Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime?

Remember that good old song from Primary days?

“Oh what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green?
Do you fish in the stream, or lazily dream on the banks as the clouds go by?
Is that what you do? So do I!”

NOT!

Summer is almost over and I haven’t lazily dreamed yet! 

If it isn’t running off to Summer Rec. activities at the park, its off to swimming lessons.  I had such good intentions as the summer began to read and do mommy school with the girls everyday so Chloe would learn the difference between yellow and blue and so that Avery could finally write her numbers all facing the right direction!  But alas, blue is still yellow and all the numbers are still marching backwards!  The laundry has been left undone for far too long and oh the eating out we have done!  (I hate cooking in the summer, does anybody else have this problem!?)

Oh well!  We did have some fun along the way…here are some pictures of the summer fun!

Chloe and her first “boy-friend”, Matthew and the produce from the Neighborhood Co-op that shows up in my drive way every other week.

Stephen’s ARUP Laboratories work party at the Hogle Zoo…gotta get your face painted!

 

Father’s Day with Daddy and Papa Jensen.  Sorry Grandpa Schaff, I forgot my camera that night!

Summer Rec. soccer with Avery, she’s a great goalie isn’t she!?  Hey! At least this year she didn’t cry every day…we’re making progress!

Sidewalk chalk art and a welcome home for Grammie Jensen after her surgery.

4th of July…concert in the park, fireworks and the Centerville Parade.

 

Did I mention the swimming lessons!?  Avery has done really well in the water this year.  She is brave as long as she has her goggles and can swim by herself.  She has a beautiful back crawl!

COLORS!  We heard that Colors would be playing at Festival Days in Farmington and had to go…the girls loved the music and dancing.  Their songs have been requested as driving music ever since!  The NeW GeNeRatiOn of Colors fans!

The 24th of July Parade, downtown SLC.  As much as I hate it, it does pay off to have Stephen and his family sit, stand, sweat and sleep snooze stay awake all night guarding their territory downtown for great front row seats.

Well, that’s about it!  Next month we are off to East Canyon with The Schaff Clan and then to Bear Lake with the Jensen’s.  Maybe somewhere along the way I will get to lazily dream!
