One more swim before school starts!!

We were able to get one last swim in before school starts on Monday!! Mr. Aiden is getting more used to it and loved playing on the stairs!

Or playing with his little girlfriend:)

Or smooching on his little girlfriend:) So adorable!!

He even has his eyes closed....little stud!!

Miss Kenna has really done well with her swimming. This is her at the DEEP end treading water!! She does really well.

I tried to get a shot of my Jordyn but she wouldn't look at me...little stinker:)

Little dude drying off....too cute!!

Amy and I even took turns watching the babies while the other one swam laps. We did 20 laps back AND forth. It was great exercise!!

Summer overview....swimming and movies!

Yes, I know Summer has been over for a month and that is pretty much how long this post has been waiting for me to publish. It's just been sitting there waiting for me and I'm finally going to do it! Our summer pretty much consisted of swimming and movies! We couldn't afford to go out of town this year but we still made it fun! Some of the movies we saw were Shrek 4 (cute), Toy Story 3 (very cute), Grown ups (hilarious), Eclipse (awesome), Vampires Suck (Oh yes I did!), Eclipse again (oh yes I did!) Inception (in Imax...amazing) and The Switch (funny). I think that is all of them!! I was just loving the movie theater:) I don't think I have ever gone to see so many movies in the theater in such a short amount of time before. I think it was because I had a newborn and I seriously NEEDED to get out of the house. And yes, I did take Aiden to most of these!! I didn't take him to Inception because it was in the Imax theatre and was soooo loud!! And I think I left him with Travis while I went to watch one of the Eclipse movies or the Vampire movie. I can't remember which. But even when I did take him, it was totally fine because I seriously have the best baby!! I usually nursed him at the beginning to which he would fall asleep for a little while and then once he woke up, he would just chill on my lap and watch the movie with me. I think he loved all the colors!! I was totally prepared to take him out if he got fussy but I never needed to because like I said before, he is the best baby!!
We also got to do a lot of swimming! We were invited to the house of a new family in our ward and got to know them better. We also went to the rec center once and was invited by my brother and Jen Orme to swim as well!! It was so nice because the girls just love to swim!! I really need to get them into swimming lessons next year for sure! I even got some color on my legs...something I haven't had in years:-) Here are some pics from our water fun.....
This is at Danny's townhouse pool.

My beauty!

Aiden just chilling!

Jordyn was such a daredevil. She kept wanting to jump off the side and into my arms!

And these are from Jen's house.....

Adorable Avery!

Jordyn chilling!

My cute girls!

Aiden just chilling again!

And I know you don't want to see a pic of my feet but I was so proud that I had an actual TAN LINE that I had to document it!!

Water babies!

My girls have been begging to go to a big pool to swim so we decided to take them to the rec center pool. My friend Ashlee was taking her kids there a couple of weeks ago so we went along with her! We had never been but she said it was nice and it really was. It wasn't very expensive and the girls had a blast. And really....that's all that matters, right?
Miss Kenna completely enjoying herself.....of course Trav got the lifeguard in the pic:) They even had a slide that she kept going down along with a rope and tire swing!! You couldn't peel the smile off of her face.

Miss J....I was surprised at how much she loved it!! She didn't want to get out!

There was quite a crowd the day we went. Ashlee said it was half as full the previous week. It wasn't too bad except when some punk boys splashed water right into my face. I wouldn't have been so mad but Kenna was trying to go into the deep water by herself and they got in my way! They should know not to get in a Mama's face when she is going after her young!! It was also salty because they use salt instead of chlorine so it tasted funky:) At least we didn't smell like chlorine though.

Aidy Baidy was just chilling. He didn't like it when we first hit the water since it was pretty cold but he liked it after he got used to it. I sat in the very shallow end with Aiden while Trav went out with the girls and then we swapped. We stayed just long enough to let the girls have a blast and to wear them out!! We got some lunch on the way home and Jordyn was already asleep in the drive thru:)

The sun sure can make you tired!! Gotta love swim diapers that come up to your boobies!! :) Oh man, he's so cute!!

We actually got to go to a friend's house to go swimming last week as well. They were so excited and Makenna kept telling me thank you for taking her and asking when we could go again! They are definitely water babies and we are all getting a nice tan this summer:) Now who wants to invite us over to swim next??? JK:)

Utah Trip....day 1

Since we were already going to be in St. George, we took advantage and left early Friday morning so we could go up into Pine Valley to hike and have a picnic lunch. We met my parents up there and had some yummy chicken before we started hiking. We decided to take a different route to the lake and it ended up being the very long way there!!!! My dad turned back to get the truck while we kept hiking and we got to see a whole family of deer. If you look closely to the bottom pic above, there is a deer in the middle looking right at us!! We saw the baby first and then saw the whole family just hanging out. They didn't care that we were even watching them until we got a little too close (and Makenna got a little too loud;) and they hopped away like rabbits. It was so neat to have Makenna see that. When Papa picked us up, she kept saying that she wanted to go back and see HER deer!!

We also stopped off at my sister in law Julie's, to see the house that they are building, to visit for a few and so I could get my hair cut (thanks, Julie;) We left there, got some dinner and met all of Travis' family at this nice, new park. Makenna was still in her pants from hiking but we let her run through the water things they had and she had a blast. She was a little timid at first but there was no stopping her once she started. It was cute to watch. She also ran wild on all the playground equipment. She is definitely our little monkey. She loves the monkey bars and will just hang on them forever!!

Travis' parents rented a condo for the weekend (which was super nice...it was as big as our first house) and so we got settled in and then took Makenna to one of the many pools that they had. It was her first real time in a swimming pool and she loved it. She didn't want to get out but she was freezing since it was nighttime. I finally convinced her to get out by telling her we would come back the next day. It was a busy day but it was fun!!
