Summer FUN!

June and July really are the best months for Ryan. Besides our anniversary he has Father's Day AND his Birthday. Lucky Guy! It's an early Father's Day morning for Ryan with a surprise breakfast on the porch before church.

Then there was an amazing LASAGNA dinner after church. (Yes, I make good lasagna and I'm not afraid to say so.)
 

It wouldn't be Father's Day without DESSERT! Not too bad for a homemade peanut butter and chocolate ice cream cake. YUM! He deserves it!
 

We all got to enjoy Ryan's Father's Day.

This summer all 3 boys did swimming lessons again at the Logan Aquatic Center. I was even able to go to Water Aerobics while they were in class. Sweet deal.

What's more American than red, white and blue cake!?! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
 

July was a hot one in the West. Besides fireworks and fun, there were plenty of FIRES. We could see this one from our front porch.
 

My parents came out and celebrated with us, along with Chris and Wendy and a few of my cousins.
 

A HOT afternoon for a parade, but we were still all smiles.

Did I mention it's hot in Utah?! Sometimes we just prefer to stay inside on the couch in the air-conditioning.

It's almost time!! Grandma came prepared with glow sticks for the kiddos to play with before the real light-show.

Our 4th really was a BLAST!
 

We continued our little summer vacation / staycation with a mini trip to Provo following the 4th. The boys loved visiting BYU with Dad and Dah-Dee-Doh. The MUSEUMS are always a favorite.
 

It's never a trip to BYU with out BOWLING!
 

Splish-Splash! One of the highlights of our trip to Provo, besides staying with Grandma and Grandpa Great was our day at 7 Peaks Water Park. Don't you just LOVE summer!?!
