Little Bit of Summer

My Favorite Bowling Picture Ever - Maren and Parker 9/2004

Since we are on year around school here, the kids were in school for the last three weeks, and now have a two week break before moving on to the next grade. We were going to be in Utah for most of the time off, but that didn't work out. So, we are home and figuring out things to do so the kids don't get too bored. Today is bowling, which should be fun. Kate and Parker love it and Maggie has never been. I will take my camera and get some shots. Tomorrow is shopping at playing at Grandma's and wednesday we will brave Chuck E. Cheese for lunch.

July 4th

Coming Soon

A new post!!

This is what Maggie does when you ask her to smile.

So Many Events, So Little Time

I really should try and update this more. That way I wouldn't have hours worth to do at once....

The last couple of weeks have been busy. Kate turned 9. We had a family party on the day of and a friend (High School Musical) party the following weekend.   She had loads of fun.  And I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth everything went.  She is such a nice girl and a huge help to me.  

Parker started swim lessons (which he doesn't really need, but loves) and the kids got out for track break last week.  They have four weeks off, go back to school for about three weeks and then two more off in August.  We switched tracks this year, so hopefully the summer will be a little more acceptable.  I get tired of going swimming everyday. With the temp in the 105-110 range that is the only thing to do outside.  I am hoping school will be a distraction from the heat at the end of July.  We will be going to the river, California and Heber this summer, which will get us away from the heat a little bit.  

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Mom. Thanks for being such a great mom.  I love you!! 

She avoids the camera like the plague, so I didn't have too many pictures to choose from. It was this or one in her bathing suit, I am sure she will prefer this.

10 Years

Isn't is crazy how time flies? Matt and I celebrated our 10th anniversary this last week. Neither of us can believe it has been that long.  I am a lucky girl to have such a great husband and best friend.
