2nd half of summer....

This will be another long post. But it is long over due. Summer is over and school has started. Much to my dismay! I love summer. And I love having my kiddos home!! They were ready to start school though and they are excited its here!!! So for your viewing pleasure....here is our 2nd half of summer!!! (I might be a little out of order but you will get the jist)

Bethany and Jeremy were married in the Mt Timpanogos Temple (what a great temple to be sealed in..wink wink)on July 17, 2009 It was ONE HOT DAY! I thought we might kill someone off in that heat...but we all survived..











On July 22nd or so Jentry went with her grandma and some of her cousins to South Dakota to see Mt Rushmore. She was very excited for this trip because this was "her state" in 5th grade. She had to do a states report on it so she got to see what South Dakota was really about!! These are some of her pictures.





They went to some museums along the way...





(stolen from Missy)

I was glad to finally get her back home!! She had been to her cousins sleeping over for a few days before her trip and then she went on her trip. I felt like she was gone forever. But I know she had a great time!!! I'm so glad she was able to go on this trip!

We did a lot of swimming this summer! After my first time getting burnt and not being able to walk properly for a few days I decided sun screen was my best friend and I actually got a pretty nice tan after that. Ty learned how to jump in the water and swim back to the side (with a life jacket) He was so proud of himself and he would always come up with the biggest smile and those long wet eyelashes. I loved it!! He is such a cute boy!! Chase would jump in the water too as long as I was holding his hand. Such big boys. Growing up way too quickly!! Brinley was a little fish. There was one moment where someone puked in the pool (right by us!! ACK!) so we had to go into the deep pool. I was wondering how I was going to do that with Brinley...I had my arms full with two boys. She was just fine. She swam around in it even though she couldn't touch the bottom! I was so proud of her!! Jentry, of course, swims really well too! I'm so glad my kiddos aren't scared of the water!

Drea got baptized!! Brinley is next! Wowzers!! I cant believe how old these kids are!




We went to Starvation






We went to the Utah County fair that is held at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. We just went around and looked at the animals because Im too cheap to pay $3 a ride! Next year we will try to get tickets to the crash up derby! I bet we would love it. Ive only heard good things about it. It was going on while we were there and I thought this picture was so funny..all the men trying to catch a free peek at a car getting crushed.







Im hoping Im a better blogger now that the kids are in school. So stay tuned for more...FROM THE HENDRICKSEN CLAN!!!
