Bad Blogger

I have been a very bad blogger lately! We have had computer problems on both computers. My husband fried the motherboard on one of them and the other has spyware problems. Hopefully all will be up and running this week. I have some fun stuff to post from the end of summer. We all started school last week and the kids are loving it and so am I. I am the preschool assistant at Horizon this year. I love getting to play with the little kids, they are so fun and say the funniest things! I am sure I will have many funny stories to come. Don't give up on us yet, we will be back soon!

SUPERHEROES!!!

I was looking through some old pictures yesterday and this one made me laugh so hard. I love the expressions on their faces! Josh has always loved two things- superheroes and dressing up. You have just got to admire his bold fashion choices! Katie is perfectly coordinated with her cat-eye rims and cat purse! Katie was 6 and Josh was about 3 1/2. It was so cute I just had to share it!

My little fishes

I finally got some cute pictures of the kids swimming this year! Josh has turned into quite the little fish. He has been so afraid of putting his face in the water that he still hadn't passed the beginning swimming class. This year we skipped lessons and I am so glad. He was able to discover it on his own and now I think lessons will be alot easier in the future. The first time we went this year he started to get brave. He would take a deep breath and go just barely under and come back up. He told me, "Mom I can breathe under water!" I explained that people can't breathe under water, that's why we hold our breath. He said, "Well just a little bit I can breathe under water, mom." It was pretty cute. Now he just dives in and even has dad push him down to the bottom of the pool so he can float back up to the top. It is so great to see the kids learn something new all on their own! Katie is a huge fan of the waterslide. She has become quite the little thrill-seeker this year! Josh took some convincing but finally tried the slide and now he likes it too.

I need your help!!!!

O.k., time to get creative people! I need a name for my tiny, but growing hoop business! I have been trying to come up with something cute but I need some help! Please post your suggestions in the comments or email me. Thanks!

My favorite new hooper!

This is just too cute!!!!

father & sons camp out (aka-male bonding time)

Josh's favorite picture of his daring stunt hanging through a bridge!

Jeff, Josh and Grandpa Don went on the annual father & sons camp out last weekend. It is a much anticipated ritual that Josh thoroughly enjoys. With no women around to nag them these guys get to really let loose! So what do they do up there? Well, this year I had Jeff take the camera to document the event. Boys will be boys even if they are BIG boys. Josh came home with stories of homemade bottle rockets, daring stunts, manly games, and adventures in the wild mountains. O.K., so maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it is how he remembers the trip! Thanks to Grandpa Don for all the work in getting ready for the big camp out. I know all the boys really enjoyed it!

Fun at the Splash Pad!

The kids have been loving the Splash Pad in South Ogden. I love it too, especially since it is free! I sure hope we see more of these in the future. Yesterday we grabbed some lunch and headed to the Splash Pad with the cousins. They had a great time getting wet and then playing on the playground until they were too hot. Then they would go back and get wet again. Josh loved the buckets that dumped water on his head. Kayden and Skylar liked the water shooters and Katie spent most of her time running around trying to avoid the water shooters. Grandma Dianne and Grandpa Ross got to come too and enjoyed watching all the kids.
