{Swimmin fool }

Ayden has been my more timid child where water is concerned. But this year he has become really brave and is doing a great job! Here is a video of him swimming at Cherry hill.
  (note: I took this video with my iphone so the filming is a bit crazy.)


{ A brave soul . . . }

Our little Sophie is a brave little soul. She LOVES to go off the diving board! This was the one of the first couple times she realized this new found love. Now she is a pro! Every time we go swimming the first thing she goes for is the diving board.



Then she found a new love when we went to Murray water park. They have this huge slide and after I took her down it once she decided she wanted to go alone. She then proceeded to go up the stairs and down the slide about 30 more times that day. I told her wait in line, but she wouldn't listen. So she would slide down, swim to the edge, climb up the stairs, cut in front of everyone, and slide down again. It was the funniest thing to watch and I think everyone kept letting her do it because she's so cute!



Here's a full shot of how big the slide was . . .

{In times like these . . .}

In times like these, when you are so far behind on your blogging, it's hard to find a starting point. I decided to start by going through the pictures of the things we've done over the past couple of months.

My kids are at such fun ages right now. It's become less and less painful to leave the house with them. (for a while there, we only left if our lives depended on it) The love to go anywhere and everywhere together.

So far this summer, we have spent most of our time swimming. The kids love it, and lets face it . . . we know this Momma loves the sun. We got Cherry Hill passes again this year and it has been so much fun for us. Last year we would go for a couple of hours max, before someone started complaining, or needed a nap, but every time we go this year they want to stay for hours and I end up being the one complaining who needs a nap. They LOVE to swim and they play so cute together when we are there.

I found some really cute pictures from when we took them miniature golfing for the first time. They got the hang of it really quickly and it was so fun to watch . . .






In May, Logan and I went with our friends Crystal and Chris Armstrong, to see Flight of the Conchords as Abrovanal Hall. It was an absolute riot! A funny night I will never forget!



A few weeks later we went with another group of friends to see Joel Mcale. It was another totally funny night! He is hilarious!

These next pictures I hadn't seen before, and when I found them on the camera, I just had to post them. This gives you a clear picture of what kind of dad Logan is. While Sophie and I were sleeping one Sunday afternoon, this is how they filled their time . . .



{Seriously, how can you not love these guys}

We have been having a crazy fun summer and I know there's only more fun this to come!
