June adventures

Well here are some fun things, and some interesting things that happened over the last month or so..... The week after we came back from Yellowstone, Ivan had an accident at work and cut his cornea. Luckily the cornea is something that heals quickly, and Ivan was feeling better within a few days. Then....just as he started feeling better he and Jacob came down with influenza A. The doctor said it was most likely swine flu because influenza A is not common at this time of year. So...they treated Jacob, Ivan and I (even though I tested negative) and within a week we were pretty much back to normal.

Jacob loves swimming sooo.... we go quite often. Usually several times a week.

One night after going swimming Jacob and I were cold, so we made a "hot tub" in the bath tub. I love his gleeful look in this picture.

We went down to Ephraim to the Manti pagaent and stayed in a beautiful restored home that was over 100 years old.

This is Jacob and grandma playing air hockey as we waited for Jenny to arrive for her suprise birthday party. He loves air hockey!

Jacob has a "date" with Grandma, Ben, and Jenny every week for the summer. They take him to fun places. He has a great time, and he and grandma have bonded very quickly. Today when she went to leave to go home, he put his arms out for grandma to hold him, and then he gave me a kiss and waved good-bye. He thought he was going home with grandma. He sure loves his grandparents.

One week they went to Lagoon. It's crazy to think that I used to fit in one of those little dolphins : )

One week they went to the Wheeler Farm.

Today, I joined in and we went to the Discovery Museum at the Gateway. That place is so fun! Jacob loved playing in the water station, going rock climbing, launching balls through the vaccuum tube, going in the real helicopter.... It was a blast.

I'll have to get a pic. soon of Jacob and Ivan riding the bike together. Ivan got a really nice bike for Father's Day, and we were given a great bike trailer/stroller by one of my mom's friends whose kids had outgrown it. We love going to Liberty Park now by bike or even running there.

Here are a couple cute family pics that Amber did for us.
