Oh What do You do in the Summertime?

Hey wake up guys! Why are you so exhausted? What have you done this summer!?
OH WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE SUMMERTIME WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS GREEN?


(special instructions)
scroll to the bottom to see why these guys are wiped out
and read from the bottom up to the top
to see what our family likes to do in the summertime!



Our summer also has been filled with caring for grandma, swimming, camping and cookouts, lots of movies (some outdoor), friends over, Kanon at football conditioning, Pyper and Spencer in summer dance classes, Spencer at girls camp and EFY. Soon Kanon is leaving for Mission Quest. summerbasicallyrocks.

Another four generation was taken at the Foote family reunion! I dont know the years of granny and papa maybe papa 1931 and Granny 1936? and Clint 1963.

Did I mention that we love Preston!?

We like it when moms sister Aunt Kristi come to visit~ Watch out she pinches bumms when she hugs you!! I think her right hand is pinching grandma! haha jk

We love taking four generation photos.
Grandma 1931, Grammy 1960, Reaga Mom 1987, Preston 2009!

We like when our neice(cousin) from Washington visits. Jennifer Kane Cannon and family. Grandma likes it too. Kanon loves her last name.

We love that these two came from Kansas to visit us.

Auntie Taylor is so quick on the draw for the morning snuggle. Preston loves her.
Notice the lip syndrome. We can't not kiss this baby boy. Even in sleeping.

We love it when our big sister Reagan comes to visit! Her sweet ness and funny ness helps the whole balance of our family. She is such a good little mommy (we love her baby Presto!) and she is so organized and helpful. Our whole family is lucky to have our sister/mom reaga poo come. I love our talks! Even though she can be as crazy as the rest of us ...she is usually the "voice of reason" Happy 23rd birfday Ho Ho Head!

We love it when our big sister Taylor comes to visit us. She takes playing outside to a whole new level! Taylor Mikaile we love your sparkling personality and gift of storytelling that makes every happening even more entertaining! Love it that your sweet husband sent you here for your birthday. Happy twenty fourth!

We like going to church and then hanging out in the front room after dinner to tell stories.
Man! These lovely children must have beautiful parents.
...awww Look at handsome Preston and his pink tie.
I love these kids so much my hearts swells to have them all together.

WE like to go to our friends wedding receptions.
We miss dancing and student counseling with you Kiku!
Much love forever....the foote sisters.

The reason for it all. Closkwise starting with Papa. Papa, Penny, Granny, Kurt, Cathy, Clint, Paul, and John. These people are very difficult to photograph. They start yelling and laughing at each other until they are crying from laughter. Papa said "I AM smiling!"

All the cousins. If you count there are 12 lovely girls and 3 handsome boys.

I had to get this little pool for Preston to play in water since he wanted to be IN the Falls.
Water is his favorite thing....He was happy.

We love to drive to Shoshone Falls and have a Foote Family Reunion with cousins, aunts, uncles, and Granny and Papa too!

We also go a visiting grandma at the rehabilitation center...Doesnt she look great!???
Her recovery has been slow with setbacks. We continue to be hopeful.

and counseling....
actually so much more was going on like running and wrestling and left foot kickball, but these are the only pics I got. weird...

Like Preston on his slide.

After Tay's dinner and haircut we celebrate with watermelon
(as per her request... she doesnt like cake)
Intense backyard activities follow....

We like eating at Casa Mexico. So much so that the family that owns it knows when some of us are missing and what we will order. This time it was Taylor's twenty fourth birthday!(then she went to Uncle Kurts for a happy birthday haircut. She doesnt like anyone else to cut her hair.)

WE love going on family walks and collecting pinecones or sticks!

We like Uncle Kurt to give us haircuts....notice this phenomenon...when anyone holds Preston's face close to your own how your lips just naturally suction onto his cuteness.

These guys laughed and talked and re enacted scenes and quoted dialogue so late. The most hilarious was when Clint told them to be quiet and Pyper said "We are begging you sir!"
(see Garth and Kat SNL skit)

oh budge....

WE like camping............
