We have already made some wonderful memories this summer and the great weather has helped! Gregg and I were able to have a super fun bocce ball date in the middle of the court one afternoon while Kaylen took a marathon nap (monitor close by!)! Also, the student apartment bought these little houses above for the kids. We went out to BBQ one evening and there weren't any other kids in it, so Kaylen had a ball her first time inside! The little doorbell actually dings! She loved it!
The downtown farmer's market is awesome! We've always thought so, but this year, it got even better! They have spread out a bit and now there is music!! We sat down and had a little lunch listening to a little blues band. Again, it was a gorgeous day to enjoy the weather and the farmer's market!
Gregg picked out some Chinese food for us to share for lunch. It appears as though Kaylen might be taking after her drummer Daddy with the chopsticks! If she's anything like her Daddy, she's going to be great!
As mentioned before, June is a huge birthday month! Our friends Jason and Ali celebrated both their birthdays in June and had a combined get together. It's always fun to get Kaylen together with her pal Dane. Although, they always seem to manage to find the ice!
Last Friday night, Gregg had to work a graveyard, so Kaylen and I got out of the apartment on Saturday so Daddy could nap. The court/ local ward was headed up to Pineview Reservoir for a camp out the night before and invited us up for the day. We got to go for a really nice boat ride and I even went tubing with my friend, Cheryl! It was a lot of fun and Kaylen enjoyed the water!
Here is our little peanut enjoying the beach and the water. I'm hoping to get her to more water as the summer goes on! Any chance to get that cute bod in a bathing suit!
Our friends, Carissa and Casey, are getting married on July 31st!! Unfortunately, we're going to miss the weekend because it's one day after we leave for Australia :-( We are super bummed, it's going to be an amazing wedding. This last Saturday, I got to go to Carissa's bridal shower and it was so so so much fun. Her friend put on such a great shower and we had a little gals night out at a bar close by after! I guess I had my dancing shoes on! Kaylen and Daddy got to have a little time together, which was also nice.
Downtown, there is a gorgeous building called the City and County Building. It is right next to the downtown library. There are quite a few festivals there in the summer and this summer, we finally went to our first one! We went to the Utah Arts Festival! It's a great place for people who have money to spend. Unfortunately, we don't, but they had some amazing art and some really good music! They had a little toddler play area where Kaylen got to run around! She had this alligator all figured out!
Gregg usually has to work Monday nights, but this last Monday, he didn't have to, so he was able to play his first softball game of the summer! It was about 97 degrees, but Kaylen and I sat in the shade and watched Daddy play!! He did GREAT! He had some great hits and some great catches! They won 10-5! It was a lot of fun for him to get out there and for us to watch!
Here's a picture of Daddy and his little girl after the big win!! We are both always so proud of him. While we're talking of pride, I will provide a little update as to the MCAT as most of you know he took it in May. He ended up not doing as well as he would've liked. It's so hard to believe because he did so incredibly well in all his classes and all the practice tests, it just didn't make sense that the score wasn't what we were hoping for. We know how hard he worked and how much he knows. We are so very proud of him. He will be taking it again in September after we get back from Australia to improve his score. Thanks for all your ongoing thoughts and prayers as he took it this last time! Please keep them coming as he's back to the studying grind hoping to improve his score by a bit! We are super grateful for our family and friends and all of your support.
