Stacie's Visit

Stacie and her family came up this past weekend to visit us. It was a lot of fun for the girls to be able to see each other. We went to our Stake 24th of July celebration and the kids got to be in a parade and sing "Pioneer Children" and wear some pretty sweet bandanas. We ate watermelon, scones, candy and corn on the cob (and that was after we ate Subway for dinner!). Fun times.


Stacie and I played music together--she on the violin, me on the piano. It was a lot of fun because we haven't ever been able to do it before. She got piano music that was easy enough for me to sight read and play along with her. It was neat.

We planned menus for our big family reunion coming up. I can't wait to go; hopefully the record breaking heat will subside before we get there in 2 weeks! We also played a little Guitar Hero, though I have no photos. Stacie and Martin took some I think that I would really like to post (hint, hint). We'll see what happens :-)

My girls were surely sad to see them go, but are really excited for the Family Reunion in a couple weeks where we get to camp with them for a whole week!

So I am finally reading these posts. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of guitar hero. I have much better--video of you singing "Bad" I'll see what we can post on Youtube.

Father's Day

So I'm a day late (and probably a dollar short, I'm not sure I haven't looked at our checking account lately) but I was busy over the weekend.  The girls came home (2 days early) and I was in Utah running the Wasatch Back.  And I pretty much missed Father's Day. I got home at 7:30 last night and Colby had made the girls dinner, cleaned up, and started the dishwasher.  They were watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition.  Had it been Mother's Day, he never would have lived it down, but he hasn't said a word (maybe that's not a good thing).  He's a great dad.  As I get teary just sitting down writing this, knowing he will never see/read it, he's amazing.  He's a hard worker and does it all for the girls and me.  He doesn't (usually) complain about anything and does what needs to be done.  He loves the kids and probably missed them as much as I did while they were gone.  I don't give him enough credit for having emotions about anything, but ...

In A One Horse Open Sled

Today we unloaded a couple tons of hay and Colby saddled up Lightening and pulled the girls around our 3.5 acres.  They had a ball and especially enjoyed singing "Jingle Bells...in a one horse open sled."  They make me laugh sometimes.  Ok, fine, a lot of times.

Holy Sm

I started typing in my title and when I finally looked up and saw (at that very point) that I've already used this one. So to reiterate, Holy Smokes! I can't believe how much I have to catch up on! Maybe tomorrow when I don't have visiting teachers coming, cleaning for my mother-in-law to make an appearance, Madie's piano lesson, 6 violin lessons, rehearsal and somehow I found time to pinch poor Meriden's finger in the front door, I'll download some photos from 1. Christmas (What?!? I still haven't done that?) 2. New Years Eve/Day 3. Madison and Mackenzie's first gymnastics meet videos and photos all before we go to another meet this weekend in Salt Lake, making sure I look like a good mom since my mother-in-law is in town (aka having food on the table at a decent hour), teach a few gymnastics classes, getting ready for Madison's big 9th birthday, taking treats into her class and actually getting packed and to Salt Lake all by Friday at 3 pm. ...
