Summer Delight

It has been such a great summer so far! I'm pretty sure Holdyn is in heaven this summer!!

Skateboarding...














Swinging...

Digging...

Mowing... He pretends to edge the lawn "Like Daddy and Uncle Carter!"...

Riding the mountain board...

And Kiting with the big boys!

He plays with his cousins 2 days during the week, one of those days he's at Amber's house running around with Jordan and his friends when he's not playing Petshops with Maddy. He gets Daddy to himself 2 days during the week and his grandma all to himself on Fridays. Saturdays are Mommy/Holdyn day. We swim, nap, clean, color, watch Barney, and play play play! He is one loved little boy!

We have been loving Grandma's pool this year! Holdyn is a swimming maniac and can't go more than a couple days without swimming. He jumps off the diving board now too!

We had a little visitor swim with us for a few hours one day...

We've had lots of friends come play at the pool with us. Mostly this cute pair...

Grace and Holdyn swim swim swim and I get to catch some rays while holding sweet little Brody. It's just about perfect :)

We went to the Draper Days Parade for the first time this year and it was so fun! I think this might be a new tradition because Holdyn had a blast asking for candy...

We've floated the Provo every Sunday for the last month and it really is such a great time! I've finally figured the river out for the most part so I'm not terrified anymore :) Thanks to my mom & dad for taking Holdyn on Sundays so Cory and I can play!

I am so grateful that my mom thoroughly enjoys having Holdyn and he can't get enough of her; plus, he gets to play with his aunties who love having him just as much as his grammy :)

Holdyn has been "camping" with Grandma and Grandpa and his aunties! He thinks he can do anything Grace can do...

We did it!

He thinks camping is the funnest thing ever!

Until he has to leave :(

Holdyn has been to some friends' birthday parties and he absolutely LOVES being around other kids!

We had his friends Carrera and JayLynn and their parents over for a little firework party and Holdyn thought fireworks were even better when he could "talk" about them with his friends :) He is going to have so much fun in preschool next year... ahhh!
I can't even think about him going to school :(

Speaking of fireworks, our schedules finally cleared up by the 24th and we were able to go see fireworks somewhere besides our front lawn. We sat on the grass at Sandy Amphitheater and watched the fireworks across the valley. Then it was time for the big show at Rio Tinto stadium! It was so nice to have plenty of space for Holdyn to run around and we were able to get right home after the fireworks. I love that our anniversary is right around firework time...
it's so romantic!

Last weekend we had a Glitter Toes party! Jamie is now doing glitter toes and while she made all of our toes pretty, I got to take care of sweet little Brody...

Holdyn was very interested in what we were all doing to our toes. He loved helping his Aunt Jamie :) Don't tell Dad!

So if you want toes as cute as mine...Email Jamie at jamers316@hotmail.com and she will make your toes cuter than you've ever seen them!

It's been a delightful summer!
