Summer Is Over!

That means I have a lot to write about. Summer time is such a busy fun time so I never found time to write about it. I have no pictures of this but we did a lot of swimming! I can't believe I left my camera home each time we went. I took Evan to our community pool during the day and we would go with Matt in the evening. A few times friends joined us. Evan hated it at first during the beginning of the summer because it wasn't blazing hot yet. He's just like me when it comes to water, we get cold easily. Once it really heated up he was really enjoying it. He learned to go under water without coming up coughing because water went down the wrong pipe. He loved it when Matt or I threw him in the air and he went under water.


We got to have fun at the park a lot this summer as well. Evan now goes down the slide all by himself. He loved feeding the ducks. He had more fun chasing them though.

We had a fun Pioneer Day. Matt had the day off so we went to Spanish Fork to see the parade with his Family. Uncle David was in town from California so it was great having him with us. After the parade we walked around the carnival and let Evan ride his first carnival ride. He loves water so I was worried he would fall out of the boat trying to touch it. Luckily he stayed in. He loved it so I'm excited to take him to Lagoon during Frightmares. It's cooler then :).

We went bowling with our great friends Jon and Aubrey. They moved in next door in May and I'm so grateful! We've become great friends. I really enjoy all the fun activities we've done with them and the great conversations we have daily. We took Evan with us so he could experience bowling for the first time. They didn't have anymore of those ramps that help kids bowl so I had to help him. He took my first turn and I finished up. Once we rolled the ball down the lane, Evan would sit down and wait for it. He was being so cut and we made a great team! I really thought Jon would beat all of us but Matt ended up coming first and then him. I guess Evan helped in that lol! He's our little secret weapon. Evan and I came in third and then Aubrey. We had a great time. I wish I got a picture of Jon. I guess we have to do it again :).

We had a lot of game nights with our friends and family. We love playing Celestial Champions with our friends because it's fun getting to know them better.

We went on a lot of morning walks with Amy and Jen. Sometimes we would walk to get free food. That's always fun!

Matt and I took Jon and Aubrey to the Manti Temple. I look forward to our trips up there. It's one of my favorite Temples. The feeling there is just amazing! I also look forward to eating at the Manti House after the session because their food is also amazing! We got a group photo at the Temple but the lady that took the pictures managed to not take a picture with my camera. We heard the click so we thought she got us but all she did was focus. I have yet to get Jon and Aubrey's copy.

Evan had his first taste of Corn on the Cob and loved it. The white stuff is sour cream. Something he also tried for the first time.

We spent a lot of time outside playing in our front yard. Evan also helped water our plants but sometimes he takes it a step further in fun.


Evan aged really fast during the summer :). He's now 22 months so that makes him 2 years old in two months.

On Labor Day we went up into the mountains and had a picnic with Matt's family. We then drove up to Cascade Springs. It was a beautiful place and there's signs of Fall coming. Yay!

Our BYU Cougars had an amazing win against the Oklahoma Sooners.


Evan learned how to do somersaults.


There's nothing better then a nice cold drink of water on a hot summer day.


Our summer was a lot of fun but it left us tired.

We're excited that fall is coming, it's my favorite time of year.
