July 2010

Life has been so crazy this summer. Going here or there. I must blog them altogether as there is not time to do other wise. July was a wonderful time for our family. Between camping, family reunions and Marcus' baptism and Mylee's blessing. Here are some of our happy moments. This is the new bike park in Green River. The kids had been asking for many weeks to come. They had a blast even if they left with some scrapes and a chipped elbow. Daddy even joined in on the fun. Mylee's new place she loves to hang out at is her changing table. She will smile when she is placed here. I don't know if it is the fact that she knows her diaper is going to be clean or that she loves to look out the window and at her mobile. Either way we spend hours a day here. I have even laid her on it just to pack bags for trips in her room. Many hot July afternoons have been spent in the pool. The kids have really enjoyed having such a big pool in our back yard. We were also able to help Papa celebrate his 60th birthday. Yes we put 60 candles on is cake. To all of our surprise he was able to blow them all out. Maybe we will get him at 70. To end the month of we had a wonderful time at Lagoon with some of our good friends. Madison and Karli Madison's first time on the Bat. She was so happy that she was tall enough to ride it this year. I think she was a little scared at first. She looks so small in those seats. You have to ride the Log ride. Karli, Madison, Jim, Mason and Marcus. The second Log Kassie, Treyson, Chris, Miles (you can see the back of his head) Cheslie and Zaine (SP) Mylee chilling in her stroller The only ride Mylee could ride. Almost missed this one. Train went a little faster than I thought. We have had a wonderful and great summer so far. It is hard to think that in 26 days the kids will be back in school. Let the count down begin.

Oh so tired

After a long weekend with friends and family. Many people in our house are super tired. Madison today for the first out of all of our kids. Feel asleep in the bath tub after swimming in the pool today. After 45 minutes of swimming she was in tears to come in so I put her in the tub and this is how I found her. She is now sleeping on my chair. She is one tired girl On top of all being tired. Mylee had her first round of shots. We opted to do them in 2 visits instead of one as I could not bear to have my baby get 4 shots today plus a oral one. So she had 2 and the oral one. After a rough morning and some more Tylenol she feel asleep in her swig why the kids played. I always hate these days but I know they are for the best. I just hope she sleeps tonight Here is one of her band-aids. May we all go to bed early and get a lot of sleep, as we are still catching up

Slip and slide summer fun

With the temperature in the mid 90's we had to find a way to cool off. At least the kids did. So they had a blast with a double slip 'n' slide. Miles was missing as he was at the water park with his friends. Mom was trying to clean house so we stayed home. They played hard for over 2 hours. I don't think I want to see my water bill for June.
