Swim Lessons

Okay, I am ashamed to admit it, but this is the first official swimming lesson Miguel and Mikayla have had. We had taken them swimming in years past but a couple of years ago, about 5 minutes after arriving at our city pool, Mikayla swallowed a mouthful of water and threw up in the pool. We instantly ended everyone's fun for the evening as they closed the pool for cleaning. Since then we hadn't been back much but finally we decided it may be a little awkward enrolling them in Mommy and Me classes at age 13 so we gave it a whirl. We are once again regulars at the pool and the kids are loving every minute of it.

Fresh Raspberry Jam

 

Every year I miss buying raspberries while their in season. Matt's Mom always made raspberry freezer jam and he absolutely loves it. So this year I was on top of things and snagged me a few...it was the easiest thing ever. I couldn't believe from start to finish it took 20 minutes to make...within 30 it was set and ready to eat. It tastes so divine!

Dede's Trip

Most of what made our summer vacation so great this year was being together with all of our fun family, including the Nelson's from Ohio. We hiked, went to a parade, visited This is the Place Heritage Park, held family kickball tournaments, spent the day at Lagoon, had many family cook outs, spent a weekend in Park City and fit in a girls day at the spa...Whew! We love you all very much! Thanks for creating some great memories with us!
