Time for School

My two older babies started school this week. Aydan started first grade and Sam started preschool. This is the first time Sam has been to any formal school. I think he was nervous the first day but seemed to have a good time and was excited when he got home. Aydan is now gone ALL day. I don't like it at all! I miss him so much, and it makes me sad that he just keeps growing up. But Aydan loves school, always has a smile on his face and loves to learn. We love you Aydan and Sam, my two handsome boys!!

Backpacking

Peter planned a trip to the Uintas Aug 10 - 11. He took Aydan and Dusty (his nephew). He also invited is good friend Mike Handy and his son and his long time friend Brendon Hatch and his son. They hiked about 2 miles to Twin Lakes. They "went" off trail for a little bit. This was a difficult hike for the three young boys and all three were awesome and had a great time.

Swim Time

I can't believe summer is coming to an end. One of our favorite activities is swimming. Aydan has become a great little swimmer and Sam thinks he is a great little swimmer. Good thing we watch Sammers pretty closely. I have seen him fall under the water at least three times! Baby Wyatt takes some time to get use to the water, at first he cries but then he is all smiles. I love swimming in the summer, I absolute hate cold or even slightly cool water. So outdoor pools with warm water is the best!! We are really enjoying this summer and spending a lot of time with our cute boys. I am not ready to let summer go yet.
