Roses are red.....

or in this case orange.... but what rhymes with that

Flippin frogs.....

wish I'd have thought of this game.... The kids LOVE it!

Hi-ho.. hi-ho.....

it's off to the mountains we go... to spend a little family time.... hi-ho hi-ho.....

Backpack.. backpack.....

They have been wearing backpacks everyday, trying to be like big brother Kadin

A night out.....

with the girls, Kadin and a headache that tagged along

The 3 little......

helpers..... working together... well some of them

Meeting new friends.....

by old friends getting together

Like mother......

like daughter

First day.....

of 3rd grade...... REALLY!?!?...... He was up, showered, dressed, had breakfast and made himself a lunch all by 7:20 A.M.... Yes, he's excited!!

This is what we do....

when the power goes out at Grandma's house.... go outside, have a light saber fight, jump on the neighbors trampoline and set up the "tiny babies"

Cute cousins....

eating pizza and having fun!

Last weekend....

before school... enjoying the weather

VERY productive day.....

baking cookies, going swimming, eating at chili's and learning to ride on 2 wheels!!!

Summer is almost gone...

and boy am I ready for school to start... my head is killing, my house needs a good scrub and school starting means hockey isnt far behind!!! *side note: our dog found a rat today I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of it... You're Welcome!*

SERENITY NOW!!!!.....

just one of those days....fighting kids and a 2 year old flooding the bathroom...

Now Playing....

Kung Fu Panda for family movie night.... can you see the excitement in their faces?

5 days....

and not one bottle... I feel like my baby grew up so fast!!

It's been 10 years....

no, not that we have been married.... but since we graduated high school... I guess it's time to act like a "grown-up" now!

Sometimes owning a business....

has it's rewards...... even if it's just a cookie monster cookie... it's the thought!!!

After dark.....

movie in the park.... "cloudy with a chance of meatballs".... a favorite of ours.... just wish the sound would have worked the whole time.... oh well.... YAY for free family fun!!!!

Please tell me......

why one of these is so hard to get rid of and the other rejected as if it were gasoline but yet both hold the same liquid.....

Oh so close.....

to a fully fenced, flowered, finished backyard!!!!

Always ask questions.....

before buying something off KSL when your husband has to drive 1 hour to get it.... can you tell they don't match

ZZZZzzzzZZzzzzz......

Home again home again...... 3 kids getting little sleep in a hotel for 2 nights + being home = early bedtime and a quiet Sunday night...

Lots of great fun....

Going swimming, golf ball hunting, goofy goggles and great green views!!!

On our way....

To Midway for a fun little getaway!

That's a really big....

Tree!!!! Totally worth it!!

We're crafty......

Or this is just my attempt to keep us all from going crazy these last few weeks of summer!!!

Dinner with friends......

followed by a fun family bike ride!

GAME ON!.....

Family game night full of candyland, chutes and ladders, goofy goobers and doughnuts!

The aftermath.....

Thank you Mother Nature for the great storm but the wind was a little much!!
