Our Summer

Where has the summer gone? I look back and wonder exactly what we spent our summer doing. All in all I think we had a pretty great summer. The girls had tons of fun playing with friends, Swimming, and just relaxing. Summer was o.k. for me too. I only had to provide lunch for my kids on the weekends. During the week the school just down the street offered a free lunch program to anyone 18 and under. So we got the privilege of eating free lunch every day with all of our friends and then playing at the park afterwards. It was a win win situation for all of us. The following is a picture recap of some of the things we have been up. Although I must admit I have been a picture slacker. I feel I have miss some really great photo ops.

Our newest toy (luckily none of us have been injured. I wish I could say that about a mailbox and a Cadillac. :))

We have been having so much fun on the Lake. And the girls are so brave they love riding the tube. Maybe someday when I grow up I will be as brave as them.


What would the summer be with out the good ol Manassa Pioneer Day celebration. Thank goodness we had connections this year and the girls got to ride the primary float. That is always a highlight for them.

What would the celebration be without the kids and Papa collecting candy?

Of course we had to ride the carnival rides for a ridiculous amount of $2.75 per ride. What a rip off.

Of course there is always good food and great family.

After the celebration we made it to the cabin for a night. The kids enjoyed it so much. I am so glad that they have that place to run and be free. And I am so glad they have family and cousins to share it with and make wonderful memories with.

We only got to spend a day in the mountains because we had to get back for Aubrie's pre-op appt. Aubrie had her tonsils removed on July 30. She had to have them removed because she had gotten Strep Throat 5 times in 1 year. She was so brave. I asked her if she just want to wait to get them out. She said she wanted them out she was tired of being sick. It took her about 10 days to be fully recovered. She is doing great and you would have never know my sweet baby was with out her tonsils.
