Pools, Pools, Pools

It's summertime...its Pool time! This summer my boys have been in so many different pools between Aunt Jessica's, swim lessons, hotels, friends houses, and the little blow up pool in the backyard. And one thing is for sure, these boys love the water!
At their cousins 8th/Baptism party:


Cousins!

Hang on Boyd!


Ella..the Birthday Girl


Its always fun for everyone, when Grandpa comes!

Our Mr.McCoy loves to swim! He loves to be in the water.

Uncle John Summerville had a conference down here in Tucson and invited us out to their hotel for an afternoon of swimming. The boys had a blast with their cousins Dallin and Daniel and of course Aunt Kenya!
The hotel had a water slide, and the boys went down over and over and over and over...


Dallin


Riley


Daniel


Joseph


Boyd-o!


The boys even convinced Aunt Kenya to go down and you know she loved it!

This is how we all felt by the end of the afternoon...exhausted like McCoy!

I love Raising my Boys:

"You are home to him. When he learns to walk, he will wobble a few feet away from you and then come back, then wobble away a little farther and then come back. When he tries something new, he will look for your proud smile. When he learns to read, he will repeat the same book to you twenty times in a row, because you're the only one who will listen that many times. When he plays his sport, he will search for your face in the stands. When he is sick, he will call you. When he really messes up, he will call you. When he is grown and strong and tough and big and he feels like crying, he will come to you; because a man can cry in front of his mother without feeling self-conscious. Even when he grows up and has a new woman in his life and gets a new home, you are still his mother; home base, the ever constant, like the sun. Know that in your heart and everything else will fall into place."

"Example is an important characteristic of a boy’s life." President Spencer W. Kimball

"Mothers of little boys work from son up til son down"

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware. The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered around the house, the piles of laundry lying around to be tackled, will disappear all too soon. And, you will to your surprise, miss them profoundly." President Thomas S. Monson

"No other success can compensate for failure in the home."

"The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your home."

"Motherhood is about raising & celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be, and that if you're lucky he just might be the teacher that turns you into the person you're supposed to be." - Joan Ryan
