Cole got hit by a ball. He came home with a pretty good bruise.
The next time they held practice there Cole Did Not want to go. He was afraid he was going to get hit again. Well we made him go. After practice Cole and I were driving home and he said "Mom guess what? I said a prayer that I wouldn't get hit by the ball and I Didn't"!
I thought that was so great that he could know that he could pray and Heavenly Father would help him.
