Splash Pad and Last Pool Day

Yep- still trying to catch up... 

After Cal was born, I felt like we still needed to do a few things to finish out the summer. I had never taken the kids to the Splash Pad in Providence so we headed down there one afternoon and met Shauna and her kids. The kids liked it for a few minutes but Max kept complaining of boredom. They were able to keep themselves entertained for a few hours and I was able to get some great pictures with my new camera. We also made it to the Brigham Pool one last time too. I hate that summer is over... 

Cheer Camp

Klein was able to attend Cheer Camp at Mountain Crest on August 1. She spent three hours learning some cheers and a little dance. When I got there for the "performance" she was crying and wouldn't show off her moves. She had also lost her little toenail and had to get a bandaid from the trainer. She loved participating and keeps asking when she can do it again. I was so glad that Shauna braided her hair at Bear Lake so I didn't have to worry about it for a few days and it looked so cute for her big day. 

Bear Lake

Bear Lake! Wow! We had two days and one night of serious fun and made the most of our time there. By Friday of the same week I was having Cal which is hard to believe. I guess all of the chasing brought on labor. I love our week at Bear Lake and the kids love it too. Notice all that many of the pictures of Preslee are of her running away from me. She has gotten to be so adventurous and too independent for my liking. Thanks mom for another great trip!

Tournament of Champions

The last tournament of the summer and it was a good one. The team played especially well on the first day and won both games. Max had a great tournament and I was proud of him for a lot of different reasons. I was able to use my new camera and I love it! It takes fabulous pictures. The team played in Lehi on the first day and we stayed in Park City. On the second day the games were in Heber City but the weather was kind of crazy. It was nice for a while and then it got cloudy and rainy. Unfortunately, the team didn't win on the second day and so they didn't make it to the final round of play. We stayed at Little America and did some shopping and came home. I am so grateful that my parents and Jason's parents were willing to help me out with Preslee. I actually got to sit and watch a few games. 

 This boy in his uniform melts my heart. He has worked so hard all year and did not miss a single practice or game. At one point in the summer we had organized baseball six days a week but he would still come home and want to work with his dad. It has been a great opportunity for Jason and Max to really bond and get closer. I am glad that Jason has been willing to put in the time to coach and work with Max.

 I love this picture of Max- what a great kid!

Any stay at a hotel had better involve swimming. I swear, we could go on vacation to Hawaii and the kids' favorite part would still be swimming in the hotel pool. It was pretty late and dark but they were determined to swim.
