Millie was so determined to swim. She has practiced and practiced and she can swim! She isn’t great at it but she is good at it. She can do the diving board and dive down and get the rockets and she just loves the water! She loves to flip and spin. She looks like she’s doing water gymnastics! Now I’ve got to teach her to put her face in and to side breath.
Breakfast in Bed and Gifts from the kids! Ben is such a good dad. The kids all adore him and his teasing. He asks a lot of them but they seem to like it in a weird way and never want to let him down. The kids all made cards and tried to get out of the mandatory Foot Rub.
After church Ben made a LOAD of fried Chicken and I made a LOAD of Potatoes and we had Father Richard Nettesheim over for dinner. All of the other Nettys wanted to be with the Father so we had the whole crew over for a fun family dinner.
The adults chatted inside while the kids played dodgeball out back.
Later that night I finally called my Dad. During the week I fixed my leaky fridge and my hot tub that wouldn’t heat. I called and asked my dad for tips of course but I always feel like I should be able to fix things because that’s what my dad always did.
We packed the van and went Camping Friday night! Just Ben and I and the kids and the dog. We had a BLAST. The kids are getting so OLD and FUN!
We checked out the campsite and then set up camp. We had Tin Foil Dinners and Cookies and Smore’s! We all slept in our big tent together!!! even the dog 🙂
In the morning we had cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. We enjoyed the fire and explored camp a little more. We played in the hammock and started taking down camp.
After packing up we headed down to a little pond and spent lunch time there hanging out and digging in the sand and throwing the football and frisbee and we did some good people watching.
Liz, Ella, and Tommy came on Wednesay evening and stayed until Friday morning! We had lots of fun just hanging out. We HAD to get KONG KONES and we had all the Utah Peops over. Mad and Lil came Thursday night and they had a big bike race. Cousins are the Best!
PLAYING BASKETBALL FOR 15 MINUTES IS ONE OF THE activities on the kids list for the summer. We’ve never played so much bball in our lives! I LOVE IT 🙂
We still love our RSL games! It’s great just being at the game together. Meeting up with Michelle, Udine, Pete, Amanda, Matt, Jamie OR whoever else might show up!
Quincy turns 3! Erica and kids, Becca and kids, Hillary and kids and us 🙂
Erica invited us to Quincy’s swim party at her neighbor’s house! The POOL was AMAZING. The kids jumped and dove and did the slide and just swam their hearts out. Quincy wouldn’t get out of the pool for pizza or presents but we couldn’t blame her!
Amanda and Jamie offered to take the kids to East High! Benji, Cali, Rose, Ray and Millie all wanted to go! They had a blast with their cousins – acting and singing!
Alex, Lily, Cody and Diego all graduated from Highschool this year! We got together on a Sunday night and celebrated!
We went and visited the Provo Temple on a Sunday afternoon! We caught all of the Rose’s in bloom!!
