Since summer arrived I have been very busy! I have an especially hard time keeping up with everything during the summer since I spend so much time outside taking care of our yard.
I'm really late posting pictures of Josh's preschool graduation, but oh well. He was such a cute little graduate!
He was lucky enough to be in the same class as his cousin Jordan and buddy Griffin. Griffin lives a few blocks away and they know each other from church.
Josh tried T-ball for the first time. He thought it was great fun and I'd rather watch T-ball over major league baseball any day. These kids are so entertaining to watch since they don't really know what they are doing.
Josh on base with the baseman. You can't convince the basemen that they don't need to stand on top of the base, and sometimes the runners forget to run so you end up with three kids on a base. They all dive for the ball as if it were a football and fight over who gets it. There are kids standing on their heads, coach tripping over kids, and Connor running out to the field to play.
We go up to the Grotto at least once a week and this was our first trip of the summer. I've never seen so much water up there and it was a little scary. Part of the trail was submerged in water because of the heavy spring rain we had.
Melissa and Connor
Grandma and Grandpa come with us a lot. It is so nice to have them a mile and a half away!
Connor absolutely loves being outside. Every time I bring him inside he throws quite the tantrum.
Josh got to go on his first father's and son's camp out. Between work and school Gary usually misses it, but this year he was finally able to take Josh and they both had a great time. I sort of forgot that one of the tent poles was broken, but Gary was able to figure that out once they got to their camping spot. He had to improvise, and did a pretty good job considering.
We also got to go on a ward camp out and that was a lot of fun. That was Connor's first camp out and he loved it. It's been a while since we've been able to go camping but hopefully we'll get more camping in this summer.
