Don't let my lack of blogging fool you... we've been up to plenty this summer!
Here's a brief rundown of a few parts of the summer thus far...
We do our fair share of swimming...I can promise you that.
We have spent most of our swimming days at Riverside...and thank goodness for my mom-who is pretty much the best grandma ever. Without her...there is no way I could juggle holding Tucker and watching Jack. She is always such a good sport to get in the water with the kids...and luckily, we usually also have the company of Annie, Kate, and their kids!
Even more lucky...the fact that the Batman shirt Jack refuses to peel off of his body just so happens to be a swim shirt...win-win!
Tucker is a really good sweaty little sport.
Jack is a total character these days.
I have to say, I am absolutely in love with this stage with him.
He is talking hilariously, and has so many funny expressions.
He's about as obsessed with superheros as one could be and goes just about everywhere with a cape on.
Such a BOY!
This is serious work.
We're not REALLY into potty training with Jack...I hear it's best to wait until they're ready-whatever that means! We bought this little potty chair about a month ago, and he thinks it's pretty awesome to sit on.
He totally gets the concept of sitting, wiping, flushing.
Nothing ever comes out...but- these are just details!
He's also decided that on certain days he's just too sophisticated for the tub.
He'd shower for hours if I'd let him.
Jack also finds it hilarious to sit in Tucker's car seat. He pulls this stunt during Sacrament Meeting, at the mall, whatever.
Look at that smirk...he thinks he's hilarious.
In the bottom left photo...he's getting his fingernails buffed from some lady at a kiosk in the mall.
Total rat.
Tuck man is a stud in every sense of the word.
He's getting more hair.
His eyes continue to get more blue.
He is super alert and aware, and laughs his little dimples off constantly.
Before long he'll be leaping out of my arms to get into EVERYTHING.
A couple of weeks ago, I had my 10 year High School Reunion.
Total old fart.
We all left the spouses at home, and endured as single ladies.
We have also spent our time going on several outings...
The Lehi Roundup Rodeo was the ultimate place to teach Jack about being a real American.
We went with all the Wanks (minus Kate post-surgery), and it was all you could want a rodeo to be.
(Thanks Hay, for watching Tucker)
We also went to the Owlz game with the Griffin's, and Jack was ready from the second we exited the car.
It really was a highlight of the summer...Jack was in heaven.
The first week of July, many of the Jones siblings traveled for a stay-cation in Alpine for the month.
On the 3rd of July, a wildfire struck the mountain just above the Jones home...and it was nuts!
They were all (20+ of them) evacuated and fled to our house.
We put up half of them at my house, and the other half slept with me at my parent's (who were out of town) house. Luckily, after about 24 hours, they were allowed back in their home.
Cray, cray, crazy
.
We stay really busy around these parts with swimming lessons (next post), hanging with the cousins, shopping, park hopping, eating snowies, changing about 349 diapers a day, and LOVING being outside most of the time.
Many more summer adventures still to be had...

Now that was a recap! That last picture of Jack and Tuck-man is too amazing. I hope Jack never takes his swim shirt off,and Tuck wears that red shirt every day. Jack takes the cake for rat-ness. He is such a funny little mug. I can't wait to see what other shenanigans he has up his sleeve for the rest of the summer.
