Social Shining Moments of the Summer

 There was Birthday Parties! Alivia turned 4 and our celebration was so fun. The pinata was a definite hit!

 Beach Days (as close as we come to the beach anyway) Paul and Kathy have a beach area by the river that the kids enjoyed digging in.

 Trampoline with the sprinkler - oh what fun to be a child!

 These boys are bound to be buds. They were born 5 weeks apart and live right across the street from each other and their older sisters are already super good friends.

 Another birthday celebration included renting a bounce house and slide at Mary's house. The kids were in heaven.

 The Rupert Fair is quite an attraction. Peyton loved seeing the animals and every time we pass the fair grounds now even though the fair is long over she says, "that's the fair." She had her first cotton candy too at our ward rodeo and thought that was pretty spectacular.

 Of course their was swimming at Paul and Kathy's, the Rupert pool, and at Felicia's in-law's pool. Grant already enjoys the water and Peyton has progressed beautifully, swimming independently with floaties or a tube. Jumping in or going under are no big deal.

 Jet's 1st birthday was pretty special. Pony rides for all. My little horse lover of course loved it!

Cortney and Whitney let us ride horses again too.

 Peyton is blessed with such an amazing group of friends and so am I. We have fun every week doing all kinds of activities together. She has a better social life than any two year old I have ever met.We have had a fantastic summer playing hard and building friendships that are super special!
