My wild flowers are starting to fill in nicely. I have some plants that I think are on steroids. They keep growing tall instead of growing blossoms. We finally bought some fish for the pond. We still are working on getting all of the rocks that we need. But I think over all it's looking pretty good!
So this year for Father's Day James wanted the kids to pick something that they thought that he would like. We wondered around for about an hour and a half before they all agreed to get him an Ice Cream Maker! I'm not sure it's exactly what James expected, but he loved it! I really think that the kids just wanted some ice cream.
The kids started swimming lessons this week. The weather hasn't been the best, but they've had fun. Today it was raining and we weren't sure if they were even going to have class, but as long as there wasn't any lightning they were good. They had fun swimming in the rain.
This is Brett, Kyzleigh and Kyra's class
This is Jace's class
This is them in the rain. I'm glad that I had some shelter, it sure was coming down!
We had the opportunity to go on a special tour of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple before the actual open house starts. It is a beautiful Temple and I encourage everyone to get tickets to visit this Temple. Make sure you take the time to appreciate every little detail. Even though it's not dedicated there is a special spirit there that everyone can feel. My kids have loved the opportunity to go to the open houses it has taught them many things about what we believe, they talk about it for days after. My girls thought that the Temples were where the princesses live, I told them that it's where the princesses get married. They were excited to think that one day they can be that princess that gets married there. I'm so excited that I can share these special experiences with my children.
Today my baby turned 5. I can't believe that he is going to be starting Kindergarten, he's still my little baby. He is so excited to be 5, he keeps asking "Am I really 5 now?". For his birthday he got a new Spider Man bike, and money, which he has already spent. He bought a book about spiders and a Spider Man heliocopter. 
So the other day my camera stopped working. I hadn't had it very long, so I was really upset that it broke. I was so lost without it, I kept complaining to James and he kept telling me that we didn't have the money for one right now. So I just did my best with the cell phone. Let me tell you a cell phone doesn't even come close to a real camera. After having to use the cell phone at the assembly today and James saw the quality of the pictures, he finally gave in and let me go buy a new camera. He realized that my camera is as important to me as his camcorder is to him. He couldn't live without it. So now I'm back in the picture taking game, watch out world. Thank you so much James you're the best and I love you!!!!
