Summer is fizziling out at the Fisher household. Jacinda starts Pre-school Tuesday. She is super excited. Everyday she is asking for homework. I love her enthusiasm but she is only 3, she will have plenty of years of homework. So in the meantime I find little work sheets for her so she can practice drawing her letters. I am actually really impressed with her steady hand. She does a good job.

I found some pictures of our summer. I just want to re-cap some of the moments before summer is officially gone.


Hanging out with the cousins in Utah. We loved seeing the Squires and the Johnsons. They made our summer so much fun.




A nice picture of the Fishers and the Johnsons sitting on benches at the Canyons resort in Park City, Utah. Take a moment and notice Quinn standing in the front. He looks like a 5-year-old rapper striking a pose. That kid cracks me up. The next picture is Jacinda with her cousin Clark Johnson taking a pony ride. This is the evening of July 24th--pioneer day. Since we were in Utah, we were celebrating with the cousins. Mimi's neighbors have horses and ponies. They got them out and let the kids ride them a few times before the fireworks were lit. (That was AWESOME!)


While in Twin Falls Idaho we went to the temple open house. I guess we should not be facing the sun because we are all squinting in the picture. In fact, this was the only semi-decent picture of my family in front of the temple. The other 4 pictures we are shading our eyes or wiping away the tears from the intense sunlight. After the open house, there was a refreshment center with a beautiful showing of all the temples. We told Jacinda to stand next to a temple picture so we could get a photo. Here she is next to the Germany temple.



Ok so I am a little over cautious when it comes to protection from the sun. The majority of the summer I had on tons of sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses. After what I have been through....can you blame me? This next picture is Tim and McCabe taking a gondola ride in Park City, Utah. McCabe was unsure of the ride but once daddy held him he was just fine.

This is one of the kids absolute favorite things to do. We are making cookies and yes that is cookie dough (with an egg substitute). I am totally embarassed because I know better, however, how can I say no to the kids when daddy is shoveling spoonfuls of it in his mouth.

Ah yes....what is a summer without crafts? This is a visor that Jacinda decorated with stickers. Note it is 1/4 of the way completed. By the time Jacinda was done, she had so many stickers on her visor she could have decorated 6 visors with her one.


I love this picture. Look close. This is Jacinda's way of saying "I love you," in sign language. We keep telling her that her thumb needs to be out but she refuses. Well ok then little one. I love you too and keep ROCKING ON!!

Summer fun at the "beach." We love bar-b-ques and splashing in the water.

The kids love soaking up the rays and posing for the camera.

My summer fun is watching Tim. He is hot!!! (I know my sisters are rolling their eyes right now but what did you expect? Hey it's me.)
