Splish Splash!

So we've had a great couple of weeks. The weather has been really warm so we've been having fun outside. These are pictures of a barbecue we had. All the kids slip-n-slided and played in a kiddie pool. It kept them so entertained that the parents could actually sit around and have conversations! It was amazing. :)
Also Spencer has had swimming lessons, so there are pictures of that.

Luke and Spencer drying off so they could start round two of slipping and sliding....

Spencer having fun.

Spencer at the pool for swimming lessons. Whenever I ask him to smile, he does some weird pose like this.

Spencers class.

The barbecue again. The pictures got out of order for some reason.

The adults conversing...

(Notice my pretty flowers mom?)

And of course Carly was excited to swim too...until she got in the water and got splashed. Then she didn't want anything to do with it.

Utah Trip

We went to Utah for Memorial weekend. We endured the LONG drive up, but we did have our new mini van, so that helped! We went to see Katie graduate from highschool. It was a fun trip- so here are some pictures.

Carly just crawling on the floor at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Spencer and Porter love books! It was nice to have grandparents who would read to them so that the parents got a break from it! :)

Spencer loved playing with his cousin Porter.

Carly, Grandma, and Grandpa enjoying the nice weather.

Carly after church. See her newest tooth?

The graduate... Hello- can you get any more honor cords? Nope, Katie got every one! She makes the rest of us look bad!
The siblings... and Grandpa
The kids were NOT happy to pose with the graduate.
