Halle moved to Level II in swim lessons! She is doing so great! She had a real fear of water and HATED getting her face wet ~ even to the point of when she was little she would need a towel right by the tub so if she got a little splash of water on her face she would need to wipe it off immediately!! She now can back float, pencil float, blow bubbles, go completely under water, and is practicing doing her windmills...

We also had our annual family 4th of July picnic and fireworks show at Mandie's last night! We had hamburgers, chips, salads, and fudge bars!! And of course...the fireworks! Thanks Mandie and Mike ~ it was alot of fun!










I just realized I didn't get any pictures of Justin, but he was there runnin' around with the torch lightin' all the "illegal" ones we had! And finally somethin' new {kinda}! I love the Bumble watches that have the interchangeable bands and ordered six for Christmas last year {yes...I ordered my own Christmas present}! I have always wanted to make some but never got around to it....till now!! My mom, sister's, and I got together and made one for the 4th of July, then I put together a black and pink one!
We made one for Grandma Fillmore and she loved it! I also had enough beads to make one for Hannah! And just so Hal didn't feel left out, we made her a bracelet!
Now we can make a whole bunch for different holidays and outfits for the girls and me! We also went to the spalsh park in Rexburg with my sisters, my aunt, my cousin and her two darling little girls ~ but I am so tired that I am going to bed! Jace went to the movie with his friends and I am just counting the seconds till he gets home so I can go to bed! Though I still have to go get the girls to bed! They are still up TRYING to clean their room! Hannah can not were her 4th of July watch Saturday if she doesn't clean her room!! I know. I am a totally mean mom but we seriously cannot get this girl to clean her room! So I hope she gets it clean cause I said it and now I have to stand by it...no matter how hard that can be at times!! Well it's a typical summer night...it's 11:12 p.m. and everyone is still up! But we don't have anything in the morning so what does that mean? We can all sleep in!! YES! So thankful for...1) I got to get together with my cousin ~ even though we didn't get to visit much 2) Jace just got home...he had a great time 3) I just went and peeked in Hannah's room and she just might get it done {cross your fingers and piggies}!
