Elaina, the Photographer

Today Elaina told me she wanted to be a photographer. So, I let her use my camera for a little bit. These are some of her results. She never fails to amaze me.

Fun in the Sun

It was a really hot day and the kids and I were feeling trapped in the house while Adam was at work, so, we packed a picnic and went to a splash pad near by. It was a lot of fun. It was a cute little stream with a waterfall supplying the water. They also had the typical water squirting from the sidewalk but that water was kind of strong and the kids didn't dare get too close to it. It was a fun little park that we will revisit several times this summer, I am sure.

Car Wash!

My car was well over due for a car wash. Thank goodness Austin and Elaina are such good car washers. I think, in total, they rewashed my car probably 4 times. A car can never be too clean.

Picnic with Anthony

We went on a picnic with Brooke and Anthony today. The park was a lot of fun, but man... it was HOT! I swear, kids don't feel temperature because they sure didn't seem effected by it. It was a cool park, though, with lots of unusual play stuff.

This was at the park. It was amazing!

Sickies

My little kidlets have had the stomach flu or something like it today. This has been the scene at our house pretty much all day. Poor little mites.

Water Party at Grandma Glenn's

Today we had a water party at Grandma Glenn's house with all the cousins on Adam's side of the family. The kids always have so much fun when cousins and water are involved.Here's all the cousins. The family is growing so fast!

Austin and Elaina liked the little pool because the water was warm.

Elaina loves her cousin Kayla. Kayla is always so nice and fun!

Fun with Aaron & Family

Aaron and his family came out to Utah this past week. It was so fun seeing them. Austin and Elaina love playing with their cousins. One day we went with them to Austin and Elaina's favorite place, the Children's Discovery Park, and to Austin and Elaina's new favorite place, the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum. Any place with sand or water is always a hit! We also went to see Grandma Johnson and Grandma/pa Twitchell. It was a lot of fun to get to spend time with family.
