So as you all know, my boys are in Utah having a blast with Grandma Marde and Grandpa Ross. They had swimming lessons at my old stompin' grounds, Midvale Middle School, have gone bowling, go hot tubbing constantly, and have been to Bear Lake so many times that I've lost count. They are having a great time, and don't seem to miss us at all (although, we TOTALLY miss them). Its so weird to not have them here. The girls are both very easy, and it almost seems like there is nothing to do without the boys noise and chaos. Anyway, Scott leaves for Las Vegas on Sunday, and the boys will meet up with him there the following thursday (I think), and then they'll all fly back home together the next Sunday. So less than two weeks before they are home. I'm super excited to see them (skype just isn't as good as the real thing!). Here are some pictures from their super fun summer so far.
Swimming Lessons!! They are both swimming great now, and passed their classes with flying colors. I think Corbin's teacher said he was the best in class, and Dexter actually needed to be in a higher class (but it wasn't available). They are so awesome.

Corbin-fish.
Dexter-fish.
Echo-wannabe fish. (the swimming lessons took place while Ivy was still at PCMC, that's why Echo is in these pictures).
Gma Marde, Echo, Dexter, and Corbin. Echo just wants in the water so bad!
Hanging out in Gma's hot tub.
Bowling with Gma, Auntie Christine and Ollie (I can't find the picture they sent with Ollie, but he was there). Apparently Corbin LOVED bowling. We haven't taken him since he was like 2 or 3 yrs old, so we didn't realize he would have so much fun. I guess we'll have to do some family bowling nights in the future!
Enjoying Bear Lake shopping.
And LOVING swimming in the freezing cold lake. They can't get enough!
Look how brown they are (except those adorable white bums)! Am I going to get in trouble for posting this? Who cares, its cute!
I miss you boys! It was so fun to see you on Skype last night. I'm glad you are having such a good time with grandma. Be good for her! I can't wait to see you in two weeks! Love you!

Wow, Midvale Middle still looks the same. Cute pics, love the little white bums! :)
Your middle school had a pool??? Our high school didn't even have a pool. No fair. Looks like a fun summer. Grandmas are the best!
Well this has been a summer to remember for the boys and for Ross and me! It has been so fun & busy but mostly satisfying to see your cute boys so much. Our favorite part is seeing the boys develop into good little swimmers...truly a miracle, right up there with learning to ride a bike and learning to read. We have enjoyed every minute...oh wait, maybe not the whining minutes, but most are very happy times! Love, Marde
