Summer lovin'

We've been having a pretty fun summer.  Wednesdays are our favorite days of the week.  James doesn't go in to the medical office but instead mows lawns with one of the young men from ward.  They're quick so not only does he make quite a bit of money in one day, but he's home usually by 1 o'clock.  Leaving us plenty of family fun time.  Once he gets home we grab a quick bite to eat and get suited up (literally) to go swimming.  The Provo Rec Center is right down the street from our apartment and we invested in some summer passes.  Kaya loves the wave pool.  She's 4 for 4 on falling asleep in the pool.  And she floats like a boat.  So she's easy to hold.  We just support her head, shade her face, and she bobs soothingly up and down in the waves.  It's adorable.  Once Kaya hits 6 months and can hold her head up by herself really well, she and Tash can start doing some "mommy and me" swimming classes.

Fridays are pretty fun too.  It's another day where we get to spend a lot of time as a family.  James' office is closed to patients but he goes in to catch up on paperwork and return phone calls.  Kaya and Tash get to go in with him.  Tash earns a little money cleaning the office and Kaya  drools and makes faces at daddy while he's on the phone.

Our summer has also been full of some fun weekend trips.  We spent the 4th of July weekend in Brigham and Stansbury.  In Brigham, we got to visit with Grandpa Larry, do some yard work, and attend church with Nana.  

In Stansbury we had hamburgers, played add-on with the brothers on the trampoline, made and played a game called 'Antidote', and watched fireworks.  Kaya both fell in love with swings, and fell asleep swinging.  It was a very fun weekend.

We also got to spend a weekend with Grandpa Chuck for his birthday and the annual Sharp Family Picnic.  It was fun to be with Grandpa Chuck and watch him with Kaya.  It was also good to see Gr'ma Sharp and some of the Sharp-side aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Another very fun weekend.
