This week

The kids finished up their first two weeks of summer school.  Liv had a performance on Friday in her Cheer Class.

The boys also got to launch the rockets they built.

We spent 12 hours this weekend at Tae Kwon-Do testing.  It was a long time, but the boys did a great job.  They are getting closer to their black belt.

Liv was bored out of her mind most of the time, but found a few creative ways to entertain herself.

We also went and played tennis this week for Young Women's.  Liv got to tag along and play with some of her friends.

The weather here has been amazing.  Low 70s almost ever night.  We have been enjoying walks around the lake nightly!

Summer so far

We finished our first week of summer school.  The kids have been loving it.  I don't actually really think it is school, especially with classes like lacrosse, tennis, football and many other fun classes.

They come home exhausted.  Cole even fell asleep in the back of the car the other day :)

(He also got his ear split open by a lacrosse stick)

Liv's first attempt at a back walkover on the balance beam.

Liv also had a her first father-daughter dance.  It was a lua held at our church.  It looks like Shawn and Liv had a fun time.

Ethan and Cole have spent time at the orthodontist.  Ethan will be getting braces soon and Cole an expander.

We've spent lots of time swimming, playing baseball and basketball, and playing outside as much as possible.  

We finished off the week celebrating Fathers Day!

The kids spoiled Shawn with a new hat, new shoes, new, shorts, and lots of great coupons!

The Weekend

Like I mentioned previously, we had a big weekend.  Liv was baptized, Cole had a birthday, and Ethan had his first priesthood ordination.  We had lots of family that flew out to help us celebrate.  Shawn's parents came on Thursday night, my mom, stepdad, brother and grandma came on Friday afternoon, and my sister, her husband and four kids came Friday night.  

We started Saturday morning bright and early with Cole's birthday presents.

We headed to the church shortly after for Ethan's priesthood ordination and then Liv's baptism

We also had a last day of school celebration.  Our neighborhood has a big bus stop party at the clubhouse on the last day.  The bus driver drops everyone off there and we have a pool party.  The weather was a little cold, but the kids didn't seem to care. 

We also spent time at the pool with family over the weekend.

We had Cole's annual birthday water balloon fight.

Cole wanted an ice cream cake this year.

We had a bonfire.

We went to the batting cages.

Played mini golf.

Had lots of fun sleepovers.

Went to the lake

Cole spent all his birthday money on nerf guns!

Lots of random pictures, but I wanted to include them so I could remember our fun weekend.  Family is gone and the house is quiet, but fortunately we get to see everyone in a few weeks.  Summer school starts on Monday so the kid are enjoying a few lazy days of sleeping in and doing nothing!
