Oh, what do you do in the summertime...

Oh, what do you do in the summertime when all the leaves are green. One month down and only 2 to go, today like everyday we are trying to fill the time until school starts. The kids have there chores to do everyday but when that's done its always "mom I'm bored whats there to do". I of course being the mom I say "there is always work to be done" and then the kids say "I'm not that bored".

We have actually been very busy this summer. The kids have the pool in the back yard to play in and if that's to dull they can walk the 2 blocks to the public pool and play with there Friend there. They also like to go to the park by the pool and enjoy the free lunch the state provides for kids who's parents work (I know sounds what it sounds like but why not let my kids go I pay my taxes just like everyone else besides they get to see there school Friends and play at the park for a little while and I get some peace). The kids and I have also been spending alot of time in my garden, the radishes are ready and the tomatoes and peas are almost ready, we cant wait.

But today will be different one of Kaitlyn's Friend was in the hospital last week with a burst appendix and is not allowed to do anything more strenuous then walking so they will be going to entertain this poor little girl for an hour or two while I clean my messy house (that's one thing that never stays done with the kids home)

I really do like summertime and having the kids home. We get to sleep as long as we want and cuddle up in front of the TV and watch Mythbusters all day. (If only I could keep my house clean it would be perfect).

Fathers and Sons

Its our wards Fathers and Sons outing tonight. Jason took the boys and went up the canyon. So its just us girls tonight. They had a great time I gave them some money and they went to the Marion's for a burger and to a movie, (Surfs Up) with there cousins. So basically it was just me at home tonight I rather enjoyed it, I got the remote, I watched what I wanted, and it was quiet. I need to do this more often. Next week Jason will get a couple of nights home alone when I take the kids to Utah Valley with me on Tuesday, we have a Dentist apt. We are also staying for Strawberry Days in Pleasant Grove (cant miss those strawberry's and cream) and the rodeo Thursday.

Hopefully I wont forget my camera. I now some of you would rather see pictures, then read, much less boring!

Oh and one more thing, hopefully well be able to find us a new car, HURRAY!

It's been a while

I noticed today that it's been a while since I posted. We've been very busy. For those of you that new her and have not been told Jason's Grandma E died last week. She hasn't been doing very well for a couple of months now, and after a stroke on Tuesday, she was pretty bad. She died in her sleep at about 4 o'clock Thursday morning. She was a sweet lady and well loved by her family, and I'm sure it was a happy reunion with her husband that died almost 40 years before her.

Shelbie had a great time with the orchestra last week as well. The teacher had planned a day camp for all the students to attend. They went every day and learned 3 new songs, went to the movie (shrek 3), on Thursday they went to the pool, and on Friday had a concert to show off what they had learned. She had a great time and her group was really good at the concert. We forgot to take our camera so just imagine her sitting there with 30 other students holding a violin.

As for the rest of us were just trying to make it through the summer alive;)
