Life doesn't get much better

Brooklyn loves to swim. Her grandma Marilyn just happened to have a swimming pool so spur of the moment Brooke decided to take a dip. Here she is bearing all in the front yard. Later that day we went to the park and she played on the swings for the first time.

Summer Fun!

Brooklyn has loved every minute of summer. I can't get her out of the water or inside. One weekend in Rexburg we decided to go to the Splash Park with her cousins. She was a little afraid of the other kids and just wanted to put her face in the water at the bottom of the slide. Oh well, what are ya going to do?

Book Club by myself

I decided to start my own book club. This was a great idea because I always get to pick the books. I am trying to read all the classics. This month I am reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. If you have not read this book, it is a must read! It is nothing like they portray. It is a book surprisingly about compassion and love. Check out the rest of the books I have read at the bottom of my blog. I changed the theme of this blog to match the book I am reading.

4th of July

This year was our first 4th of July all by ourselves. Derek had to work but luckily Logan had their fireworks on the 3rd. We sat in the Lowe's parking lot with about half of Logan. Brooklyn loved the fireworks and was mesmerized.

Larry Walker Family Reunion

This year the Larry Walker Family Reunion was at Warm River campground. It started off nice and warm but of course some storms blew in. Brooklyn had a blast. She would have lived in her swimming pool if her mom would have let her. Our theme this year was "Mission Impossible" and as you can see we all look top secret.

Boys Weekend

Derek and his cousin Alan spent the weekend fishing in Island Park. They had a lot of fun and caught some pretty good fish. Of course he missed his beautiful wife and daughter.
