Summer, Sun, and Swimming Lessons

So this post should have come before the one that was up previously, but hey all well that ends well. The summer went by way too fast and we feel like we didn't do a lot, but going through our pictures we have a ton to show all of you. A lot of different events happened this summer and all of them made it so fun to be at. We hope you enjoy the pictures that we were able to take!!!
Daisy enjoying the BIG slide. If you look close you'll be able to see the big smile/laugh on her face! She really loved going down that slide over and over again. Sharifa would have to run to stay up with her!!!Daisy taking on the Buzz Lightyear Slip-N-Slide with Daddy. Trying on her own. She was very brave. Ethan wouldn't come close to it! Playing in the little pool of water at the end. We were in Brigham to see them put the Angel Moroni on the new temple. It got way too windy and cold so we decided to leave and then they decided to put it up. We weren't able to be there to see that once in life time experience :(! Oh well, we'll just go to the open house! Daisy just loves the water, once she gets used to it. We couldn't ever get her out without having her scream bloody murder! Daisy and Dad done swimming. Ethan wasn't feeling very well that night. He cuddled up with Grandma Colleen. Daisy loved playing in the sprinkler. She is our little water baby!! Daisy getting closer to the sprinkler, silly girl! Aunt Becky's baby shower. Spending the day at home, out back in our own swimming pool. We need to get a little bigger pool cause we can't fit all the KIDS ;D in it!! We have a fun little slide that Daisy loved to slid down into the water. Ethan making new friends at Kandice's wedding. (From left to right) Becky Reeder, Kandice Howard, Sharifa Phillips. We were all good friends growing up in Idaho Falls and were able to go to Kandice's wedding which turned out to be so great! We hope that Kandice and Chris have a very happy time together and that all will be great for them in the future! Sharifa's Birthday. Ethan helping Mommy get her wish fulfilled. We went to 7 peaks in Salt Lake with some friends of ours and we had a lot of fun with them and together!! We will have to go again when the kids are a little older cause it was a ton of fun, but there wasn't very many slides that the kids could go on, but it was a great idea to go with our friends so that there were some adults watching the kids while two adults went on a slide or two. We all had a very enjoyable time!! Thanks Jared, Michelle, and Hadley!!! Introducing Sophia Afton Reeder. She was born a day after Sharifa's birthday. It was fun to go down to see her and hold her! Mommy and Baby! How cute are these two girls!!!! Sharifa made this blanket and is so excited about how it turned out. It was supposed to be made for when Daisy was born, so it's a little late (about a year and a half). Here's the other side. Ethan starting out his Swimming lessons.We weren't going to put Daisy in swimming, but we sure are glad we changed our minds cause she really loved getting into the water. She really is our little water baby. Every day when we got to the pool she would run to the water no matter how deep it was. What a crazy little girl!!!Ethan working on his kicks. Daisy enjoying the slide! At the end and having so much fun!!! Getting ready to jump in.Mommy and daisy Enjoying the water! Ethan going down the slide for free time!
