I am playing catch up..hopefully now I can stay on top of it. I have not had time to blog with it being a busy summer but now that summer is over I am all game for blogging now!!
Garrett & Alex started 2nd grade on Monday. They were so excited for school to start. They have been placed into a 2nd/3rd grade split class. They have 3rd graders in there class and will be learning on an advanced level. They are very excited to be in a class with 3rd graders. They have Mrs Markham and they are already loving her.
Rachel took the boys and went to Lagoon with a couple of our neighbors. Michael and their husbands were gone to Youth Confrence. So it was a Mom and Kids day at Lagoon! We had an eventful day: Alex got stung by a bee in the eyelid, Alex and his friend Daxton took off and got lost from the rest of us. Those are just a couple of things that happened but all in all it was a fun day!! (sorry not very many pics my camera died)
During the summer the kids and their friends were HOT so they wanted to run through the sprinklers and play in the pool. This is what they came up with. They had 3 pools and 2 slides and they turned the trampoline into a splash pad by putting the sprinkler under it. They had so much fun!!
During the summer we had a family party at the Dinosaur Park. We were celebrating Michael's Uncle Scotts 60th Birthday. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed playing with our cousins. Uncle Scott had some friends that cooked us all an awesome dutch oven dinner. We love the Dinosaur Park!!
Jex turned 4 on June 16. He has grown up so much and is doing so well. He loves the movie "Cars" so he picked out the cupcake cake and of course that is what he picked. He had a fun time at his party and thank you to everyone that came and celebrated his birthday with us.
Over the summer we went to a Bees Baseball Game with Rachels sister and her kids. The kids had a great time. It started to rain after the first inning so they covered the field and we waited for the rain to stop so they could play again. It was a lot of fun, we wished we could have gone more during the summer but with Rachel working nights it is kind of hard.
Michael and I met on a blind date..it seems like forever ago. When we met we had different feelings about each other. I thought that Michael was a dork and he thought that I was a stuck up snob. Something magically happened over night and I decided to let him call me again for another date. We have been inseperatable ever since. We are each others best friends and love the time that we spend together. We have three boys that we love and adore. Our lives are very busy. We love to spend time as a family and enjoy being outdoors and enjoying all that our Heavenly Father has given us. We hope that you enjoy reading our blog!!
