Playing catch up...

So, I definitely haven't blogged in a while and my excuse was that nothing exciting has really happened this summer, but after looking at some of my pictures I realize there are just some things I can't believe I didn't write about...

Grandma B came for a visit in June and we did so many things...the zoo, swimming, and picnics, but the thing Jacob remembers the most was the SLC Bees game where the first baseman threw him the first ball of the game.





A picture of Jacob with his ball.








Jacob loves to be like his dad in anyway that he can...especially when it comes to wearing ties





















Jacob got to be in the Days of "47" children's parade this year ( the largest in the country) Wade got to march with the kids too. They both had to wear white shirts and jeans (in 97 degree weather) and pretty sunshine crowns which unfortunately I did not get a picture of because of uncooperative children. Wade was soooo cute in his little crown!!!









Jacob has started swimming lessons about a week ago. He is terrified of the water and we are not really sure why, so we were hoping that the lessons would help. So far, he will at least get in the water at class, but he cries most of the time with the teacher. On the other hand, when he gets in the pool with his dad, we have been able to get him to go under water and jump in the pool, kick his legs and blow bubbles, we are hoping he will do the same for the teacher on Monday so we don't look like slacker parents. Anyways we got him some goggles and Anna loves to wear them, as soon as you put them on her she starts to giggle.















I think by now you know that Jacob is a huge baseball fan and he is always coming up with baseball gear to wear, the most recent is his obsession with the catcher and likes to use a baseball glove as his catchers mask...kids are so funny and so creative.

















A little more about Anna...


She has her 4 front teeth now and took her first timid step about 2 days ago. It wasn't much but she is on her way. She is still so funny and so sweet. My favorite part about her is how much she love to play with her brother, they are getting to be such good friends.







We cant believe there is only one more moth of summer left. Pretty soon Wade will be doing his MBA and working full time, so we will never see him again, and little Jacob will be starting preschool... where has all the time gone. This is the first time in a long time that I will be sad to see summer end.
