Summer Time!!!

Because of the WONDERFUL climate where we live we are able to enjoy the blessings of summer earlier than most. And we are also lucky to live somewhere with a pool just down the parking lot. (We don't really like where we live but we do enjoy the perks!!) Our pool has been open since the end of April and we have enjoyed going pretty regularly. Tay finally likes the water and is not afraid at all to go swim arount the entire pool as long as she is wearing her floaties. The other day she decided she was ready to go and put the big floatie that we have on...upside down. I couldn't help but snap a few pictures because it was so funny. She even got stuck so I had to help her out of it. When we are ready to go she gets her arm floaties out and makes us put them on most of the time before we leave the house. Then she runs as fast as she can to get to the pool. We usually don't get there fast enough because she is already to get in when we get there. We have to remind her to take off her shoes, otherwise she would just jump right in. Speaking of jumping in. She isn't afraid at all. We have to watch her because the 1..2..3 jump doesn't work very well anymore. She will just fly right of the edge of the pool whether you are ready for her or not. I guess it's time for swimming lessons!!! Tay also loves it when her friends come. Last night some of our friends came to the pool with us. Taylee and her friend Brady swam all over the pool. It was so fun to watch them. Maybe the next time we go I'll remember the camera and get some shots of Tay. It really is so funny to watch.













We hope you all enjoy summer as much as we do. And if you are ever down in good ol' St. George stop by and come for a swim we would love to have you!!

Mommy's Day!!!

Mothers Day is such a great holiday. I never really paid any attention to it until I had Taylee. And of course she has no idea what happens but it's ok. Since we don't have church until 1 we just lounged around until we needed to start getting ready. Of course I had to get ready for nursery and since we just discovered that Tay has anouther ear infection, I went about the nursery thing and Grady laid on the couch while Tay watched her Disney Channel shows!! I wanted the kids in nursery to make their moms cards but it was harder than it looked. They would rather play with toys and things so they mostly just colored. Anyway we had a great afternoon. After church we went up to Enterprise and relaxed outside and ate dinner. Since it is becoming so hot down here it was a nice change to go somewhere cooler. I need a holiday like that every once in a while!!!

On Saturday we spent a good majority of the day at the park. It was the Red Rock Music Festival and Grady's band was asked to play!! They did such a good job rocking the park!! They only played for about 45 minutes and they played some of their best songs. I couldn't how much the crowd liked them and really got into the music. As hot as it was it was still fun to be outside in a different setting to watch them. No matter where they play they always seem to have a great time. After they played we came home and hung out at our pool and had a barbeque with some friends and them we went back to the park to listen to another band. What a day! I think Tay enjoyed what she could when she wasn't sleeping!!!
