summer post #2

I can't believe that summer is almost over. I have to start gettign ready to go back to reality and be a teacher again!- We have been having so much fun. I dont think we have stayed home one day this whole time.

This past week we went down to Cedar to say goodbye to my little brother (Uncle David) so he could leave on his mission. We had a lot of fun and LOVED the new lake that Cedar City built. The water was freezing but Korbin didnt seem to mind to play in the sand instead. We also played at Park Discovery which Korbin loved.

Korbin is offically potty trained and not even wearing plastic pants at night Wahoo!

Quinn has his two bottom teeth and better be getting some more in soon so he has a real reason to be so crabby

We have also discoverd my new favorite pool! The Scera Pool in Orem is perfect- it is outside all shallow and allows floaties so I dont have to pack around two kids- we have gone there a few times and have loved it!

5 years ago today

5 years ago today we said our "I do's". I would still do it all over again- even knowing all I do now- I love you baby cakes!

Happy Father's Day Baby Cakes

Happy Father's Day babe! We love all the work you do for

Pre stitches

So it has been really nice to actually have a summer to myself (and my two boys) for the first time since I was 15 years old...The idea did scare me as to finding things to keep me occupied and not bored out of my mind at home. So far we have been able to do SO many things that I have wanted to do for a long time but just couldn't due to work and nap time schedules. But now that work is out of the picture for a few months I have ALL the time I could ever want to work around nap times (or just skip them)

As a VERY condensed version since pictures say much more-

1. Korbin got his first set of stitches (6 on the chin- he some how slipped at the pool and cracked it open saddest thing I have ever seen him have to go through)

2. Wheeler farm SEVERAL time

3. Swimming a TON

4. Parks

5. Zoo

6. Living Planet Aquarium

7. Grandma's house for a visit

8. Uncle Danny coming to visit

9. Uncle David coming to visit

10. Having a Saturday ALL to myself ( no swim meets/guarding/school work)

11. Hanging out with NO itinerary of plans or things to get to

12. Ran a 10 K with Alyse and training for another one in Aug (RIGHT ALYSE???)

13. Went to the Eagle Mountain Parade

14. Played with some really good friends

15. Potty training for Korbin (going REALLY good)*dare i say he is done aside from night time episodes

16. took Korbin swimming at MY pool in cedar before it is torn down at the end of the summer (so many memories there)
This summer really has been so fun so far! I'm am excited to spend my freedom for the next two months with my boys! Enjoy the pics!
