Back to school..meet my teacher.

The girls went back to school. They only had 3 weeks off. But they were excited to move up a grade and meet their new teachers.

July 2008

We tried to do many things in that short amount of time. Things we love to do as a family are: Hiking with activity day girls, the Roy pool is a fun place to go with friends, to Pineview and boating, and barbeque's with family and friends.

Sara's Birthday

Sara turned 8. This is such an important birthday because she was old enough to be baptized. I hate to say that it makes me sad to see them grow...but it does. I can't believe Sara is already 8. I was so stressed when I found I was pregnant with her because Grace was still a baby, but Sara has been such a blessing for our family and I wouldn't have it any other way (to have the girls so close in age). I love you Sara. Her baptism was a special day and most of our family and friends came.

July 2008

July is a busy month. It is the only month the girls are out of school, so we fit in a lot of activities. We love the 4th of July Parade and the fireworks. Sara's birthday is in July. We try to go boating as much as possible. The boys have scout camp. We usually try to have a family vacation. This year the Garrett's were nice enough to take us with them on their house boat to Lake Powell. Then its back to school for the girls.

June 2008

LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER! Kids love to have kool-aid stands. We live on the perfect corner when the other kids are coming home from school. Usually our good neighbors will buy some on the way home from work. We go the Hertiage Days Parade in our town.

Field Trip with Grace

For the 3rd grade field trip we went to the Hansen planetarium. I chaperoned and I only swore once, so that was good. I went with fun moms too, Tonia, Char, and Charise.

David Beckham

For Niels birthday we all went to the Real game against the Galaxy. We got to go see David Beckham. It was so much fun the girls and I had never been to a game and it was a great time. Beckham didn't disappoint either, he scored both goals for his team, it ended in a tie.

Sara's School Program

Sara's program was all about animals. It was fun. She did such a great job.

California Trip April 2008

The girls had the opportunity to go dance at Disneyland. Grace got to a few years ago but this was the first time they got to both dance. We had soo much fun. When there is a group that goes together it makes to a blast. There were many just from our neighborhood and we all did everything together. The Adams;, Lake's, Zoolakis and us. Thanks for sharing our family vacation with us. Uncle Brian and Karen came with us to see Wicked and it was fun. We love to see them when we go to California, they are very supportive.
