Little Lance to a T

Sleeping on the Trampoline

You know what's wonderful about Utah?

You can sleep on the trampoline and not get ate up by mosquitoes!

I remember doing this as a child and loved it.

Layla did as well.

The first night they decided to sleep outside I just knew Layla would be coming

back inside. But I underestimated her. She slept outside the whole night.

Brave little girl!

 

Uintah Cheer Camp

I signed Layla up for a cheer camp while we were home.

The first day was a little overwhelming and scary for her, but in the end

she loved it.

 

She now does her cheers non-stop!

Friends

I was able to get together with some of my greatest friends while I was home.

Some I haven't seen in a few years, and it was so nice to catch up with all

of them. The funnest thing about it was seeing all of our kids play together.

 

I can't believe we're that old!

Old enough to have kids playing together!!

Seems like yesterday we were all cheering together.

Swimming Lessons

I signed Layla up for swimming lessons while we were in Utah, because we were missing

the lessons here while we were gone. She was so excited about it. When we arrived

at the Rec. center I could tell she was a little nervous and she held

tight to my hand. She got in the pool great and waited till the lessons were to start.

Then,

a little boy showed up crying hysterically.

So what did Layla do, she starting crying hystericially.

And WOULD NOT STOP.

I had to leave so she'd stop looking back at me and holding her arms out to me.

 

The next day I bribed her with a kitty cone from McDonald's.

It worked, and she did great the next 2 weeks.

She was even jumping off the diving board all by herself.

She passed her pre-level one, now we just gotta get her in lessons

this fall so she'll continue to love the water!

Let's get caught up!

We had a GREAT time in Utah.

5 weeks goes by in a flash when you're having fun with the people you love.
