We are in full swing of summer now!
Which means Lizzie wears her dressups all day everyday unless, she's wearing a swim suit. She loves playing with her cousins.
Grandma Shields made salt dough and had the kids design their favorite B of M story out of dough.  The kids liked this activity and had fun thinking of ways to create their story.

Isaac is struggling with staying up late, not sleeping in - this results in him throwing a massive fit about 3:00 in the afternoon and then falling asleep on my bed or in the car.  This day he had a few friends over for a water play date and then fell asleep after they all left.  He's a challenging five year old boy, with lots of personality!

We hiked to Enisgn Peak one day this week. The weather was perfect, nice and cool.  The kids loved hiking, and even Lizzie wanted to walk instead of riding in her backpack.  She is very stubborn and determined, so she was carried in my arms a lot of the way, while I had the backpack on my back. She insisted on wearing a ballerina outfit on the hike, What a little diva!

These are pics of Lizzie reading.  She looks at books and then says "I reading" and explains everything that she is reading!

Saturday was a fun day, we went to American Fork for the Ukelele festival.
Taylor performed at the Open-Mic competition.  It was all adults except him and one other  boy. Taylor played
"Here Comes The Sun" by the Beatles and he took 3rd place!!!

He won a ukelele and had a lot of fun!  Taylor really loves playing the ukelele and practiced his song so much in preparation for the competition.  He has only been playing for one year, and has made a ton of improvement. He is talented in music.

He did great, we are all so proud of him!

Another busy, fun week of summer break.
