Random Summer pics

Here are the girls on their last day of swim lessons. They turned on all the cool water features of the pool for the last 15 min. The swimming lessons were great (Cheap too... which makes it even better) Hallie cried the whole entire 1/2 hour for the first couple days... then it slowly got better. Maddy my little fish, loved it. She started swimming by herself a week after we moved in and started swimming in our pool. I still put her in lessons because I wanted her to get some better coaching then just what Travis and I know. Hallie can now swim by herself too. It took all summer, but she has turned into a great little swimmer.



Ring around the Otter, Pockets full of water, Splashes, splashes we all go under.


We Officially have a mini van now. It arrived 2 weeks before I delivered Olivia. Just in time!! We had it shipped to us from Dallas. No good deals on mini vans here in AZ. I love it by the way!


So, here I am 13 days before I delivered Olivia. Travis threw me a Surprise B-day party. ( Not quite a surprise to me... keep trying sweetie. Someday you'll be able to keep it all a secret). Anyway, it was really sweet. He bought all the food and had these two girls pictured above help out. It was a lot of fun! These two girls are (left) Wendy Brown, and (right) Tiffany Toronto. They are the wives of Travis' mission buddies. Tiffany lives in our neighborhood and Wendy is not too far. It was nice to have some friends here as soon as we moved in!


Here are all the guys. Left, Nolynn, Travis, Jesse, and Ryan



Out to dinner for my B-day. Yum, yum




So, my mother in-law and sister in-law introduced me to this produce place in Mesa. All this produce cost me 20 dollars. Let me give you a better idea of what is on the counter. 3 lbs of Strawberries ... 3lbs for $1. 5 Red bell peppers for $1. Two mini water melons... 2 for 1$. Blueberries 2 lbs for a dollar. Pineapples 79 cents each and much much more! Seriously I LOVE this place. Have you ever heard of prices like these? And, the produce is really yummy.


Maddy's first missing tooth. She has another one loose now. Did I already tell this story? Maddy lost her tooth while eating corn on the cob at a neighbors house and we couldn't find it amongst all the corn debris. So, sad that we didn't actually get to keep her first lost tooth. Oh well.
