Happy Happy Birthday Uncle Jeremy


Totally how I remember the first......5 years of his life.. crying.
And no we sisters had NOTHING to do with it... I'm sure of it!!!

This summer has been realitively uneventful. So since I don't have any pictures of a fancy new house, or exciting vacation, I thought I would post pictures Cute Girls!! Since I have been staying home, I have become quite domestic. I canned for the first time last week, and then went to a cooking class on how to use oats in everyday cooking(more than oatmeal in the morning). I have been experimenting with some recipes, and while Todd will eat them, sometimes he not so excited about it. Lastly I have been working on hairdos for my girls. Thanx to some great step by step hairdo blogs, and patient girls, we are getting better. Paige Loves to show her Primary teacher her hair every week-that's right I got some mad hairdo skills(hahaha)!!! Next week the kids go back to school and the craziness begins again!!!!

My cute Brooklyn is 6 years old TODAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT JACKIE!!!! AKA AIDEN and ETHEN'S MOM!

This weekend we took the kids to a state park called "Valley of Fire"-correctly named. Apparently the middle of July is not the best time to visit the park. We went anyway-it was only 110 degrees-cool really(if you stay in the car) We got out a couple times and let the kids climb in the rocks, and THEN we decided to go on a "little hike" less than 1/2 a mile round trip. Apparently, your kids can get heat stroke/exhaustion if you take them on said hike in 110 degree heat through red hot sand, next to blistering red hot rocks, and very little shade(and mom was in flip flops), in order to see a rock!! We totally get parents of the year! After cooling the children down, we did get to see some cool stuff, and then we drove to Lake Mead for a swim. Again, not to refreshing when the air is 110 and the water is warm, but the Kids LOVED the water!! Good Family times!
