This is probably the main reason. I'm the coach for the Sky View drill team. I know, I'm crazy! It's a lot of hard work and pretty time consuming. But the good news is that we have early morning practice before Spencer heads to work so I don't have to worry about trying to find someone to watch Scarlette. This summer has been filled with practice, camp, parades, team BBQ's, and many parent and booster club meetings. The team has come along way this summer and we still have a ways to go, but our two performances this week went well, so I'm optimistic for the future :)
Scarlette and I have been spending a lot of time playing in the water this summer. She loves to go swimming, but it's very tiring for me to take her by myself. She is not scared of the water at all. So if I let go of her, she's running right for the deep and of the pool! And while we swim together in the water, she's constantly pushing away from me so she can swim on her own. I have a floatie for her, but she doesn't want to be in it cuz all the big kids don't use floaties. There is a splash pad here, so that's a little easier for me to take her to, so we've been doing that a lot lately, too.
We went on my family's annual 24th of July boating trip to Alpine, Wyoming. It was a lot of fun! Lots of wakeboarding and tubing and some Razor rides on the side.
Spencer and I went to Hawaii in May. We left Scarlette with the grandparents for a whole week! It was really nice to get away and we totally got hooked up! My cousin lives in Waikiki so we stayed at his place and he let us use his car (Thanks Kirk!) we didn't have to worry about a place to stay or transportaion. And we used our credit card airline miles for the flight. Yeah we know how to travel!

We learned how to surf!
Spencer is also in Young men's now. So he's been busy with youth conferences and scouting trips. Most of his days off of work lately have been taken up by outings with the young men. Now that school is starting, hopefully there won't be as many activities where he has to be gone all day :) Here he is at youth conference this last weekend in Salt lake. He was plum tuckered out!
Scarlette is now in nursery, which we are loving! And we are starting a "mommy and me" gymnastics class on tuesday. I'm so excited!
