Summer Fun

We have been home a good deal of the summer and it has been really nice to not have to worry about traveling...although we have really missed seeing our families. The kids and I go swimming 2-3 times a week. It has been a great way to survive the summer heat. I must say that the VERY BEST part of the summer is having Jared home!!! We sure love spending time with DAD!!!

Our niece Austyn showing us some of her gymnastic skills

Austyn, Cameron and Ethan are apparently getting ready for the 4th of July...

Ethan and Cameron love painting with water colors. While Ethan was painting he kept saying, "Ugh, seriously!" when he got frustrated. I must say that when I get frustrated...whooops. :)

We have also been putting our ice cream maker to good use this summer. 

Ethan loves to help with projects like this. 

Cameron loves to eat the product of projects like this...

We went to San Tan Flat while Jared's little sister, Jenna, was in town last week.
We did our FHE lesson and roasted marshmallows. Our family loves San Tan Flat!

Jenna, Jared and Jessica...dancing...

On Friday we made a waterslide and it was a huge hit! Ethan has been asking for it every day since.
We will be doing this one again for sure. 

HAPPY SUMMER!
