Monday, August 18. 2008Happy Birthday, Ma! Today is my mom's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!! The kids wanted to have a little party in her honor, so we made her a cake. The kids wondered what had happened to me when I told them they were actually going to decorate the cake themselves. (I never do messy activities with my kids.) They did a pretty good job, if I may say so myself! Continue reading "Happy Birthday, Ma!" Friday, July 4. 2008Happy Fourth of July I so needed today. This has been one of the most wonderful, relaxing days that our family has had in weeks...maybe months. Our calendar for today was completely empty. We all slept in, and then had a laid back morning. Continue reading "Happy Fourth of July" Thursday, July 3. 200851's Game Tonight we went to a 51's baseball game. We went with a group from church, and had a really good time. It was super hot (115ish) and the game didn't start until 7, so it made for a late night. But the kids were awesome, and really enjoyed themselves.Continue reading "51's Game" Tuesday, June 24. 2008VBS We visited another church this week for VBS. Our church is having a 5 week VBS this year, and I wanted the kids to experience a weeklong one. We all had a blast. This VBS was held at Green Valley Baptist Church. They had over 300 kids in attendance! They also had a VBS for Mom's to attend while the kids were in class. I really enjoyed that and made a lot of new friends. Continue reading "VBS" Saturday, June 21. 2008More fun at the pool I know it's been a while since we've given you some pictures to look at. We've actually taken quite a few recently, but we've been having so much fun making picture worthy memories that we haven't taken the time to share them with you.We've been going down to the pool pretty much every chance we get. The kids are completely confident now (sometimes too confident), which makes it a lot more fun. Laura has been at her homeschool convention yesterday and today, so I got to take the kids by myself both days. I forgot to take the camera yesterday, but since we finally found a deal on a new camera, I wasn't going to forget to play with the new toy. Click through for the "worth a thousand words" fun... Continue reading "More fun at the pool" Friday, June 13. 2008Poor BabySaturday, May 31. 2008Petroglyph Canyon Trail Today we went on another hike. We drove about an hour into the Valley of Fire, and found a small trail called Petroglyph Canyon Trail. This one was incredibly different than our last one, and the scenery was gorgeous. The trail was sandy, which made for a more difficult walk, but there were lots of nooks and crannies in the rocks for the kids to climb in. As always there are bunches of pictures. Click through to see the gallery. Continue reading "Petroglyph Canyon Trail" Wednesday, May 28. 2008Cubbies Closing Program Seems like just yesterday the boys were starting Cubbies at our new church. But tonight, they had their closing program! Both boys finished their book, and received a certificate and a little bear for their vest. Please excuse their silly faces. I couldn't get a normal smile out of either of them. Click through to see the pictures and a video!Continue reading "Cubbies Closing Program" Monday, May 26. 2008First Creek Canyon Today our family went on a hike in First Creek Canyon. We had such a great time. The weather was gorgeous, and the kids were well behaved. I was surprised that the boys lasted the whole time. Two and a half hours is a long time to walk! But they were such troopers and did a great job.Continue reading "First Creek Canyon" Sunday, May 25. 2008Family Fun Tonight we didn't have church. It was supposed to be "family night", and the pastor encouraged us to spend time with other families from church. Unfortunately, that didn't work out for us, but we did have a good time!
