Fun in the Sun......

The last few days have been amazing weather. We have had a great time enjoying the sunshine and being outside. The weather started off nice on Thursday of last week and we started off the weekend right having a pizza party on our porch with our friends the Reynolds. The kids played and had a great time driving their cars around.Issy and Wyatt driving her jeep around


A cute picture I got of the Reynolds newest addition, Talmage. I loved this picture!

The next day, we woke up to pure sunshine, not a cloud in the sky. Jen and I wipped out the little pools and filled them up with water for the girls. This was our fun tradition last summer and is continuing this summer.:)Issy and Taylor

That night, Ty and I got to go out on a date. We went with a bunch of couples from our ward to see Brian Regan at Marymoor Park. He is a great comedian. We had a great time at dinner beforhand with the Reynolds and Olsons and although we didn't sit by everyone else, we got to see the Simons, Hastings, Howells, and Shaws briefly as well. Overall I know that we all enjoyed the show!Mr. Brian Regan himself!:)

Saturday we woke up again to blazing hot weather. Issy and I went outside again and I got some great shots of her playing in the water.

After playing in the heat for a while and running some errands, the Hadleys joined us in the heat of our home to play some Ticket to Ride. This has become one of our favorite games to go along with Settler of Catan and Carcasson. We had a great time playing even though we were fighting to stay cool. Sunday we had a nice day at church, watching the Euro Championship Game and going to the Lathrops for some dinner. Yesterday, we rounded out our fun in the sun weekend by breaking down and getting a air conditioner. Ty and I couldn't handle the heat anymore. I can say that today it has been much more cool in our house.

This is just the beginning of the summer and I can't wait for many more sunny days to enjoy. I know they won't last forever!

I am happy for you that the sun is shining in Seattle. When it's great weather there - there is no prettier place. I hope it stays a while.. :-) Happy Sunny Day in Seattle.
