Catch-Up

This summer has gone by so fast! I haven't had anytime to post. We have spent the summer playing with cousins, working, doing homework and having so much fun. A few of the highlights:
Each summer the cheerleaders put on a little camp for little girls where they teach them a dance and some cheers. Livie had so much fun. She can't wait to go back to her cheer again.










Dylan has found a new best friend. He loves his cousin Denver and they have had so much fun together. Here they are doing their favorite thing.












Dyl and Live have been in swimming lessons and doing so incredible. They were both swimming underwater by the end of their session. On the second to last day Livie hit her chin on something and had to get five stitches. She wasn't too upset about the stitches, but was very mad that she had to leave the pool.











On a sad note, Dylan's best friend from Las Vegas passed away on Tuesday. He loved Giovanni. Gio was a little autistic boy in his class. The amazing thing was, Dylan was able to get Gio to talk sometimes. It has been an interesting lesson for Dylan to learn about where Gio is now. Dyl was convinced Gio was in the cemetery, but he now knows he is with Heavenly Father and Jesus. Dylan thought that sounded so good, he told me he couldn't wait to live with Heavenly Father. Umm, yeah, I think I can wait.
We are looking forward to celebrating our first pioneer day in five years this Saturday.

that is so sad about his friend. at least you can teach him a little about what happens when you die from this, now he won't be so scared of the cemetery :)

That's so sad about Dylan's friend. Sounds like you turned it into a great teaching moment.

And I'm glad that you're excited about pioneer day, because I gotta say, it's ruining all MY plans!
