The Joys of Summer

With the temperature rising into the 80's and above this week we had the wonderful opportunity to go to the pool for the 1st time this summer. Payton loved the water soo much and she looked too cute in her little swim suit. She obviously didn't have enough at the pool once we got home so we set up the crazy flower in the back yard for her to run around and play in--loved it as you can see.



We also enjoyed an outside picnic dinner; burgers, hot dogs, brats and a fresh fruit salad. Notice Paytons full pony tail (yeah, mommy was so happy) and how short we all are at the table (lawn chairs were an after thought, the camping chairs were already out, haha)


The final joy of summer (as noted so far) are warmer nights, which means camping season. Chad and my dad went on the father son/ priesthood weekend camp out this weekend so us girls went out to dinner and stayed up late (like 2 AM) watching movies, scrap booking and working on crafty projects. It was a blast and a new tradition I look forward to doing again. Chad and my dad seemed to have fun too; Chad was working on a spud gun for the outing all week :)

Also, I am sad to say unless it is an event that needs a lot of detail to fully understand or get the full effect, my motto this summer is going to be "a picture is worth a thousand words". So enjoy scrolling through our family photo updates and be real with yourselves...you only look at the pictures anyways :)

I also added a link on the right side of the page called 'Chads Mobile' which has pictures he uploads from his phone...candid shots seen no where else- ENJOY!
