Hanging out

Here's just some random swimming/playing things we've been up to.

Here is Bailee holding my cousin Natalie's baby Drew. Isn't he darling!!!! it makes me think if we ever had another on I'd be happy with a boy or a girl!!! he's a sweetheart.

Roasting Marshmellows

The other day we had all the neighbors over to roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We had such a good time.  I'm so glad we we've got such good neighbors!!!!  I love having a close neighborhood.  it reminds me of how my old neighborhood was growing up.  I just love when everyone is outside and we all just visit in the evenings. 

summer fun

It's been so fun this summer, for the past few months we've been watching the neighborhood behind us in building the house from the movie up.    they have done it exact, and it had been so exciting to drive by and watch it. 

The other day I was having a dumb mom day. and I thought it would be a good  idea to tell the kids that I'd give them a dollar if they could climb up the light pole.  I couldn't believe they got to the top.  Well I was at lindsey's house , when Mark got home from work you could tell he was ticked at me for encouraging everyone to climb to a dangerous height.    I had to hurry home and delete my status update of these pictures from facebook so I woldn't get more people seeing what an awesome mom I was.  

I just thought they looked so cool like little monkeys climbing up there.  so I later tried to tell them that that was a stupid idea.  not sure if they listened but lets hope. 

Here are Tyson's kindergarten and Bailee's 2nd grade teacher.  They sure had great teachers this year.  I hope we have the same luck next year.  it was hard to say goodbye to them.

Bees Game.

So one night my mom calls me and says "guess whos throwing the opening pitch at the bees game?"  I"m thinking what reality star will it be???? then she tells me it's none other than my DAD!!!! so exciting.  so we all got together to go and see him. 
   we were so sad, by the time we got there we missed it!!!!! I guess they throw it 15 minutes before the game starts.  but we still had a good time just being together. and I'm so excited to have a famous dad!!!!!  I guess his work is a sponsor of the bees and they picked my dad to throw the opening pitch.

Baby June and Grandma Swensen

 So my cute cousin had the most darling baby girl.  and Bailee and I are in love with her.  we both want a baby girl in this family, (but that's another blog post)   on the left is a picture of me holding my cousin Jamie and on the Right is Bailee holding Jamie's Baby June,  lots of similarities.    I wish my picture was more clear but still it's fun to see. 

Here's the kids with my sweet Grandma.  I don't feel like I can post a picture of her with out saying how sweet she is.  we sure love her.

Welcome Home Elder Bullock

At the end of May Ryan's Brother came home from his mission in Milan Italy.  it was So exciting for everyone. and we are so glad he's back.  He's such a fun Brother/uncle.  and I love the spirit that a return missionary brings with them. 

4th of July

The 4th of July is honestly one of my favorite holidays.  It might even be my most favorite. I love my childhood memories of going down to the parade and of all the fireworks.  This year I took the kids to the West Jordan parade.  I love the size of the city parades now.  they are not to big but big enough that they still get some cool floats. 
  I am loving the legal fire works this year.  every night for the weekend of the 4th we went out side and watched the show of everyone else.  it was pretty awesome.  and it's funny it makes the pack of the ones you buy at the store seep super lame.  since we got so spoiled with all the big ones.  
  funny story.... The first night we were our watching the fireworks I looked around to see what Davis thought and I couldn't find him.  all of a sudden I see him b-lining it down the street to our house, he was scared to death,  he just kept saying "I want to go to bed"  I thought it was so funny/ sad  that instead of telling me he was scared he decided to go home on his own.  luckily he warmed up to them and loved them for the rest of July. 

Zoo with the Family

Well I bought a Zoo pass this year,. and one day it just happened to work out great that my parents both had the day off and my brother did also so they all met us up there  we had such a good time.  I love when my kids get to spend time with their papa.  They love him and my mom so much.  and When uncle Ry ry came it made it all the better.
