I know that summer just started, but man we have been busy!
While Jess and I were in the hospital Kyle branded calves. He had so many people come and help him.....and he got the job done. No one took any pictures so I was glad that we had this little straggler so that I could help brand at least one calf.
We started our little 4-H club last week and for our first activity we rode our bikes to the swimming pool, had a picnic, and then went swimming. Here are all of the kids ready to head out!
Cooling off in the pool
We went on a little camping trip up Huntington Canyon and it was nice to get out and enjoy the mountains.
The kids had a ball playing in their "club"
For the past two weeks Kade and Tyce have been in swimming lessons. Kade has done so well and could swim across the entire length of the pool after just a few days of lessons. Tyce loved it at first and we super fearless until a lengthy swim scared him pretty bad. After that it was kind of hard to get him to swim for every long....but he did really well when he would actually get in a try.

Tyce jumping off the diving board....he loved that!

Finally we attended 4-H camp and once again I wasn't impressed.....but Kade loved it and was front and center for every presentation. Here they are listening about different types of bugs.
Tyce liked looking at the bugs too. He's funny!
The coolest part about camp was the little bug catchers that they made.....you would put your tube near a bug and suck it up throw the straw. Kade caught a few aunts and was thrilled.
So our summer has started out with a bang. He can't wait for more fun activities!
The next morning we woke up, ate breakfast, and then took a little dip in the hotel pool. Next we went to the Fiesta fun center and we rode bumper boats, go carts, and we played in the arcade. Kade and I had a blast squirting Kyle and Tyce.
Jess is just cute huh!
After the Fiesta Fun center we went to "Cars 2" at the 3D theater. My boys have been waiting so long to see it and Kade loved every minute of it. After the movie we decided to head down to Mesquite to stay another night. When we got their the boys just had to go bowling.
And it was so hot so we took another dip in the hotel pool
It was so nice to getaway for a little while. We have been really busy with farming and cows and since we got them on the mtn a little getaway was just what we needed. Here we are a few days earlier up on East Mountain fixin fence before the cows went up.
After fixing fence we headed down to the arena for the annual Castle Dale Days kids rodeo. This year Kade decided to do a little Muttin Bustin. I was so proud of my little cowboy for being so tough. Here he is getting ready.
This is just a silly picture of Kade. He went upstairs, spiked his hair up, put on some shades, and then walked around the house like this:
