Summer in a Nutshell (No, Really!)

St George

 Baseball
(Maybe next time he could give me a little more warning before snapping.)

Lots of Bear Lake
(Aaaa, squish squish.  I love her.)

Paris Ice Caves

Sprinklers

Splash Pad

Tractors

More Tractors/Cache County Fair
(Yeah, they might look a little alike)

Attacking Loving On Daddy 
(Loving on Mommy not shown-attacking each other also not shown)

Smores



Baking

Park City 
(Cam & Mark on the Alpine Slide)

Bus Rides
(On our way to Swiss Days in Midway)
(PS There were so many people there we couldn't move between booths)
(PPS At least we got to ride the bus)



TV Time

We had a great summer, and there's lots of things I didn't take pictures of.  For instance, I don't take pictures when I think my kids are being brats, or when I'm being a brat.  Mark's never a brat which sometimes ticks me off more than if he had been one.

It's a different challenge than I ever thought it would be to get my kids to share and I think we all have some scars from our many adventures of learning this concept this summer.  Who knew that a little girl with such a beautiful smile could suddenly turn into something resembling Sharp Tooth from Land Before Time when she's coming at you with those chompers.  I'll tell you who knows.  Cameron, that's who.  Now, if he'd have the attention span to remember this before he takes all her toys away.  

Well, I won't share all the juicy details of our summer because remember, this is supposed to be a nutshell.  Suffice it to say, though, we are still here and kickin' and living it up.  Hope you all survived the heat and had a great summer!

Happy Summer and Cheers to Autumn!

  3. Love your quick version of summer! I love all the pictures! You make me laugh so much and especially love the comment about Mark not being a brat. I totally understand! Why do you think I used to beat him up so badly? :) I love your family!
