Summertime and the Livin's Easy :)

We have been thoroughly enjoying our summer. Here are a few shots of what we've been up to lately.

We love having Spencer home for the summer. He is such a great daddy and loves to read to the kiddos. I love Lucy's expression here. I wish I could remember what she was saying!

Here's Lucy cooking her toy fish in one of the nightgowns I made her. This was attempt number 2. It was too small. Attempt number 1 was too big. Attempt number 3? It was ok. I'm no longer attempting. Next time I'll use a pattern! She wore it once and then in storage it went. Hopefully we'll have another girl one day!

A few weeks ago our neighborhood playgroup went to the Gale Center in West Jordan. It is a pioneer museum and a children's museum. And most impressively - it's free! Lucy had a blast fishing off the bridge, shopping in the general store (no pic), and learning to use the telegraph machine (see below).

Last summer my dad rescued this slide and this summer he got Lucy this cute little swimming pool. Spencer had the great idea to play with them together one afternoon. Lucy had fun making all her toys go around it, a la lazy river. Then she had fun sliding them down it. I love the cute smile she's showing off below. We have to show her how to do this if we don't want to see everything that's in her mouth! :)

Here's what Sammy was doing while Lucy was swimming. So cute! :)

Lucy's been taking driving lessons! Just kidding! She was helping clean out the car - one of the many things on our summer to do list. Hmmm.... only one week left and there's still a few things left undone on it. Better stop blogging and get to it!
