As always, summer came and went all too quickly. Despite working like crazy, we managed to squeeze in some good times! Here's a recap of some of the fun things we did throughout the summer.
Dr. Loftus took off for a few days, so Paige and I decided to take one of those days off and headed to Six Flags! Sean hates rollercoasters, so it's always nice to go with a friend who loves them as much as I do. This is how all days off need to be spent!
We ended up going on a Wednesday, which was AWESOME because there were no lines! I tried to capture in this picture the lack of people that were there. On some of the rides we would get off, and come right back up to the beginning of the line. It was glorious.
Paigey's favorite ride, BATMAN!
Love this girl.
We were watching the weather like crazy that week! It was supposed to rain, but we had already set apart that day ahead of time. I had temp days booked the rest of our time off, so we put all of our hopes on that day, and it worked out perfectly. Literally, as soon as we got in our car it started down-pouring! It was clearly meant to be! :)
Our good friends Lindsay and Evan's little boy, Jensen turned one this summer! They had a cute little birthday party at the park in our subdivision.
This was seriously one of the cutest "first cake" showings I've ever seen. Jensen used a fork the entire time he was eating his cake! I've never seen a one year old dive into their first birthday cake with a fork before! Hilarious.
I got to spend a few weekends doing my favorite thing in life...laying by the pool. It's so nice to have two pools in our subdivision that I can just walk to, I love it!
Of course pool time means Uncle Sean and Aunt Becky getting to terrorize the little kids. Connor and Nathan seemed to like it though. :)
In June we watched a few kids in our ward for the weekend. This is the second time we've watched kids for people in the ward. Two words: BIRTH CONTROL.
Good thing they were cute.
We did have some fun throughout the weekend...but I"m not going to lie, Sean and I were both more than ready to come home to our very quiet, toy free, clean house.
At the beginning of the summer I got some pretty flowers for our pots and back patio. I love flowers! I love seeing them everyday when I come home, or when we are relaxing on the patio. They are HUGE now! I need to take a before and after picture!
Sarah is amazing, and got me a facial for my birthday back in April. We were both so busy and weren't able to redeem it until this summer. Trust me, it was worth the wait!
This is called the 'relaxation room'...I think you can see why...
Our adorable niece, Sidney turned 7 in June. She was cracking us up while were skyping with her. She just laid back, with her arms behind her head, and set her feet up like such a little grown up. Stop getting bigger Sidney! Of course, we got a cute glimpse of sweet little Taryn too!
Sean and I love to entertain! We had our good friends KC & Sterling and Lindsay & Evan over for a great meal. It's always a good time when the six of us get together!
Boom baby!
We're good friends with Sean's boss and his wife, Scot and Holly. Their little boy, Nathan turned 2 this summer and it was fun to celebrate with them too!
I cleaned Sean's teeth this summer, and shocker-he was a huge pansy. This kid and dentistry have it made. He has literally never, and will ever, have to pay for dentistry in his entire life. His Uncle was his dentist growing up, his other Uncle was his orthodontist, my Dad was his dentist until he passed away, and now my boss works on him for free. This kid is dentally spoiled!
Our cousins Janene and Aaron are having twins! They threw the cutest gender reveal party ever! They're having a boy and a girl, the perfect combo! The babies will be here December 2013! We can't wait to meet them, congrats guys! We're so happy for you.
Our cousins Spencer and Brittany blessed their adorable baby boy, Caden, that same weekend! We were so happy we got to be a part of their special day. Congrats Spencer and Brittany on your new baby boy!
This is what happens when I don't have patients, and Paige and I get bored...
One or two times this summer I convinced Sean to go to the pool with me. He makes a pretty good lay out buddy...until he leaves me after an hour. Success!
We did a few other things this summer, I have a few other posts about some of the big events going on in our lives. I know people complain that it's hot here in the summer, but I seriously love it. Honestly people, 90-95 degrees is my ideal temperature. God was playing a joke on me when he had me grow up in Chicago, and go to college in Idaho and Utah. I belong in the heat, and I love it! We had a great summer, come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
These types of things don't happen very often, and definitely not for free...so I feel like they need to be documented! VIP!
