Swensen Sentral

(Written previously but didn't post for some reason) Sawyer finished his very first sport season, t-ball. I'll admit it was kind of torturous to watch and I'm not sure he learned anything, but it was all worth it to see his face light up after his last game when he suddenly learned that he would be getting his very first trophy! He was SO excited and couldn't wait to hold it in his hands. 

We went to Nauvoo. It was awesome. Everyone should do it.  Oxen ride Learning how to make brick  Watching the pageant 

(Wrote this a while ago, for some reason it didn't publish) As much as I sometimes regret getting a dog, I can't help but smile when I see how much Soleil loves her and how tolerant she is of Soleil's harassments.  Eatin' Popsicles together

(Saw this never published so I'm trying again) Got together with our neighbors the Wilson's to do fireworks, and the rest of the neighborhood joined in too. It was so fun. Kids running all over the place. Boys lighting fires and blowing things up, and Soleil caught my skirt on fire with her sparkler. Wouldn't want to end the night without an exciting story like that!
