Wouldn't you know it, this summer just keeps whipping by. Better catch up on what's been going on before we're back to early bedtimes and hitting the books. In June we had a little visit from some of our favorite people - the other Johnsons! We couldn't get over how big the kids have gotten, but they still play just the same. Sofie is still as sweet as ever, and it's nice to get to know Luke a bit better. Klive really took to him and I thought it was so sweet when Klive said, "Mon, Luke," and took him by the hand to his toy box. It's nice to have another guy around to play trucks with.
These are some girly girls, through and through. They all had to wear their slinky princess nightgowns and fancy shoes for a night on the town. In the back yard. We love our Johnson buddies!
Klive has become a water baby this summer. He's been making weekly trips to Nana and Papa's pool in Logan and he now paddles himself around the pool in his water wings without mom's help. He's also a bit of a sun bather. He has also started to strike poses for mom when she breaks the camera out. What a guy!
These ladies are mermaids. They no longer need floaties to get around in the water. We got to do some family swimming at Kolby's work retreat in June. We camped - I mean really camped in a tent, at Heise campgrounds and then hit the pool the next day.
The girls braved the water slide with their dad, and Klive was so tired from his camping experience, that he made a few laps and then fell asleep on mom's lap for the rest of the afternoon.
I got to show the fam around my old stomping ground of Rigby, Idaho. I introduced them to the famous "Bambino" for lunch. If you don't know what that is, I'm sad for you. They are SCRUMPTIOUS! I also let them loose in the toy basement of Kings, the store where I worked when I was in high school. Then we let them climb all over the town's military tank. Until we realized we were at the wrong park and had to make a mad dash to find the rest of the residents. It was a great retreat. I'm a bit nervous, because if Kolby becomes Chief resident next year, I will have to be in charge of organizing it.
I've had a bit of trouble getting this boy to eat anything this summer. I don't know what happened, he just lost his appetite. The only thing he ever asks for is "nacks," or in other words, fruit snacks. The only healthy things he will eat are black beans, string cheese, cucumbers and fruit. So that's what he's been getting a steady diet of.
These "nacks" were a huge hit for our 4th of July celebration. We went to a residency barbecue at the Fenstermaker's and brought these festive jello popcorn sacks. They were gobbled up by kid and adult alike. The kids had a blast playing with all their friends and watching neighborhood fireworks. Sadly, I only got a picture of the nacks. Looks like I've got to change my priorities.
And, last but not least, we finished out t-ball on a high note. Winnie and Klive went to every game and cheered their hearts out for June. Klive really started talking during these last few weeks. He was so funny at the games. I would yell, "Good run Junie!" or "Watch the Ball!" and he would yell the exact same thing right after me. By the end, he was copying everything every parent yelled, and everyone was cracking up. It's a good thing no one had potty mouths!
So there you go - that's half the summer already gone! Whoa baby!
