Our Goings On

Our family has had a busy couple of months. School is done, sports are done, we just finished swimming lessons, and now we just do piano and every day stuff. We are not planning any traveling and that is quite nice (ask me in a month if I still feel the same). Reygan is doing a cooking class through the city once a week and does like that. My major summer highlight as been the opening of Hobby Lobby on Greenfield yesterday. A bunch of us ladies went and had a great time. I have been awaiting this day ever since I moved here. One will be opening on Signal Butte in Nov. but this will hold me over.

Here are some pictures of our goings on:

This is Ellie's 3rd Birthday. She loved her Dora Cake so much she kept walking around with it and it was pretty hashed by the time she blew out her candles.
Here is Tayte's baptism and those who participated.  It was a great day.
Here is Hayden's 6th birthday party.  It was an Indiana Jones party and all the boys got to find treasures and follow a map.  
This is Daynen as the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland
The school really put on a great play of 5th & 6th graders.
The video of Daynen's solo was too big to upload so I just put a short scene on.




This is Reygan with her Arizona Report she did.


This is my latest accomplishment.  My island and desk were black and didn't work for my house so I decided to paint them green. Excuse the obscenity in the before picture, it was the only one I could find. :0)

I LOVE the green! that looks so good! way to trust your instinct! And thanks for the updates on the kids. Thats one of the things we miss since we moved back to Safford is our weekly drop by parties at Jer and Er's. Tyson will be very impessed with Reygan's AZ report. he teases me I don't know enough about my home state. And way to go Daynen that was awesome.

A big WOW to Daynen, Oh my gosh that kid needs an agent!!! Did you make his costume? And did you make the b-day cakes?? What a great idea for a theme party. Tayte looks just like Harrison Ford. How is your back yard? You seem to always have a project back there? And I like the green too. And way to go on your Arizona project Reygan. It looks very involved and detailed. Did you learn a lot about our State, and did you get to go to the capital?

i love the Indiana Jones theme for a party! Our family just saw it last night (FINALLY!) and it was really cool. Plus, the hat is so cute!

Love the kitchen! You're right - Daynen's play doesn't look like a typical 6th grader's. Love Ellie's buns in the pic - makes it feel more like home, doesn't it?! That's how life really is... Good to hear from ya. We just got back from 2 weeks of girl's camp & youth conf @ Nauvoo, so still trying to clean up. Will blog more later. The Boy Scout camp w/tornado & 4 deaths is where we were the week before, so we are counting our blessings.

Beck, the backyard will have to be on hold until October. The weather dictates all! I really hate the heat right now. But Daynen's costume is from Levi. That is the costume that Joel told Levi to wear to school around Easter (2 easters ago) and hand out eggs to kids and he would pay him $$ does any one doubt that Levi wouldn't do it? So lucky for us we could just borrow the costume. My claim to his costume is DI shopping and making the clock/watch. We do need to thank Happy Gilmore for the sweet green jacket!! Dayenen did do a great job. I will have to see if jer can put the video of his solo on one of D's websites. It really is good.

And as far as cakes go I found a new love of Chocolate cakes. TARGET-they make the best chocolate cakes. We have to get a smaller cake because Jeremy and I will just eat the rest. It is so fabulous!! You have to try it.

And when can we set up AL on a blind date?

I love this!!! Thank you for blogging your life. It is so good to read about what you and your family are doing. And I loved all the comments. We need to keep keeping in touch via the blog like we did while we were on our mission. Let's hear from everyone. We love you and we love hearing about what you are doing.

Um, not to be rude, but isn't that what Nathan & Daniel have been saying for months? I guess it needs to be said by the 'rents.
