4th of July at Scheels

 We went to Scheels for my first time on the 4th.  Nick needed new shoes, so we explored and shopped.  Pretty fun store. 

 Cash LOVED the fish tank!

 And so did Liv.

 I love watching the big brothers hang out with Cash and be excited with him. 

 Melts a mommy's heart!

 Someone's gotta pick the bears nose once in a while! Thanks Nick

 Natalie hanging out with Abe!

Swim lessons with Fancy Nancy

 Liv had swim lessons at our favorite swim teacher Miss Nancy.  

Liv affectionately calls her Fancy Nancy.  Liv talks about how fancy her yard is with all the pretty flowers.  She also loves all the princess toys she gets to swim with.

 She helped Liv feel much more comfortable in the water and by the end of the summer Liv was swimming on her own.  I am sure if we lived somewhere where we could swim all year, she would be doing even better, but hopefully next year she will really get it figured out!

Olivia at the Dentist

 Olivia had her first visit to the Dentist and had her teeth cleaned.   She was a little nervous about it, but the assistant was so good with her.  She got to try on the gloves, and see how all the tools worked before they actually used them.  No cavities!  Good Job Liv!

Olivia's Turn

 Olivia was a little sad that she didn't get to go to the USA game with us, so we took her to the next REAL game with us.  Date night with Mom and Dad! 

 She was a little spoiled!

Getting Started on the Yard

 We have been anxiously awaiting the delivery of rocks to get the yard started!  Finally they arrived and the workers came to build the stairs out front. 

Cash was pretty excited too!  He saw giant boulders to climb! 

Bear Lake Round 1

The first time up to the lake this year we got to take the Bradley cousins up.  The Lake was pretty cold still in early June, but somehow that never stops the kids!  Cash loved playing in the sand and could have played for hours just digging as long as plenty of snacks were involved too. 

Cash and Goldy

The girls kept making little swimming pools in the sand to play in and Cash thought it was great too.

Liv took a nice little nap on the beach.  That is one of my favorite things too, but hasn't happened in a long time!

Check out those muscles!

Say Cheese!

GO USA!

 When we heard that USA was playing Honduras at Rio Tinto, we decided we should go.  The kids had to earn their tickets and it took them almost up to the last day to do it!  But they worked hard, and were able to go.  It was so much fun to be there cheering for the USA Mens Soccer Team.  Made me proud to be an American!
