So what has been going on with the Richards Family this summer? A whole lot of nuthin and we have loved it. We have actually had a pretty quiet summer for the first time in about four years. We have been at the pool at least once a week and just enjoyed the sun. We spent the fourth of July in Richfield like we do every year. Everyone was able to be there again. Radisyn got baptized over the weekend. She looked so cute. 
We went on a great hike with Tandy and Mel and had a ton of fun (except for the mosquitos).
Played a lot of kickball and a game that Mel & Tandy created. Fun and pretty embarrassing if anyone was watching us.
We also had a family pic taken which is always enjoyable (not).
Kinley had her birthday last week. I can't believe she is 6 years old. I really wish she could just stay this age forever. She is truly 6 going on 16. She knows exactly what she wants. Her hair has to be a certain way. She has to have her nails done at all times and is very particular of what she will wear. But she is also so funny. We are always cracking up at her. She still spends her days making up dances and cheers. She took a couple of friends for her birthday to go and see Despicable Me. Very cute show. The little girls giggled clear through it.
And last but not least Kinley had swimming lessons this summer with the Sandalls. She did so well. Hard to believe that at the beginning of last summer she wouldn't even put her face in the water. She even jumped off of the diving board and after Caitlyn caught her she swam back to the edge by herself. She has just become a little fish.

I think everyone who was a foot taller than her was standing in front of her.

On the 24th of July Ted decided to teach the boys how to kneeboard in the canal at the division gates. I have always been nervous to let them do this. I'm worried about them drowning and Ted says it will teach them to be better swimmers. This is something Ted and his friends did every summer (sometimes a little skinny dipping went along with it after working on the farm all day). So they made a board and we loaded up in the truck and headed to the canal. I'm glad to say that they all survived and the only incident was when Holden hit his head on the bridge. The boys had a BALL!!!
Well football for Holden starts next Monday and Easton starts helmets week on Monday. It's so crazy to think that summer is just about over. It's been a lot of fun and really enjoyable. We'll make the most of the next couple of weeks until I have to go back to work:(
