Summer to and End

Ok, so I know it has been a few months. I have been busy with the summer and taking the girls here and there. It really did fly by. One of the things we have done is swimming. Kanyon and Kallie love to swim, they could spend all day in the swimming pool if we let them. Our friend Chase has a diving board. Yes they both went off and just loved it. I can't believe how brave they are. Kallie just loves to jump in the pool. Sometimes we have to make sure someone can swim fast enough to keep up with her. Man she is so much fun. Kanyon is now swimming alone with her life jacket, but she doesn't have to hold on to me or Kevin. What a funny girl she is. She also loves to jump in and off the diving board. I can't believe how fast they grow up. We never made it camping. Too many fires in Utah. So we were not able to go. We were sad. We hope to go next year. We loved watching the firework shows. Roy Days has the best fireworks and the girls just had a blast. We loved playing at the park with our friends. Do you ever feel like you eat out more in the summer? I feel like I never cooked, and if I did it was easy pizza. We enjoyed lots of bbq's and eating out at new places. We also went to a few baseball games. The girls really enjoyed that. We took the girls to Lagoon for their birthdays. Lagoon is so much better when you have kids who can enjoy it. They had a blast. Kanyon didn't stop smiling the whole time. She just was big enough to go on most the rides that she wanted. She will be tall enough next year to go on the white roller coaster. She is already talking about next year. Kallie was able to go on most of the rides. She also loved it. Sometimes I thought she was going to throw up but she never did. After the ride she would say "so cool." It's so cute to hear her say that. She is talking so much. She loves to talk and tell me what she is doing and she always says "k" when she is done talking. It's funny. We had the birthday parties for the girls. One night we had it at the splash pad in Ogden. They had their little friends come to that one. It was a fun night talking and watching the kids hit the pinata. Fun to watch little ones. They got lots of Barbie dolls and movies, and a pillow pet that has lights in it. Kanyon was jumping when she opened it. She had been wanting one for a while so yeah she was thrilled. Kallie was happy about the movies. Both girls were happy. We then had their party for the family. It was raining so hard that we had to move the party inside. It was not too bad. Yes we need a bigger house but we made it work. The girls got some awesome toys, barbies, tutu, and a blanket from my grandma. They were both very happy with their birthdays.
I can't believe how big they both are. It seems like just yesterday they were little babies and now they are growing up so fast. Kanyon has her first day of school this week. She can't wait to get back and see her friends. She has many friends and loves to learn new things at school. She is happy to start going. She says to me "summer is over, time for school!" I will have a little more free time with Kallie now. Just a few hours. She will miss Kanyon but it will be good for me and her.
So that's about it for the girls.As for as Kevin and I, we are both good. I am still working part time at the bridal shop and I like it. I like helping brides pick out their dress, something they will always remember. It really is fun. I am taking a institute class, The Book of Mormon. I have only been one time because kids need me, or I cant find a sitter, but I am going to start going every Tuesday and Thursday. Kevin and I are also taking a marriage class. It's Thursday nights. I am excited about it. No kids and it is kind of a date night! I did however take Kevin out for a nice couple massage. We both really like it. We needed it. I am sure hoping we can do that again and soon! Kevin had a hard summer. He sprained his ankle at the first of the summer. He couldn't run or do much of a work out. Then, right when he was healing from that, his back went out. He herniated 3 discs. It was so painful for him. He was down for about 2 weeks in the summer. Then at the same time he hurt his finger at work and it lead into a infection in the whole hand, so he could not use his left hand and his back hurt. It was hard on him. He didn't give up. He worked hard and got his hand and back feeling good again. We got to do the yard together because while he was hurt he couldn't do it by himself this year. I was happy to help. Our yard is now complete. I don't think there is one more thing we need to add next year. Ya for that!
Kevin is in his last semester. YA. He is very excited. He is still up at Weber State and can't ever find a parking place, so he rides his bike up to school. I think that's so cool. We both have bikes. Kevin bought me a bike one random day, and now we both can ride. We took the kids on a bike ride on Sunday, and yeah I wanted to be done after like 10 min. Man, pulling that bike trailer is a hard thing. Oh well we made it. I need to start doing that more this fall. I know the girls really enjoy it. Kevin is still working on Base. He is in a new building and seems to like it more. He really seems to enjoy it more then he thought he would, which makes me and him both happy. So Kevin and I are doing good. Kids are doing good. Boone is good. We are just living life and having fun.
Theses pictures will be random and not in order. They are of the whole summer.
