Charlotte got 2 gold metals this week from her ballet and gymnastics classes. She has been watching a lot of the Olympics with us and was so excited to get her very own metals! Charlotte was so proud standing up there on the platform. Now when she sees the olympians on TV she says, "I could do that!" ...I say, "Let's try to master a cartwheel first."
Here is a link to Hyrum's latest and greatest blog Shortflicks. He is quite the blogger. He has a blog for his soccer team, photo contest and now a video contest. This weeks theme is DANGEROUS. Here is my entry. Feel free to check out the other entries and comment or even submit your own! Caffeine + Kids = Dangerous from Chilli Bean on Vimeo.
This 4th of July was the best! I really mean that, too. We had so much fun! On the 3rd we had a BBQ with some of our Summerhays family members. Then on the 4th we went to my aunt & uncle's for a BBQ Swim party and I got to see a bunch of my Fisher cousins and then in the evening we went to my parents and had a fantastic fireworks display from of my brother, Justin, and many other neighbors. Their street takes this holiday very seriously! There were bouncy houses, sprinklers, tables of food and music blasting. Charlotte was having the time of her life dancing in the street with sparklers. And Savannah somehow fell asleep in daddy's arms. This will be a 4th that we will always remember.
Beal's Point is pretty much a dessert but we had fun! The girls made a great mud pool and played in the sand. I got to hang out some of my favorite family members, including Renee and Nat who were visiting from Washington DC.
Once or twice a week Hyrum has been taking Charlotte with him out to Empire Ranch and has been teaching the basics os golf. She LOVES it. She is very patient and wants to hit the ball well. So she listens carefully to her daddy's instruction and tries to make the necessary corrections. Charlotte can now hit her driver about 20 yards and is good at chipping. I'm excited that she has found something that just she and her daddy can do together. They both look forward to it each week.
