Summer time

My sister, brother-in-law, and parents are in Greece. Gunnar and I are in Utah for two weeks hanging out with my nieces while they are away. We are enjoying the heat and all things summer...
Summer is for swimming and slip-n-sliding.
If this picture doesn't make you laugh, close your eyes, open them and look again. It makes me laugh hard everytime I look at it. ;) This is Sadie, the youngest. She says funny, funny things; yesterday we were in the pool and I stayed back with Gunnie and Sades while the older two went to jump off the diving board. When Brianna came back Sadie said, "Bri, I tooted on Kamee." It was so hysterical. I had not idea and she was keeping it secret until her sis came back.

She is good stuff.

She sings to herself all day long; it is so sweet.

She and Gunnar are months apart; they have been playing well together. Today Gunnar said, "Sadie, I like hanging out with you."
Photobucket
Gunnar wanted goggles like the big girls. They fill with water the second he goes under but he could care less.

You have to hang out in your swimsuit all summer. Right? Remember those days?

Summer is for bug hunting.
Photobucket
My sister has quite the green thumb; her garden is gorgeous and full of rollie pollies. Gunnar is in bug heaven!!
Photobucket
Sadie prefers plastic bugs and bug candy.
Photobucket
Summer is for jumping on the tramp at all hours of the day and night. Remember how late it would stay light in the summer? Remember loving that as kids?
Photobucket
Summer is for drinking from the hose. Who doesn't remember or still do that? ;)
Photobucket
Summer is being so busy with friends you forget about a delicious treat until it is too late.
Photobucket
Summer is about losing teeth. This one is going to come out any day. Stay tuned for the after post. ;)
Photobucket
Summer is about being so tired you can hardly stay awake at the end of the day. (I love their little sun-kissed faces...)
Photobucket
Summer is probably one of the best times of year...too bad I have so much homework this summer. Summer is NOT supposed to be about homework...
More to come from our Utah adventures...xoxo Kam, Gun, Bri, Bethie, and Sadie

Yay Kam! What fun pictures of those darling kids. And how great that you're there babysitting. What a labor of love... when you'll all preg and everything. :) Have fun, and don't over-do it!

Of course I meant "when YOU'RE all preg". Annoying typos.

What a lucky bunch of kids to hang out with you for two weeks. You see the best in everyone, I love that about you.
