Boy Scout Camp

Last night Sean went on his first outing to BOYSCOUT camp. It was so much fun getting him ready and packed for his first overnight with a bunch of boys. It reminded me of my mom getting me ready for girls camp. All of the shopping and preparing. He came home and said he had a lot of fun. He went canoeing, fishing, swimming and of course stayed up late around the camp fire. I am glad he had a chance to go and play.

I put in a few other pictures of our last few weeks in as well. The first picture is of Carson crying because he wanted to watch Spider Man. The second picture is Sean coming home from Boy Scout camp. The third picture is we finally went to his last pack meeting so he can receive his Webloes and go on to Boy Scouts. On the fourth picture I went downstairs to check on Carson and this how I found him, fast asleep with his hand in a bag of chips. The next picture is of Sean and Carson falling alseep together watching T.V. The last picture is of the three kids getting ready go to to Chuck-E-Cheeses at my parents house. That is what has been going on in our house during the last few weeks. Nothing to exciting, but a lot of fun.

Breaking Dawn

I finally finished Breaking Dawn after one long month. I did not like it at all. I thought it was the lamest book ever!! I think I was expecting Bella having an affair on Edward, and Edward finding out. Actually the book would have been better if the baby was Jacobs, but I thought there was no action, no drama, NOTHING!! In fact, after the Volturi scene and everybody "walks away" I refuse to finish the end. I also thought the part of Jacob's "imprintment" on Renesmee (hate the name by the way) was gross. (Actually that was the only interesting part in the book). The sex scenes were very disturbing, and I wish I could get the images out of my head. I also thought there was way to much talking and not enough action. I mean how many times do they all have to go hunt? It seems like that was most of the book. I wish I could take back the three hours of my life when I stood in line for this lame book. If any of you have a different opinion please share.

Sean's Birthday

I am still playing catch up all in a day. Sean turned 11 in July! I can't believe how fast time has gone. He is now in 6th grade and in middle school. I still remember when I had him and how little he was, now he is almost bigger than me. We took Sean and his friends to Laser Mania with two hours of unlimited Lazer Tag, Lazer Golf and arcade games. The last picture shows Sean's birthday invitations that he sent out to his friends. As EVERYONE knows I am not creative at all. So, thanks to my mom and Michelle being at my house when we were making the invites it was their idea. We wrapped up king size hershey's chocolate bars in paper and tied ribbon around it with a note. I was very proud of myself that I didn't screw up on the invites. The last picture is Carly and my very cute niece Leerah. I just wanted to show her off.

P.S. Don't pay attention to my messy counter in the background. We were in a middle of a barbque.

Lagoon

I can't believe summer is over already, it seems like it had just begun. School started last week, unfortunately when I was trying to take a picture my battery died on me. I will have to take pictures of the kids and call it their first day of school. They'll never know right?

So now I get to play catch up with the rest of my summer. In June we took the kids to Lagoon, and we went with our really good friends Billy and Bobbi Kirschner and their three children. They have never been to Salt Lake before, so we took them to Lagoon, Seven Peaks and the Mayan. I am still exhausted from that trip. We had a lot of fun, and can't wait to go to Salt Lake with them again. I am still trying to figure out how to put the pictures where I want them.

Memories

It seems like everyone is posting this post. Since I had a fun time going down memory lane it's your turn.

Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

You're it!

Ok, so my good friend Adrienne tagged me. What the heck is a tag and what do you do with it? The only tag at my house is freeze tag or cartoon tag or good old regular tag your it!!! So with a little help from Adrienne, I think I have figured this one out. So here it goes.

How to play this game of tag.
Post these rules on your blog:List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
3 Joys
1-my family 2-coke 3-sleep
3 Fears
1-Losing my family 2-talking in front of people (not my best thing). 3-not making it to the celestial kingdom. (I'm working on this one.)
3 Goals
1-graduate from Dixie (even thoe I plan on not working afterwards) 2-potty training Carson by the time he turns 3. 3- trying to raise my children to live the right way and stand up for what they believe in.
3 Current obsessions/collections
1- Coca-Cola (I can't get through my day with out one) 2- Salsa (Pancho's and Leftys is my favorite) 3- Chocolate!!!!
3 Random or Surprising facts about myself
1-I am horrible at math. I had to take Math 1010 four times. 2- I am getting gray hair. ( I guess that means I am getting old) 3- It grosses me out when there are burgers hanging out of peoples or kids noses.

Okay Emily, Angie, Hollie, Jessie, Megan your turn.

P.S The first paragraph I stole from my friend Adrienne. I am the least creative person in the world.

The Zoo

The last couple of weeks has been a whril wind of traveling and celebrating the fourth of July. While we were in Salt Lake we took Carson to the zoo for the first time. He loved it!! He has been into monkeys and trains, so when we went to the zoo he was so excited. We were able to go with my sister Michelle, my two nephews and my mom. I am so grateful that my mom was able to come. We have been through so much within this last year. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. I know that he has been answering my begging and pleading that my mom would get well, and because of him my mother has been more happier then I have seen her in a long time. On a brighter note....here are some pictures of the zoo.
