This summer has been really fun, we've been able to do more than I thought we would with a new baby. :)
We went to a couple of parades, at which Whitney clapped and waved vigorously in hopes of getting more candy! They got plenty!
cute attempt at a selfie
Owen and Maris enjoying the parade in comfort!
We love boating at Pineview Reservoir with our Murray family!!
Petting zoo. Whit loves animals!
Maris in the Minnie Mouse outfit my visiting teacher bought her!
playing with the camera on my new phone
We got to go to Lagoon for Eric's summer Company Party! It was super fun, except for that Owen only wanted to go on a couple of rides and Katelyn only liked one roller coaster.
the animal train
they finally conked out in the stroller
Whitney with her friend Porter, whose Dad works/carpools with Eric so they were there for the work party too.
And they held Maris for us to go on a couple of rides!
It took some convincing to get Owen on the Merry Go Round while Eric and the girls went on another ride
and then we all went
all day many strangers commented on how adorable Maris was.
Had to document this. Katelyn is always sad because she never gets carried- at least she hasn't since Owen was born! So as we were leaving the park Eric surprised her and picked her up and she was SO HAPPY, it was SO cute. Oh and she bought that monkey with her own money. :)
Eric celebrated his birthday in Fruit Heights!
And here's something else I've done several times this summer with the kids:
Gone to Salem Pond
Or various parks (here the girls are playing American Ninja Warrior)
Maris and I hang out in the shade while the kids play, and I take lots of pictures of her :)
More Salem Pond
We've also been to various splash parks- Whitney runs wild at them!
Kate and Owen are adorable together.
This gem is from Santaquin Days.
I got the girls these shirts at Old Navy and the next morning they surprised me by wearing them with their Great-Great-Grammy shorts! Then they were helping Owen be a "cowboy", so I had to take a picture.
so many silly poses! I felt so much joy this summer all the times my kids played nicely together! I hope they can always be friends, be close. Yes, Owen and Whitney could be heard fighting about 20 times a day, and Katelyn and Whitney had blow-ups at least twice a day, but there were many good hours in between. :)
A few more pics from Pineview that I am too lazy to move to the top of the post :)
Maris and Grandma
Grandpa and owen
Owen and Cleo are becoming little friends, it's SO cute!
You can't really tell, but these next two are of Whitney trying kneeboarding for the first time! She went on her stomach and loved it! I was super impressed that she wasn't afraid to be out there all by herself holding onto the rope!
Katelyn and Whitney love Grandpa's boat! And Owen is getting over his fear. :)
Aunt Elizabeth and Maris- and I didn't get a picture of Kjarom but we love him! He is so much fun.
Summer is the best!
