summer bucket list 2011

This year we decided to make a Summer check list of all the things we wanted to do together during the summer. We have already marked like 6 things off the list, not too shabby with exactly 2 weeks to go til school starts. I love looking back at the memories we have made and reliving them again on the good ole' blog.

Swim Team


Lake Powell

We miss our Utah cousins! A LOT!
ROCK ON!

Only 7 months apart. Easton and cousin Kayson



Chase doing some cliff jumping

Boxing with Grandpa. Watch out Grandpa! They are sneaky.

Naptime! Grandpa Pete and Ryan

My favorite people

Talan jumping off the back of the house boat. Look how pretty Powell is in the background. Sigh. I want to go back.

The oldest and youngest Peterson grandsons. Easton couldn't get enough of Tannon.

The youngest and oldest Peterson grandaughters. Such pretty girls!


Taylor tumbling on the beach in San Diego

Cort's sisters family, Tori, Ronnie, Brewin, and Brynlie came to our hotel and played on the beach with us. We really were so happy to see them and spend some good quality time together. Wish we lived closer to our Welker cousins too.


Legoland. A whole land dedicated to Legos?! Chase and Talan have never been happier!


Porterville. Cort's hometown

Chase boxing Uncle Cameron on the Wii. Chase takes this stuff very seriously! Cameron had no idea what he was up against! :)

Taylor and her Grandma

Campout on the tramp. Which actually turned into camping out in the tent with a fan blowing on us. Which also only lasted til about 1:00 that morning, due to the heat, and barking dog next door. Regardless a good time was had by all.


Summer school. My aunt made mention that she did a summer school with her kids as they were growing up. Loved the idea of it and we have actually done pretty good. Taylor is almost done reading her 3rd chapter book. Talan is learning his shapes and how to write his name. And Chase continues to be a awesome little reader and is working on worksheets from a 1st to 2nd grade book. I think someone might be a tad bored in kindergarten.

Going on a run with mom. Some of my favorite memories as a child are of going running with my dad and brothers. The tradition lives on. My newest favorite running partners! :)

Helping dad wash the car

Running through the sprinklers and the hose in the backyard. Easton is such a Bully!
