summer so far

so this is what we have been up to....

isaac and clara enjoying popsicles on the back porch

all of our kids helped with our ward's float in the lehi roundup parade.  even little clara rode on one of the little horses on the float, but she refused to sit on them unless the float was actually moving.

 we went to seven peaks and i took pictures of 2 of my 4 children.  this theme may continue...

amelia soakin' up the sun!

for our combined ym/yw activity we had a water party at the park and i took jared along.  we had a huge slip-n-slide that jared had a good time on.

we've found a snow cone shack that we are really diggin'.

we went to midway with roni's family to enjoy the fireworks and i took one picture of one of my kids. such a good picture taker i am.

nathan recently celebrated his birthday and he and i went out to eat at his favorite place, the olive garden.

and me, i've been busy taking pictures of myself :)  for some reason i look really tired in this photo.... couldn't have anything to do with the huge bags under my eyes!!

hope you are having a blast this summer!

he's a handy handy man

my nathan is making himself official. officially what you may ask?

an official handyman!

he's been doing handyman work for half his life but has just recently decided to make it an official thing. so harwood handyman services, llc is now a legit company, licensed and insured.

if you are in the area and need someone to do the things around your home that you can't do (or are tired of waiting for someone else to do), then my hubby is your man. kind of -cause technically he will still be mine :)

give him a call @ (801) 372-2339.  you can also check out his facebook page (it's a work in progress).

all she wants to do is....

dance, dance, dance!

amelia started her first dance class yesterday.  she was so excited!

just a side note: so I have to say that the camera on my new phone is terrible compared to my old phone so bear with me on these pictures and video.

here's amelia listening intently to her teacher before they started.

stretching and warming up (stupid blurry photo)

free-dance time! (you can't hear the music because I have to stand outside and watch through a window but they are dancing to "girls just wanna have fun")
