Bits and Pieces of Summer

This has been a great summer for the kiddo and I. We've done a lot of things, and we're both growing and progressing in unexpected ways. Here's just a BIT of the fun we've been having:

We went to Red Butte Gardens with our friend Benson and the boys managed to start a few water fights...... some of them still live on to this day.

Benson and I went to Energy Solutions Arena for the 2011 NBA Draft party. Part of me was hoping for the Jazz to get Jimmer, but it wasn't meant to be and Sacramento snatched him up. Not that you can see, but that's him on the screen right as he's chosen.

The moment it was announced that Alec Burks would be coming to Salt Lake.

We took a mini road trip down to Manti for the temple pageant, and as everyone knows, road trips require yummy snacks. This was the tower of colby pepper jack (yes they make such a delicious thing), on a Triscuit and topped with a blueberry.

I'm slightly intimidated that he can work it better than I can, but I'll get over it.

Fireworks at Sugarhouse Park on the 4th of July

Britt came to visit and gifted the kiddo with a Slip N Slide.

We've since renamed it the Slip N Throw N Slide cuz once Britt helped with the momentum, the kiddo wanted it to continue.

Cherries picked from Britt's friend Chris's backyard tree.

Thankfully we've had rain on and off all summer and the mountains are still holding onto the green! I love it!

The kiddo and I went to a movie in the park down in the valley, and prior to the feature they had a live reptile show. The kiddo said he wanted to go pet the Albino Burmese Python, so even though the thought made me squirm, we did it!

This was an attempt to make food more fun. I'm not sure I'm a fan of hot dogs in mac and cheese (un-American, I know), but it was fun to put together!

Gigi bought the kiddo a new suit, and he's been so excited to wear it every Sunday to church.

I'm totally in love with the purple tie.... and the kiddo who wears it!
