At school we having a Jump For Heart fund raiser.  Jump For Heart is part of the American Heart Association and they help kids with heart disease.

I am trying to raise $100 and Kaden is trying to raise $50.  We will jump rope our hardest to help raise money.

Since it’s so hot here, many of the local Jr. High Schools and High Schools have “aquatic centers” that are open to the public during the summer. A couple of weeks ago, we took the kids to Hamilton Aquatic Center for the day. It cost us $0.50 for each child over 2 and $1.00 for each adult. Kaden and Spencer brought their underwater camera and helped take some pictures. Here’s how it went:

Spencer and Kaden also ventured onto the 1 meter diving boards and tried 360’s, cannon-balls, and all kinds of tricks.

The water slides were a hit too.  They had two side-by-side slides and we spent hours “racing” eachother down the slide.

So, as you can see, we had a ton of fun for only $4.

Ashton may be small, but his personality is enormous. He now takes time during just about every meal time to entertain the family. He’ll make faces until we’re all rolling on the floor. The funny part is, he can change his expression from second to second. He’ll make a funny smile, then roll his eyes, then make a serious face and peer under furrowed brows, all within seconds. I’ll try and post some video soon, but here are some still shots.

Ashton also now thinks its fun to stuff his mouth full to the max when he’s eating. He almost lost this serious of bites:

But seconds later he was happily trying to stuff even bigger bites in his mouth.

One Saturday in Arizona we went to the skatepark. I did some cool tricks like going down steep ramps, doing ollies, and kick turns off ramps. One day at school I played basketball and it was me against two other people and I had 8 points and they had 10. One day we went to the library and I checked out a rattlesnake book, and two Star Wars books. At school we got some book orders and I got a Pokemon book, a Magic Tree House book, and The Pumpkin Elf Mystery.

I moved to Arizona and we have a pool and a basketball hoop for it. We have a trampoline that has not that much springs. I can ride my bike at the skate park. My cousin Dallin came over and we were about to go at the pool but there was a bird in the pool and then we went on the trampoline and my mom squirted water on the trampoline. I fell and my cousin’s tooth hit my eye.

I went to the skatepark with my brother and my dad.  I rode my scooter.

Done!
