This summer has flown by, as time usually does when our family is together. We were planning to rebuild the bathroom floor, but after a bad wind storm in June the project for the summer changed to learning how to roof.

After we got it cleaned off (two layers of shingles with a random layer of insulation that doesn't belong on a roof, causing the top layer to bake and crumble prematurely in the wind, and a lot of nails and staples that had to be pulled) and put down a layer of tar paper we had another wind storm and had to redo most of that. (Caleb: I make the roof look smaller than it really is.)
Grandpa, Uncle Ben and Uncle Jerry all came to help so that we could be finished in time to make the 4th of July Party at Aunt Lilly's.

Cousins Rachael and Mina got to stay over for a few days. We had a lot of fun playing!!!

We spent a lot of time at the pool this summer. Alice and Julie have learned to hold their breath under water, kick around in their floats and jump off the side into the deep end.

They have figured out where they can reach in the big pool to play all by themselves. Alice looks forward to being able to swim well enough to go off the diving board!

Grandpa and Grandma Grant shared a trampoline with the girls at the beginning of July and it is their new favorite outside activity!

Caleb is a little nervous about the ground moving below his feet and prefers to watch from the swing. He is getting better at bouncing when he is on by himself and has Daddy's undivided attention and praise.

Grandpa and Grandma stopped by on their way up to Flaming Gorge. Grandpa Grant likes to jump on the trampoline, too. : ) With all this work and play summer has flown by.
