Who Doesn't Love Summer?

It's been such a great summer so far. For one, the warm weather! It makes everything so happy! Not being pregnant in the summer sure is wonderful, too. I find myself grateful for that a lot. :) We have also enjoyed spending time with friends and neighbors a lot more this year, which has made living here a lot more fun. And being with family is always a treat, too. But mostly I've just been home, spending time with my kids, which is always wonderful! (Did I say always? I meant almost always :)

I haven't taken pictures of most of the fun we've had, but here are some of the simple pleasures we've been enjoying so far:

taking walks in the double stroller with the two cuties

coloring with sidewalk chalk

playing with my silly kids. I love watching them play, they are so cute together!


Spending a little time in the pool

taking the goats and dog on walks up the canyon

painting fingernails festive for the holiday

...and toenails

watching parades with these two cute cousins

... and some of my favorite girls

going into Cody's room in the morning to find him sitting up looking at me (usually smiling) He gets so excited to see Jayci and me, it's adorable!
