Lina's back in town!

Anellina and her family came into town for a few days. Lina and Stockton had tons of fun together. They loved watering and picking flowers outside.


Running around.


Playing on the helicopter.


More running around inside.

They rode around on the deck for a while. Anellina figured out a way that she could get a ride on the back of Stockton's trike. She had to stick her legs straight out, but they had a blast doing it. Anellina kept telling Stockton to "Drop me off here, at the airport." And he'd let her off by the back door.

One evening we went swimming at Jace's house. It was a bit nippy, but so fun! Stockton and Daddy went down the big slide together.

SPLASH! Notice: no nose plugged and eyes wide open. Yeah, it was a little traumatic for Stock. He told me later, "Next time I go down that big slide, I'll close my eyes."

Holly and Lina played cute together.

And Grandma Shawna was there to give a helping hand, too.

We had a BBQ and then just as we were getting ready to leave Stockton got sick and threw up in the car. Little did I know that it would turn out to be a HUGE deal. He threw up the whole way home... and kept throwing up for 6 days straight! The poor little guy was so sick and we think he picked up some nasty bug at the splash park. It was so sad. And sadly a lot of the family caught it too :(

Orgill Family Swimming Party

All the Orgill Cousin's went in together and rented the pool at Deseret Peak Complex.

Stockton ventured into the water with Grandma Orgill, despite cold temperatures and the wind.

Splashing with cousin Emily.

Stock and I went down the water slide about 80 times together. But, once the sun went down, it got too cold and we snuggled up together in a towel.

Trying to stay warm! Brady wasn't feeling well, so he didn't get in. Stratton and Alex goofing off with Brady.

I gave my mom some wonderful birthday gifts. Pink Flamingos... what else!?

Throwing the football to cousins as they jump off the diving board. It was such a fun night with family!

Playgroup

All during the summer we were involved in a playgroup in our ward. Stockton looked forward to it every week and we had so much fun with his friends! Here's some of the fun times we had with our playgroup.


Wild West Park in West Jordan with our neighbor Ethan.


Our neighbors Brittany and Matthew.


Playing at Classic Skating Fun Center.

Stockton loved all the blow up toys inside.

And he liked all the little rides and playing "tokens" (all the arcade games).

Then we went for a dip in the kiddie pool. Stockton loved going down the froggie slide.

Another day we went to he splash park in Herriman.

Some of our playgroup friends.

Playing at the pool.

Snack time.

Stockton over took my lounge chair!

Fun with Anellina

Stockton's cousin Anellina was here this week, so she and Stockton had a lot of chances to play.


They swam in the little pool together. They had a blast!

All of sudden it started to rain, so we came inside. It was over pretty quick so we headed back out. Here they are waitin' out the storm together.


After getting in and out of the pool so many times, the pool started to get blades of grass in it and it kinda grossed out Stockton. So he didn't want to get in anymore. Anellina tried so hard to get him back in. She would take him by the hand and pull him, but he wouldn't do it.



Pullin' faces!



Anellina's 2nd birthday party was on Saturday. It was a full-blown Mickey Mouse party!



Stockton's favorite part was the little slide they had set up. He went down that thing about 80 times... and I'm sure he would've done it all day long if we would've let him. (Holy Moly, does he look like an Orgill in this picture, or what?!)



They played a game with Mickey bean bags, and had fun putting them over the different Disney characters.



Anellina with her Mickey Clubhouse cake! So cute!

Chillin' in the Pool

Since we don't have grass yet, we set up a little pool for Stockton out on the deck. We got some of his tub toys out there and he loved it! Although he thought the water was a little too cold to sit down. (Notice the snow shovel in the background. Only in Utah can you have a snow shovel and a swimming pool in the same picture. It wasn't so long ago that we had to use that snow shovel. Spring was pretty much not existent this year. It went from winter straight to summer.)

Stockton kept squealing because he was having so much fun!

Oh, no! He accidentally fell down!


After he got completely wet, he was a little cold. Here's a little shiver!

Of course he had to taste the pool water and make sure it was good.

Okay Mommy, I'm ready to get out!
