Summer Lovin!

Summer has gone by way to qickly! And it has been a great one! I love being home with my children, if only I could stay home with them always...ah well, there will come a day! Here is the summer fun we've had.
Our home made water slide--a favorite! We did this twice a week, AT LEAST!

Nap time: snuggly baby boy loves his stuffed animals

 Seth and I had tea while Grace played at the neighbors house, he loves tea with mommy!

 Father's Day Photo shoot.

 Cousin Sarah came to play for a few days.

 Lunch at the Temple

 Splash park fun! We were here at least once a week, another favorite!

 Days of 47 (Pioneer day) Parade in Salt Lake City with my good friend Bethani, Chris, and their cute kids!

 Mariah and Seth gazing into each other's eyes!

 This is the Place monument at This is the Place Park

 Washing the clothes the pioneer way

 Hanging the laundry

 Walking the bears up the string

 Nice little ride on the train after a long hot day of walking.

 Dress up!

 Preston night rodeo and parade with Miriam and her family

 Besties

 Parade fun!

 And Seth learned to ride his bike...

 With the help of Duct Tape! (thanks to Deryk)

What a fun summer! I wish I had my camera for the Floyd Simper reunion at Island park, Raspberry Days at Bear Lake with Miriam and her family and my parents, Fishing with Grandpa Simper, Water play at the Rexburg splash park with Grandma Simper, All the many summer visits to Pocatello which included sister's nights and family fun, visits from old and great friends, Becca (jr high-highschool frined) and Bethani (college friend), Stephanie (college and singles branch friend), baby blessings, and so much more summer fun!
It's been a busy summer filled with action, play, travel, and relaxation!
I love you summer, and will miss you tremendously! Until next time...
