Swimming and other stuff

Okay! So for starters on June 13th Sierra finished her rag quilt that she has been working on. Since Savannah finished hers Sierra has wanted to make her own. Grandma found this perfect material that just perfectly fits Sierra. Honestly, the whole thing took her about two days. She did such a great job and it looks beautiful on her bed.





The next big event we had was Father's Day. It was great to have Blake actually here to celebrate with us.


Blake got a racquetball racket and was very excited about it. But really what use is one racket????


That is exactly what I thought when I bought the second one. So really this gift is for me to use, but I could not open it since it was Blake's day. Nothing like getting a gift when it is not even really your day!!!


This gift was from Summit! He loves watching people open his gifts.


This gift unwrapping was hilarious cause Sedona screamed out what it was before Blake had it open cause she was so excited!!! Which got screams from all the other kids and a huge laugh from Blake. By the way, it was an ice cream maker!!!!!!








These are pictures of our Swim-A-Thon! Blake is really enjoying coaching swimming, and the girls are loving having him their. We have 39 kids on our swim team and they are all doing extremely well.

Blake told the swim kids that if any of them swam 200 laps in the two hours, that he would take them to ride go-carts! Apparently that was only enough incentive for our girls. So Blake got to take our three oldest.










They had so much fun together! They were only supposed to ride for about 8 minutes, but since there was no one in line they got to ride for about 20 minutes. They came home raving about how great it was and how we need to go as a family.

These next pictures are of the fun meet we had last Saturday. All the kids and adults got to participate. And the winning teams got prizes.









When Sedona first got into the water by herself she was CLINGING to the side and would never let go.


Then she just barely let go.


And within about two minutes she was completely away from the wall and loving the freedom.


After that we went on a shopping trip.


Summit loved the headphones at Best Buy and was literally dancing in the isle.


Then we went to Sam's Club and spent way too much time and about went crazy. Memo to me: Do not EVER EVER EVER take five kids to Sam's Club on a Saturday, especially when you have a lot of stuff to buy.


After that we were all starving and so we went to one of our favorite restaurants.


Afterwards, Summit must have broken some kind of world record because after stuffing himself with everyones leftover food and announcing to us all that he was stuffed, we got into the van to and within 30 seconds he asks, "Mom, can I have something to eat?" WHAT!?!?!?!? I am convinced there is some kind of stomach emptying chemical emitted from our air conditioning.
