Summer Memories #2

 We celebrated the 4th with fireworks at Mamie's house with cousins.


Finished swim lessons for the summer, the kids did very well! Here they're climbing the wall before a lesson.


Water balloon fight with cousins



The girls did a group number for their summer recital.


And just hanging out together.




Jumping in the rain.

Sometimes cousins make the best of friends. Ginger and Beckham made a little clubhouse behind Mamie's couch and called it the French-Chinese Club (gotta love immersion programs).


I know one day I'll be missing the times when these two could just sit and talk about nothing together.

Summer Memories

 Our kids just up to their usual antics...

Saratoga Springs Temple open house



We love our huge tree.


Jaxon was finally able to play the role of engineer at Space Camp- his favorite, for obvious reasons. 


We went to Bear Lake for a quick Talbot reunion. It rained the first day, but then it was beautiful the next.
Playdates with cousins at Mamie's house.

More cabin time, more hikes. The girls like collecting flowers and sticking them in their Camelbacks. 


Talmage Turns 2!

We've got a 2 year old! Crazy how fast this little boy is growing. Talmage loves trucks and excavators, food and playing with old school Little People. ;)


He's gone a little dirty blonde this summer which I never ever imagined any of my children getting close to, but apparently Travis was also blonde for a few summers as a small kid, so there you go.

He still doesn't say much other than "mama, Dada, uh huh, no" and a few grunts, but that's not surprising for our kids. He's very determined and enjoys his independence, yet loves to get involved in whatever his older siblings are up to. We love our little "Tal Tal".
