Summer Activities

We are still alive! I have been a huge slacker as far as blogging goes so here's a little catch up. Some if the things we've been doing this summer are:

Jake had a birthday! He turned the big 3-2! We went to Coeurd lane his birthday weekend and spent some time with friends.

I love my husband DEARLY, but he is soooo hard to buy gifts for! So this birthday I put together a candy bar poster for him. 

 We have also been:

Building tents. The girls will play in this kind of structure for quite some time. Alyssa is soooo into playing house right now and Hallie is getting good at being told what to do. They're so fun to watch!

We even:

Made is to the pool in Pendleton. This pool is awesome! It gradually gets deeper, and it has slides just the right size for the girls. They had sooo much fun there! 



  

 And then:

We went to my family reunion. This year we went to Jackson, WY. My dad grew up there, so we went and saw some of the places he lived, went to Jenny Lake, hiked up to Hidden Falls, and spent some time in downtown Jackson. We camped in the Gros Vente just outside of Jackson. I think one of my favorite parts was seeing the Tetons! They are so amazing to me!

This is at my Grandpa and Grandma Tanner graves.

 The girls actually slept really well! The first night we were there, it started raining at 10 P.M and didn't stop until almost 3:30 A.M. And it was a pretty hard rain! Water was dripping on my head and our pillows were wet and the next morning one of mine and one of Alyssa's shoes were soaking wet! BUt the rest of the time the weather was perfect!

A couple of funny things the girls have said:

Alyssa- WE were at my parents house and they have a cat in the house. Alyssa came into the bedroom me and my mom were in and said, " Grandma the touched Buttercup (the cat) and his purr was on!" Me and my mom busted up laughing! What a cute way of putting that!

Halllie- Hallie doesn't like nursery. She has gone 1 time for the last hour by herself. I usually sit in there with her for the first hour and then JAke usually just takes her with him to Elders Quorm. BUt today Jake decided he was gonna let her cry in nursery. So after church I went and found them. JAke told me that he had left her in there and how when he went to get her she was mad at him and clung to the nursery leader! So a little later I asked Hallie if she had gone to nursery. She said yea. Then she gets a sad little voice and says, " Ma daddy weft me." (She says ma or my before she talks about her daddy and her Lyssie!) It was the cutest thing! Then she kept saying it the whole way home!

Do they have to grow up????!!!!
