Summa-time

First month of summer has FLOWN by but we haven't wasted a minute...3 weeks of swim lessons, This is the Place Heritage Park, Seven Peaks Waterpark (yes I am insane!), Murray Pool, lego workshop (Christian and daddy built an awesome robotic lego car - future engineer perhaps?), backyard water parties and BBQs, smores up the canyon...whew!

Wild and exhausting and a little bit crazy but so fun. My kids are so used to constantly being "on the go" that we all get a little stir-crazy when we're stuck at home for a day (okay, more like I do). So we just wear 'em out good and hard on lots of adventures.

Mia is crawling EVERYWHERE and into everything - she even tried her first few bites of cat food. Yuck. Good protein right?? She has 4 big girl teeth now and chants "da da da" and "ma ma ma" all day. Love it. She is a happy, happy girl and so much fun.

 Swim lessons...we love to swim!

Miss Mia loves to splash, splash, splash.

Harvesting the garden, aren't we so domestic??
Mason loves the fruits of his labor (strawberries and snap peas are his fave).
I attempted to pay the boys to weed and Mason parks it and eats peas instead. "Mom I am helping you  eat all the peas so they don't go bad." Perfect, thanks for your "help" Mason. :)

 Weeeeee, sissy in the swing (and brother is looking a little dangerous).

 Break dancin' dude loves a good beat and backyard dance party!

 Look who can stand up in her crib now. She's always so proud of herself when she learns something new. Big accomplishment! I love walking in to find this cute munchkin as she squeals for joy and dances in excitement. Seriously SO HAPPY all the time!

"Angry Squirrels and Golden Eagles Water Fight" in Nana's backyard, with self-made shields, mascots and all. The boys adore their super creative Nana!

Glow in dark pirate mini golf with cousins - and only 99 cents at Fat Cats all summer. Sweet deal and perfect escape from the heat for our boys.

 My favorite 3 little people.
And a little random Mason convo...while he was gabbing away at bedtime, I finally said, "It's time to stop talking and go to bed now."
Mason: "But mom, my tummy hurts when I stop talking."
Go figure.

Isn't summertime the best?? My fave season by far.

Lots more summer fun to come at our house - golf lessons, Lagoon Day, family reunion,
baseball league, piano lessons, lots more snowcones and swimming pools. What's not to love?

 and who can resist these sweet cheeks??
