kick-off to summer

Soon after school was out, Jaden and Brielle started up swim lessons.  It was an awesome 8-day program and the kids did great!  Brielle became independent in the water and Jaden learned a bunch of new strokes to prepare him for swim team the following year.  I loved watching him do the butterfly.  That is a tricky stroke if you ask me and he rocked it!







Made a little stop at the mall after swim one day.

Memorial Day was a day to reflect and spend time as a family.
 

We met up with our friends, the Naylors, at Riverview Park and had a great time picnicking, playing, and splashing.
 





We hit up Chick-fil-a afterward for some ice cream to top off the day.  Always so fun with the Naylors!

Not sure how I was convinced to make a stache late on that Memorial day, but whatevs;)

Brielle was invited to Laynee's carousel birthday party, and we all had a grand ol' time!


In between carouseling and a visit from our beloved Aunt Tayli, I spent 4 days on the mountain with the youth for Moroni's Quest.  It was amazing and previously documented, here.  When I returned home, my sister-in-law had arrived to visit us for a few days.  


We hit up the water park, ate, chatted, laughed, did a little date night for the three of us.  It was simply lovely and so nice having her here.



We enjoyed some of the summer reading programs the library had to offer.  We learned all about worms and Jaden was brave enough to let this little guy crawl around in his hands!


Favorite part about summer?  Lazy mornings...

and lazy days!:)

gotta have some bright fun cookies while you're at it too


And this has to be one of Landon's favorite hang out spots:)  He just keeps tossing the balls, and then they just roll on back to him.

 We're coming for ya Summer!
