This little guy was itching his way closer to the terrible two's and we could sure tell! This picture was taken after one of his full blown tantrums. He was so exhausted afterwards that he cuddled up to dad and took a long snooze.
David was very good about taking Easton to the park on his days off, while I was at work. It was the end of May, early June and super hot when this photo was taken. So hot, that the two decided it was more desirable to build a sand castle in the shade than play on the playground set.
I finished the 2012-2013 school year and was about 8 months pregnant. My sister in law Jessica and I decided to do a parent-tot swim class together with our kids MaKenna and Easton. Fortunately Jessica's two older kids Kiara (6) and Dallin (4) were old enough that they could sit and watch us after they finished their swim class....all at the local Brimhall pool. I realized that carrying Easton and trying to heave my major pregnant body out of the pool was a daily challenge :) Jessica was also about 7 months pregnant. We filled our Friday morning going to "Wiggle Worms" at the McQueen Recreation Center. Easton got to run around in a gym with lots of little toys and friends his age.
We also got loads of soil from my brother Chris' house to use in our garden. Chris was moving out of his Fairfield street home and wanted us to use as much soil and garden bricks as possible. While moving the soil, David found this nasty grub worm and pretended to eat it. Yuck! Reminds me of the Lion King just a little bit :)
For the Fourth of July, we did our usual Downtown Mesa fireworks with the Johnson family. We had a great view this year and lots of space to spread out, but boy was it HOT (especially being 9 months pregnant!)
David's parents spent the summer working in the Health office at Camp Geronimo with a bunch of smelly boy scouts :) We missed them so much that we packed our bags and set off for a visit. Of course we got a hotel room instead of camping in a tent. I needed a nice bed and shower! Camp Geronimo was very pretty. It was overcast and slightly cooler than the valley. David took Easton swimming with his mom Dove in Geronimo's pool. The pool water must have been like 50 degrees because it was ICE cold (I didn't go in :)). We got to eat most of our meals at the cafeteria-which had great meals! I think we had spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread and a salad bar for one meal. Dove also took us on a tour of the camp and we got to watch and instructor show us how to identify snakes. He then took out a rattlesnake from a bucket and showed us how he handles them...pretty cool stuff!
