Another project...

James and I can't seem to get enough of projects. I'm kidding of course, but we did decide to add an island in the kitchen. I needed some more room, my kitchen just didn't work for me. It's still a work in progress, but it's wonderful. This will eliminate the need for a kitchen table. I can't wait until it's finally done.

This Summer

This summer we have been real busy. We have been doing the front yard. We did something different, we made a giant waterfall. We just LOVE it!

Help!!!!!

So I obviously don't know how to do the slide show. If anyone could give me any pointers that would be great.

Our trip to Orderville, Utah

This year for the 24th of July we went down to Southern Utah, Orderville to be exact. James' family owns the home that his grandfather grew up in. We go down there at least once a year. We have so much fun! We have to make our trip to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Rock shops, and any other hiking adventures that we can think of.
Every year we have to do the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. Now that the kids are getting bigger and know what to expect they have so much fun. They like to try and find lizards. This time the younger kids are the ones that found the lizard.
Darren brought his 2 four-wheelers, the kids had so much fun ridding them.
This year we decided to hike Red Hollow. It's alot like the narrows. Tall mountians on all sides. The kids had fun trying to carve their names in the rocks. They loved the white sand at the end of the hike.

Cub Country

So this is what happens when your computer has issues. Our family computer was doing crazy things so I only has my laptop which doesn't have any of my pictures on it. So here is what we have been doing for the last two months.

Brett went to Cub Country on July 11th and 12th. I went with them on Friday and James went with them on Saturday. We had lots of fun! He learned about stars and all kind of things about the galaxy. He played did a frisbee obstacle course, a regular obtacle course. He got to carve something out of soap, with a real pocket knife. They shot off "water bottle rockets". He shot a bow and arrow. All in all he had a great time, and so did all of the mom helpers.

Learning all of the rules to shoot a bow and arrow.

Getting to shoot the arrow. Brett was a pretty good shot. At least he hit the target.

Playing a silly game. They used their fingers as swords, to see who could win the battle.

Doing a frisbee obstacle course. It was fun watching the boys try to throw frisbees under, over and through things.

This is Brett carving a piece of soap. He was real frustrated because he couldn't get it just right. By he had fun and thats all that mattered.

My Girls Graduated Kindergarten!

So today was Kyzleigh and Kyra's Kindergarten program. It was so cute! They did a little fashion show, telling what each kids favorite outfit was to wear to school. Kyzleigh of course went for comfort (long pants and a cute shirt) and Kyra went for the look of the outfit (a cute denim skirt with leggings under and a polo shirt). They are decideing that they want to dress differently so that everyone will know which is which. Then they sang a few songs and then each were given a scrapbook from their teacher of all of the things that they did this year in school. I can't believe that my girls are going to in 1st grade. Now it will only be me and Jace, and he is really looking forward to being the only one with mom all day!
