Summer Fun

We have had a lot of fun this summer.  I am home with Makayla, and Devin has been working, going to school, doing stuff with the Elder's Quorum, and traveling for work.  Needless to say, I am trying to find lots to keep me busy while Devin is going 100 miles per hour every second.

I could easily sum up my summer in three little letters: H-O-T!  I have nine weeks left until my due date, which hopefully means I have eight or less weeks to go until the baby really comes.  I can take eight more weeks of the upper 90's, right?  Holy crud, I hope so!  To keep cool, Makayla and I go to the splash pad frequently.  We have gone with cousins, friends, and kids from the ward.  So glad to have a splash pad!

 Here is Makayla with her friend, Kit playing in the water (my friend, Jessica's daughter).

 Splash pads always seem to have a big toy near by, and we always seem to find it!

 Dev and I took the little Stink Bug down to the Gateway one night just have to have a night out.  She liked the fountains.  She kept trying to run into the water, but I didn't think to take  change of clothes so we had to deny her buckets-o-fun.

 We have taken advantage of all the city events around our house to celebrate the 4th of July--in June.  Here is Makayla going down a giant slide at South Ogden Days.  Daddy had to take her on all the rides, because they made it very clear pregnant women were to stay away from all rides.  Next year....next year.

 We tried to get her to go on some boats with her cousins, but she wouldn't have it.  Leah had a hard time too, until they started moving.

 The boats were a flop, but the carousel was not.  Boy oh boy, did she love that horse.  The ride stopped, and Devin took her off and she wigged out.  The cousins wanted to try the horses too, so she was a lucky little bean and got to ride it twice.

 Her face says it all.

 Waiting for the fireworks to start.  I gave the kids some glow sticks, and they had a blast with them.

 We also went to the fireworks for the Terrace Days.  Steven and Devin took Makayla and Korbin over to catch some prizes, and they managed to get a few.  Makayla got a new soccer ball, and Korbin got a sweet little Jazz jersey and some other goodies.  After the fireworks were over Makayla asked me for more for about a week.  Luckily, South Ogden Days were the next weekend!

We went to the South Ogden Days parade with my two brothers and their families.  Here are the kiddos all lined up ready to get some candy.  From the left we have Bailey, Kyla, Leah, Makayla and Korbin.  Let's just say the parade was a success, and we now have a butt-load of candy at our house.  Yikes!
