Those Lazy Summer Days...

So here are some things we have been up to the past few weeks. For Father's Day Addison gave Tyler a pool which you can see SHE is enjoying! :) Clark likes it too actually, but for some reason I don't have any pictures of him in it... Probably because I am trying not to juggle him and the camera near the water. :) Anywho it has been hot and the pool has been a hit! Clark is now trying to pull himself up into standing position. He can already go from laying down to sitting. Nothing stops him now. I made Addison the 4th of July tutu she is wearing. I was pretty proud of myself since I don't think I am very crafty but it turned out cute. I think I will start experimenting more and possibly come up with a fairy princess costume for Halloween or something... maybe just dress-ups for Christmas. Who knows... Ummm I don't remember which photos are next there are some of the kids and I after our Sunday afternoon nap this past Sunday. It was fabulous! The kids slept for 3 hours of course that meant throwing off bedtime but hey at least we got a good nap too! Then I think the last pictures I put up are of Addison's first haircut. We went to a place called Cookie Cutters and the lady did a great job. She was super quick. Addison got to watch maybe 10 minutes of Jungle Book... She did get a balloon and sucker too. When we were in the car headed home she informed me that she wanted to get her hair cut again. I told her in 6 months maybe for her birthday she could... Her hair really doesn't look much different but all the ends are evened up now. Anywho as for Tyler and I we are just enjoying summer days and trying to clean up the yard some and hang up pictures and continue with organizing everything. We keep busy for the most part. Tyler is almost done with classes for "Spring" semester and then hopefully he will only have one more class to take during Fall semester to graduate officially! Love you all and hope all is well!

Summer Adventures

So I say summer adventures even though summer has really just begun because I know that there are going to be a lot adventures this summer. Clark is army crawling and starting to pull himself up (at least in the tub). He loves power cords of all kinds he isn't picky... He can get wherever he wants pretty much between rolling and army crawling. He is also getting a ton of teeth! It feels like it anyways. He has 5 currently and is working on at least one more I can see just needing to break through the last few layers of gum tissue.

Addison is loving the outdoors and already has a farmers tan. She loves "helping" Dad mow the lawn. Tyler tied a rope to the mower and told her she had to stay behind him and hold onto the rope so he would know right where she was. She listened very well so she would be allowed to continue to help. She also is digging some nice holes with Lulu under our giant blue spruce in the back yard. She helped pick out flowers for the front flower bed.

Tyler is keeping busy with many many projects on the house and around the house and I am keeping busy with kids, household projects and general housework! I just finished painting Clark's room blue. (It was purple with boarder that had purple and pink hearts.) We thought he needed something less girlie in his room. :) Tyler's most recent project was finding all of our sprinklers and replacing broken sprinkler heads. We are enjoying life and love spending time together going on long walks and bike rides.

Addison had the flu yesterday but I was itching to get out of the house so we went on a walk and walked down main street and looked at all the little shops on the outside. We have decided we really do love living in Utah. We miss everyone in Idaho, but are truly enjoying each other and being our own little family!
