Summer Fun!!

Last week I took a little trip up to So. Jordan to help my sister with her boys because she was getting her tonsil out. And my newest nephew happened to be at my parents house and I HAD to see him. Lucky for me (not really) it pretty much was bad weather the entire time I was there. Except Friday. Anyway during the day Taylee and her cousin Rusty decided to go outside. It wasn't raining and the sun just happened to be out. This is what I found them doing!!! When i asked them what they were doing they told me they were washing their hands because they were dirty!! Since there wasn't much water coming out of the drain I didn't really care. But somehow they both managed to get pretty wet.
They both eventually discovered that they could put their handprints on the sidewalk. I think my parents backyard was covered. Its funny how they find things that entertain them for so long.
Later that day after all the rain stopped I found them outside again yelling into the gutters where the water was coming out. "Water, are you?" I couldn't stop laughing. I just wish I would have been fast enough to take a picture or video or something.

Ok so if you haven't noticed by the picture I cut my hair...alot. Before I went to So. Jordan. I decided to get it cut. Well I was just planning on getting it trimmed but then I thought well you can trim it or whack it. I whacked it. 10 inches to be exact. Lucky for me I was able to donate it to Locks of Love again. I figured there was someone who needed my hair more than I do. And my hair seems to be growing fast. Plus I live in St. George!! It's hot! Long hair and heat don't mix. Well for me they don't.
I had to come home saturday because of Fathers Day and Nursery. But before we left we attened the South Jordan Day Parade. Taylee loved the parade. She got so much candy and she giggled and danced and my parents and I laughed because it was so funny.

This is Taylee and her bag of candy. People were very generous. I think it was because of the rain.

Some tanning salon was handing out balloons to all the kids. She held onto it the entire 4 hour ride home!!


Picking up yet again more candy...


Cheering and clapping . She was so excited for everything


Even the Jazz Bear came




Waiting on the curb for people to throw candy so she could run into the street and get it.

Taylee got so excited from the parade she slept for at least 2 hours on the way home. I was glad I didn't have to entertain her, because it rained most of the way and the huge gusts of wind didn't help the driving situation. I enjoyed coming back and I can't wait to do it again. But this time Grady gets to do the driving!!!

Water Baby!!!

The pool has been so much fun this summer. Ever since it opened we have been going all the time. Taylee loves the water and is not afraid of anything. She even swims around and jumps in by herself. The other day I finally broke down and took my camera to capture some pictures. I also happened to have Kids swim goggles in the pool bag and once she saw them she had to have them on. Me and Tay at the pool
Tay Swimming

Crazy kid!!!


Strutting her stuff!!! No she was in and out of the pool all day. She thinks its fun to jump off the steps.



Swimming by herself
Since going to the pool so much I have started getting a pretty good tan. Now only if the weather would cooperate then I would have an even better one!! Taylee of course through genetics is even tanner than I am. It's not fair!! :( But I am grateful that she isn't afraid of the water and that we can go swimming. She loves it and one of these days I'll get her in lessons. Until then she will just have to explore the pool in her floaty and practice blowing bubbles!!!
