Daily Happenings!

So this is what Jeff does everyday with the children. He is a great dad and always takes time to sit with his children either playing games or watching a movie with them. It is always funny to watch the kids look at each other and say my daddy, while the other one says no its my daddy. We have to constantly remind the children that it is both their daddy.

Slip N Slide!

Labor Day weekend we got together with some friends and enjoyed the thrills of the slip n slide. This would be a first for our family. We really enjoyed ourselves. We quickly learned that the more soap you squirted on yourselves the faster you would slide. At one point I even put on a garbage bag that allowed you to go faster as well which the faster you went the more fun it was. Well some of us enjoyed it. Kensie of course was really mad that we made her go down. She was scared but of course we had to make her go down a few times.

Kaleb on the other hand loved it. He was really excited and had a blast especially when he went down with his dad.

Thanks to Heather she was able to get a picture of all of us going down the slide. Fun times we had.

McKensie seemed to be content sitting on the side lines a little ways away from the slide.

Thanks for no injuries, just lots of soap, water, and fun.

Kaleb's Mishaps!

So of course it never fails Kaleb always ends up with cuts and bruises on his head. The week before he fell at Heather's and hit his chin on the fire place. The very next week he fell outside by the car and hit his head on the sliding van door.

He is a tough boy. Only cried for a little bit and then was smiling eating pancakes. I do have to admit he does have a hard head. I can only hope he keeps the head blows to a minimum.

Relief Society Retreat!

So I was able to get away for a night up to Showlow with the sisters of the ward! This was my first year going on the retreat and I had alot of fun. It was nice to hangout and get to know the women in the ward. Of course I am really bad and didn't take any pictures. We all enjoyed the evening of fun, food, and games!

Day at the Meuseum!

Saturday Jeff & I took the kids to a meuseum. The kids had a blast. There were lots of fun activities for the kids to participate in.

This kids had a great time and it was nice to be able to spend a day with them doing multiple activities.

Mother & Kids Campout!

So I had a week off during the summer to spend with the kids. We got together with some friends and took the kids camping. Kids were not that bad but I did realize that having a husband around does help a great deal.

Kensie & Kaleb had a lot of fun. Of course the kids played in the dirt and got dirty. The dirtier they got the more fun they had.

There was a little stream near by that the kids wanted to play in. The water was cold but very refreshing during the day in the hot sun!

I do say that I learned a few things this trip. Always drive yourself so you have a get away when you have cranky kids at night and bring your own tent. I was greatful to share a tent but stressed out trying to keep my kids quiet to not disturb the others. All and all it was fun and a great experience.

New Callings!

I knew that the Bishop wanted to give me a calling but was having a hard time since I have two little kids at home and my husband works two jobs. So I am really excited to say that I received two callings. My first calling is on the enrichment committee. I am really excited to help out in the relief society and work on helping plan some of the activities. My second calling is in Young Womens. I was called to be the Personal Progress Specialist which they explained to me that this is to help each of the YW set and meet their Goals. I am really excited to start working with each of the YW, and teachers and getting to know them.
