What have U been up to this summer?

This year our summer has been pretty low key since Jared is taking his first medical school class, but here is a list some of the stuff that we have been up to.


We went to our first pro baseball game the Detroit Tigers.
Sitting behind all the drunks! :)

We are silly.

I (Melisa) got in a little car accident while being lost. :( My poor new car but thank goodness for insurance, its back to new.

Olivia's Granny had surgery so she has been blowing lots of get well kisses from Michigan to Utah.

This summer we have also been learning how to go potty like a big girl and have been very successful so far (thanks for all the advice). She loves to put on her on undies note the tucked in shirt. :)

Jared has found a job for Olivia, shining his shoes.

We did celebrate the fourth of July like most Americans by going to a parade and eating fruit snacks.

And lighted fireworks with our new friends.

I learned how to make bread with a great recipe from my second mom (Jeanne).

Our poor Olivia got Conjunctivitis, this was the first time she had ever had a prescription.

Olivia and I went to the zoo and she rode on a camel.

We play with our dolls daily.

Sometimes we get bored and take random pictures.

Olivia and I (Melisa) went to a dairy farm with some ladies in our branch and their kids.

I milked the cow. EWWW!

And Olivia got to sit on a tractor while we were there. (she's frowning because she just hit her cheek on the steering wheel and is holding the tears)

That pretty much sums up our summer so far.

How cute, and fun!

Jesse told me he doesn't ever want to go to a game. The one bad thing about every kind of game you go to is the beer. He doesn't want someone splashing him with their beer. Looks like you guys lucked out.

Olivia's so cute, I love her 4th of July outfit. And her shoes, totally jealous of her shoes.

Sorry about your car accident (and getting lost) bummer. I am how ever in awe of your bread making skills. (And cow milking skills for that matter). Good job Olivia on the potty training thing. The freedom from diapers is liberating! (And sad because they are growing up)

What a great summer! Pop and Granny love you all. I tried milking a cow "ONCE". Olivia is such a big girl! I miss your hugs. Thank you for blowing me sooo many kisses. I caught them all!
Love, Granny
P.S. That bread looks great, Meli!
