Summer is the best time of the year!

"Summer really is the best time of year"!!! I love it!! Even though it is hard to get out of the house with a little baby and toddler, we try our hardest. One of these next years we will leave happy valley for some fun...but for now Logan is the happen en' place for the McClellan's. Here is a peek at the last couple of weeks.


-Davin is growing up so quicky....I am HATING how my baby is growing up so fast. I LOVE him and want him to stay small forever...YET..can't wait for him to grow up and see him in all of the fun stages. I always think that the next stage is so fun....I GUESS THAT THEY ALL ARE! My great friend let me borrow her bumbo and Davin is really enjoying it! What a cutie!!

-Last week we went to Bear lake again with Aaron's family and cousins. Tate got on the boat for the first time in his life and LOVED it. We always enjoy the beach and take most of it home with us in the truck. Davin enjoys the naps!


-This last weekend we had our McClellan family reunion. I love all of Aaron's cousins sooo much. We always have so much fun!! I was really looking forward to all of the activity's planned..but then it was FREAKEN' cold!!! We still had a fun time, but it was kinda a bummer to not get to do the summer fun things...OHH well...it was still loads of fun. I am bummed that I didn't get any pictures of anything this year. BUT late one evening after the reunion, all of Aaron's siblings and us went mini golfing. It was cold, but we really had a blast.....and Tate was pretty darn good at it too!


-Tate has enjoyed playing out in the yard! If dad is home, he is always with him. Fixing mowers, washing the cars...etc. When Tate is outside he has a thing with licking everything!! Yes....It is soo gross..but he IS a boy! He sucks on the rocks in our gravel drive and sometimes even licks the driveway. UGH. Last year I probably would have freaked, but this year my hands are full with another little boy...I really don't worry. He hates getting dirty in the house, and makes me wipe his hands when he gets anything on them....but outside is another story. He gets dirty! I just have to laugh and take it all in, he is getting big and he wont be my little adventuresome boy forever. HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU THAT I LOVE MY BOYS?



-One of my favorite things this summer is Wednesday nights. A bunch of the girls in the ward get together to go the water aerobics. I have not missed a Wed. night yet. Some nights we have a dozen or more, other times just a hand full. I enjoy the exercise about as much as the social aspect of it. One night a few of us even went to get a frosty (I know...I know...not good after exercising) but then we went to people watch at the new Walmart and the car stalled and we were in our swim suits...talk about People watching US!! haa haa funny times!

-We enjoy the grass and being outside....the other week the wind was blowing and we wanted to fly a kite...but didn't have one...So we made our own. Tate LOVED it! He is at such a fun age, we love his spuncky personality!


- BBQ's holy cow....we have gone on so many BBQ's and LOVE them. Summer=warm=perfect time of the year!! Wish I hadn't forgotten my camera for a bunch of them. Ohh and our new fetish is our homemade ice cream maker...we have enjoyed making all sorts of different flavors. YUM!!

Thanks to all of our great friends that make our lives so wonderful! See ya in awhile!

Looks like you have been playing a lot. I just told Mike we need to make that same kite, Blake would love that. I want to come to water aerobics next week. When can we have a BBQ with you guys?

Fun summer stuff! I wish summer was over so we could go outside. :) It'll be perfect in October. I can't believe that Tate doesn't like to get dirty inside, but he doesn't care outside. That's so funny! Cute little guys!

Clayton and Heidi said...

You guys have been busy!!! Summer is awesome too bad it rained most of june.

Don't you know that the reason we exercise is to EAT ice cream???

Water aerobics looks so fun. Dang me and my laziness this year. I love the bumbo! I am going to need to make myself a purchase!
