We have had a ton of fun!!! Of course, there's always the falls that come with being outdoors. (he really fell backwards and into the bucket and was stuck!)
We put new sod in our backyard (I laid more than half of it by myself, 5 months prego! I really had no choice! It needed to be done and there was nobody there to do it but me.) and the kids are enjoying it with grandpa. We don't just throw water in water fights, we through the whole cup! 
We've had a trip to Bear Lake. Fun in the windy, partly-cloudy sun!!
We've been to the zoo. This particular time was fun because Lanece and Griffin came with us. It was his first time to a zoo. He didn't know what to think of all the animals, but like all boys (and I guess all kids for that matter), loved it!!
Lanece and Griffin came and stayed with us for a whole month!!! It was the best month of summer so far!! (and no good plans for the end of summer, so I guess they win)
This is the first thing we did when school got out for summer. The very next day after the last day of school, Tayten was baptized... finally!! We tell people he was so naughty that we had to wait a while to baptize him. The truth of the matter? I was too sick to plan anything until now. He didn't mind having to postpone for a few months. He was a good sport. He says that he feels so different now that he's baptized. Like he can feel something with him all of the time. He says that it makes him happy. We're glad he knows to look for those feelings.
We attended Spencer's baseball games. He played for the Phillies this year. They actually started out ranked the lowest, and ended up going to championships and got 2nd place!! (The team they played in the finals was undefeated, obviously they won 1st) They did great and Spence is really learning the sport!!There have been plenty of other things going on this summer. Lunches at the elementary, swimming at the rec center and to Gateway with grandma, aunts and cousins, bike rides, walks, seeing Eclipse a few times, and having the premiere party before-hand, other great movies that we've taken the kids to or rented at redbox, Jonny and I going to Phoenix for our last trip to school, rearranging bedrooms so that we can get a room ready for baby, birthdays, working in the veggie garden, picking cherries and apricots, watching our pumpkins grow and getting excited to pick them for Halloween, the boys have been very much into street hockey, they went and bought hockey sticks at the DI with their own money, staying up late and sleeping in (and on and on and on..)!!!
Best of all, Jonny got a new job!!! He is so far enjoying every minute of it, and I am enjoying the normal Mon-Fri schedule. He has decided to stay at [B]Lowe's part-time, just until we get the things we need to finish up our home projects, and then he's out of there!! And even if we don't get done before the baby comes, he'll still leave by then!! New chapter opening up for us! We'll let ya all know how it goes....
In the meantime, a few more weeks of summer and then we'll have a 4th grader, a 3rd grader, a kindergartner and a preschooler. Shortly after that, a newborn!!
Crazy lives of the Bakers... tune in for more!!!
