Our Summer Project

So this has nothing to do with our project but I had to add it anyway. This climbing rose is in one of our trees. I love it. It is so beautiful. It is probably atleast 20 ft. up.

Ok so on with the project. We have been talking about taking out the old hot tub we never use and filling in the deck forever. After the hot tub cover got a hole in it we finally decided to do it. I was afraid one of the kids would fall in and drowned. What a project removing this was. One thing I am totally confident in is my husbands ability to move ANYTHING!!!

And this is the finished product. It is so nice to come outside and just have a space to relax. After the trumpet vine we planted on the other side of the lattice takes off it will be so beautiful and shady. I also had a fun time buying some cute things from the antique store to go out here.

Their Special Day

What a great week this has been. The spirit has been so strong in our house in preparation of Kaylee's baptism and Tessa's blessing. What a good example Kaylee has been to everyone in our family. What a special baptism it will be with so many people coming to see her that have never seen an LDS baptism or blessing before. Thanks to Kristi for taking some of the most beautiful pictures of my girls.

Lovin those dance moves...

These guys and their dance moves crack me up!!!! My little guy Carson is always dancing like this lately. He reminds me so much of Elaine from Seinfield if you watch that show you will know what I'm talking about.

Our summer so far...

The kids got Jesus a #1 dad trophy for Father's Day

We decided this year to do a mini summer vacation. I think it will be our new summer tradition. The kids had a lot of fun.

We went to Lagoon for the first time with the kids. They had so much fun. Who new with a mom and dad that hate roller coasters they would be such dare devils.

We had dinner at the Myan for my birthday. The kids thought the cliff divers were so cool. THey have never been so still in a restaraunt before.

The most favorite of all was the hotel with the really fun pool and waterslide.

And of course you can't have a vacation to SLC without a trip to the zoo.

Getting so grown up

It seems like just yesterday this little girl was born. She is getting so big and grown up. A couple more weeks she will be getting baptized. What she wanted for her birthday was a caboodle full of makeup and a shopping trip with grandma to the mall to buy whatever she wanted.

3 months old already

Wow 3 months already. She is already getting so big. What a good little girl. She loves her swing. She wishes she could play with her brothers and sister. She is a pretty mellow baby compared to the rest but for some reason she is always crying when I need to run errands. She is starting to look at and grab for toys. What a little sweetheart. She is getting big so fast. As sad as I am that they can't stay little forever I love seeing their little personalities come out and their abilities grow.

Our day at the park

After begging and begging for hours this morning to go play at the park I finally had sometime to go. We were there for five whole minutes when C.J. fell off the monkey bars. At first I did the typical oh you'll be O.K. until I took a good look and saw the bump and how swollen his arm was getting. This kid is my very bravest and hearing how bad he was crying I packed up the kids and rushed to the E.R. After an x-ray the Dr. told us the good and bad news. The good news is it didn't need to be set and it wasn't on the growth plate. The bad news is his wrist is broken in two places and no bike riding, playing in water or riding his 4 wheeler he just barely got. Hopefully it will heal fast and he can have a fun summer.
