More Fun in the Sun!

It seems like this summer has gone by so fast already. We are always doing something to keep ourselves busy, and enjoy being outside SO much! Here are jsut some random pictures of what we have been up to in the past week.

Chase took Ry out front to play, and this is what she decided to play with... the sprinklers. She thought it was hillarious to cover the sprinkler head with her hand and then let to go and have the water hit her in the face.

Kind of blurry, but this is what she would do when she got squirt with the water.

I always thought putting your child on a " leash" was mean and degrading. That quickly changed when my baby started to RUN everywhere! It might seem cruel, but I know where she is now all the time.

She isnt a big fan of it!

For Fathers Day we took it easy at home, and then went to see Great Grandma Darling and Grandma Paula. Rylee loves to play in Great Grandmas backyard, and we enjoy relaxing in the nice shade back there.

There was a bucket of Grandpas golf balls outside. Rylee was entertained by those all afternoon.

Cuddling with daddy!

Fathers Day night we had some strawberry shortcake out on the lawn.

It was delicious!

Mat took us on his boat again. My SIL's whole family came. There were 2 other boats there too, so everyone was able to go out at the same time. We took the kids tubing, and the guys wake boarded. It was a beautiful night to be out on the lake.

I love this picture of Chase. I took it as he passed our boat.

Ry's forst tubing experience.

Me and my SIL's sister on the tube.

After a great night on the lake.

This little one was all worn out.

We had a seafood fry up at the ranch.

My brother started this tradition a few years ago. It has beena big hit ever since.

Me and Ry out on the lake

Just hanging out.

This picture of my neice cracks me up! She was chillin in the sun drinking her root beer!

Rylee begging for food

After the seafood fry we went for sno cones. Rylee has NO PATIENCE! She was pulling on my legs the whole time doing her fake cry, while we were waiting for the guy to make them. I think we are in trouble if she keeps doing these little tantrums!

She fianlly got hers and sat right down where she was standing and started into it!

Enjoy some time with daddy.

Tigers Bllod is the BEST flavor.

More time at the lake!

My neive MaKenna is so dang cute. She was our flag girl for the night.

Chase has got it going on!

I dont know why she hates her life jacket?!?!

2 of my brothers and Chasey.

I dont even know why or how Barbie became the boat mascot for the evening, but she did!

She watched over the boys while they wake boarded.

Love those eyes

Me and Kenna

Going for a ride.

Love her... muah!

This picture turned out cool.

The bugs were so bad after we brought in the boat that the kids sat in the truck and had some snacks.

So tired! She was trying so hard to stay awake!

Chasey wake boarding on Utah Lake

Sprinklers!

...Summer is here...

I can officially say that

SUMMER IN UTAH HAS BEGUN!

After all the suprise snow storms I didnt think we were ever going to get to use our Seven Peaks passes, or wear all 14 swim suits Ry has collected over the past year, or use any of our outside toys, but we have gotten some good use out of them all the past 2 weeks!

I cant even tell you how much fun Rylee is! I have a ball with her everyday, and love playing with her until we both are ready to pass out! She gets excited over everything, and just wants to be outside in the sun. Which is great, but little Ry is alot like me when I was little. Too much sun used to make me so sick. Rylee is the same way... poor thing. Every time I keep her out for more then 3 hours at a time she is sick that night and the whold next day. I have to be real careful with her and make sure she is drinking alot... or eating plenty of popcicles!

Here are just some random pictures of our past two weeks! We have already done so much, and the summer isnt even half over! I cant wait to see what the rest of the summer brings!

... The Ranch...

My sister came down this weekend, so we went to the ranch to play. Rylee loves to dig and dig and dig and throw sand! It keeps her so entertained and busy! I didnt want her in the water cause its so cold and Im afraid she is going to drink it. The ranch water is pretty clean right now, but still there is moss and fish poop in it! Anyways we had a great visit with Shani and her family, and Ry had a great time playing on the " beach."

This is what HAPPINESS is to Ry!

How would it be to not stress about anything except where your doll is and if you have a popcicle in your hand?! Those are 2 of Ry's biggest stresses these days!



...Seven Peaks with cousins...

My SIL Summer has season passes too, so we met her nad her two girls over there last week. The kids have a Blast, and love playing with each other.



We really do wear ourselves out everyday!
I really love this swimsuit, and I love it even more cause I found it at the dollar store!


My nephew is on the Pirates baseball team this year. Its fun going to his games, and he loves when people come to watch him! Last week I told him I was going to make him a banner... he was pretty excited. We also made these very homemade shirts!

We didnt make Chasey's... his is real!

...Front Yard Fun...

My $8 blow up pool has been the best thing yet! We fill it up with kitchen water, so its nice and warm, put Ry in the shade, and I lay in the sun. She has so much fun in it!

A pool filled with toys and she plays with the popcicle sticks

LOVE HER

So, she would get out of the pool, climb up on me, and lay on my stomach like this until she got dried off. Then she would do it again!

2 hours playing outside= 2 hour nap inside!

... More Seven Peaks...

WE met my friend and her kids at The Peaks a couple weeks ago. Ry had a blast in the wave pool, and all the attention she got from the older kids.

Right before we left for the day, Rylee found this binki in her toy box. She hasn't had a binki since she was 3 months old. She wont let the thing go now... not okay!

Melanie and Ry

Chase met us there after work

My hands were cold when I touched his back!

Just another great day!

Its so funny how fast she falls asleep. I got her out of stroller in the parking lot, walked no mor ethen 20 feet, and she was out!

Chase is training her well!

Ry had her first visit to the salon to get glitter toes! They looked so stinkin' cute!
