I love Summer

We have been trying to do as much fun stuff as possible this summer.  I love having no homework, no schedule and being able to play all day.   

What would summer be without some camping 

and hiking too. We went to some natural hot spring and what fun.  The water was very warm just the right way to relax after a 2 1/2 mile hike.   

we also went to Mount Timpanogos cave.  Jensen and Siesa both completed their junior rangers badges.  

Siesa and Elsie have been taking gymnastics.  Thanks to DI my girls even look official 

We went to learn about birds at the tracy aviary.   

Just plain fun.  I love my kids and summer.
The best part we still have over a month left to party! 

Bike Riding Girl

Siesa learned to ride a bicycle last week.  We have a balance bike (a small bike with no pedals) that she has been playing on.  She was getting good and would get going down the hill fast and pick her feet up and could coast past a few houses.  I told her that I was taking off her training wheels on her real bike and I was sure she would be able to ride it.  She was a little nervous and told me not to let go of her when she got on.  She got on and took off with out any problems.  I started to laugh and ran beside her showing her that she didn’t need any help. We were both shocked at how well she did

She can’t get enough of her bike and rides it all the time. 

She is so small and her bike is tiny I love watching her ride it.  Yeah for balance bikes the best way (I think) there is to teach kids how to ride a bike with out any work.         

Easter Sunday

Not the best picture but this is what I get when I try to take a picture.  Jensen does not like them and Siesa was not very happy about going to church or getting her picture taken but I am sure you can tell that from her face. 

Jensen has been asking for a white shirt and brown pants for a while.  He was very excited to get them in his Easter basket.  He was also very happy to look just like his Dad.  What handsome men!
