Summertime!


It wouldn't be summer without swimsuits and lemonade stands!  Mackenzie is always in her suit.  She loves to play in the water and if there is any chance she might get wet she goes and puts her swimming suit on.



In between selling Lemonade and otter pops she took some breaks to jump through the sprinklers.  Cameron took the Lemonade stand very seriously!  His friend came over to play with him and I asked him it he was done with the stand....I could put it all away so he could go play.  He said no way, if Jayden wants to play today he can help me with the lemonade stand.   And that is what they did!  I think he was out there until I finally made him be done at 5:00!  


Water balloons for sale



This started out as me filling water balloons and the kids having fun throwing them and having a water fight.  Then it evolved into Cameron's little entrepreneur brain saying "hey let's sell some water balloons!"  So we filled and tied more balloons and he got bowls to put them in.  Several popped as Mackenzie re-arranged them to coordinate colors etc.  Then after awhile I went inside to get my camera,  when I came back Mackenzie was sitting her all by herself.  She said "Cameron told me he was going to go around to some doors and tell people we are selling water balloons.  and he told he to sit here incase we got some business....so I am supposed to keep running the business right now."   Hilarious!

Quick summer trip


We try to get to St. George at least once a year.  It's a nice little vacation, close and convenient.  The kids love to go there.  Mackenzie get so excited to go to the "hotail" and they think St. George is great!


Mackenzie and Cameron watching cartoons waiting to go to the pool.  It was like 7:00 am and we told them they had to wait at least another hour!  So they were all ready to go LOL!


We spent a lot of time at the pool.  It was super hot down there and the kids love to swim!


 Mackenzie wanted me to take a picture of her after I got her ready.  I painted her nails, and she put on some of my make up.  We were headed to dinner :)


Seriously, this picture cracks me up!  We were in the middle of eating dinner.  Cameron fell asleep!  He is still holding his piece of meat that he was eating as he fell asleep.  When the waitress came around to refill our drinks, we said "what do you put in the meat around here, some sort of sleeping pill?"  She looked down and laughed.  The best part about this is he fell asleep last time we were here last year....same restaurant!  Too much swimming and being in the hot sun I guess?!?



Peek a boo!


Doesn't get much cuter than this!  Jeremy helped Kenzie climb up the big rock and then he couldn't reach her anymore, so Cameron came and grabbed her hand to help her up.  He is such a sweet and helpful big brother.  He really does love his sister!

Mommy and Kenzie trying to get in some shade for a minute!



This was one of my favorite trip to St. George so far.  The kids are old enough to hike around and actually enjoy it!  We had fun exploring and enjoying the red rock.
