It's always good to hear what everyone is up to. We haven't been doing anything too exciting. Trying to help mom and dad get unpacked but that is a scary situation. We are excited to have them close though. We have been spending most of our free time boating (and that will probably be my post all summer). I am truly thankful for Sunday being a day of rest right now, and Kimball is out of town tonight so two days to recover before we head out on the lake again. Both of our upper bodies are so sore but worth it (I guess!). We got out the Great Big Mable tube on Saturday and it is big. I think it will be fun for Bear Lake. We had five people on it and they were out there doing head stands, pretending to surf, and jumping around and it was pretty safe. Our yard has been neglected since we got the new boat but the sod is about ready to be mowed so we are going to have to get back to it shortly. We are excited to have a yard.
Emma is our sweet little princess. She is so excited to start preschool in the fall and we are trying to find her a dance class to start as well. She is taking swimming lessons next week. She is a little timid in the water but she has been practicing sticking her face under water in the bathtub. She is also excited to have grandparents close and asks all the time when we are going to leave so she can go stay at their house! Emma can also buckle her own seatbelt and open and close the car doors. She no longer wants any help with it and it's kind of nice to send her in and only have to worry about buckling one kid.
Edison on the other hand likes to pull his arms out of the top part of the seatbelt while we are driving and no matter how tight I try to make it, he is rarly fully buckled when we arrive somewhere. Edison is our water baby. Kimball is sure he is a future wakeboarder. He loves the water. Even when it's cold and his lips are purple, he wants to stay in the water and freaks out when you pull him out. As soon as the boat hits the water he is climbing out to get in the water. They were showing some water safety thing on TV this morning and he was screaming "water, water!!" from his high chair because he wanted to get in so bad.
Love you all.

What do you mean it is scary helping us to get unpacked, I don't think I understand what that means???
