Chloe and Beckham start school tomorrow and so I feel like our summer is officially over.
So...
Here are some random pictures from our summer that I wanted to make sure I had captured on the family blog.
A Day at Spring Mountain Ranch...
Dinner on the patio
We spent many nights eating dinner on the back patio. The kids love sitting and eating dinner together as a family. Chloe usually sets the table and rehearses which jokes she is going to tell.
Every One Loves An Ava
No one can resist Miss Ava. She is a staple to our diet. We eat her up every day...
how could we not??? Look at those cheeks!!!
More Fireworks
We went to St. George for a cousin's mission farewell the weekend of Pioneer Day. The kids went up early and spent the day with Aunt Amber and Uncles Kyle and Weston and went to a fair. We met up for dinner and a movie and then finished the night with more fireworks. Beckham now includes in his prayers, "Please bless we can do more fireworks..." almost every night. Should I be worried?
Like Father, Like Son.
These two are alike in so many aspects. Sometimes when I watch Beckham, I feel like I am watching Jon as a kid. If Beckham grows up to be like Jon, I will be a happy woman.
Cousin Time
Some of my most fond memories from childhood were times that I spent with my cousins. I feel blessed that my children have been blessed to have such sweet, fun cousins. They are some of their best friends.
This is from Oma's birthday party. Oma sent out invitations to each of the grandkids to invite them to her birthday party. They played games, swam and had happy meals. What a fun grandma!
The kids and Jon spent alot of time on the lake. Because it was so hot, Miss Ava and I stayed home and enjoyed the air conditioning. The kids tubed, surfed and watched Daddy wakeboard. We love the lake.
Weston came home for 3 weeks and we ate up our time with him. He was able to meet Ava for the first time. We had lots of family dinners, played games and watched movies. Good times.
My niece, Sadie, came to visit for a few days in July. We had a girls day filled with swimming, making cupcakes, makeovers and a fashion show.
Dog Days of Summer
I love this picture of Beckham. It represents a big part of the summer: Exhaustion. The pool provided so much physical activity that the kids would literally be in the middle of doing simple activities and would collapse from being so tired.
Chloe loves reading and writing. She and Beckham watch The Letter and Word Factory videos all of the time. The videos have really helped with their phonetics and the other day, Chloe showed me one of her masterpieces. Can you sound it out???
Old Navy. A little free entertainment.
Goodbye summer. It was fun.
