The Holidays 2010....Round 1

Finally, pictures from summer!

Sorry, we really haven't fallen of the face of the Earth!

It has been so long since I posted anything!
Somehow, life gets busy and crazy situations keep you from the little side stuff we like to do.
So, here's what we have been up to in a nut shell:
This past summer we spent 8 weeks working as campground managers! We spent 24-7 up at Willows Camp ground in South Fork canyon. While camping the kids learned how to live in very close quarters, play with rocks, sticks and everything in nature.....And best of all each other.
We where able to see a lot of animals. Some of them where too close for comfort though!
The kids and I where able to come home just in time for school to start (Justin had to stay at camp for two more weeks though.)
I went back to Wasatch for my second year as an office assistant and playground duty. I have been so blessed to find a job that I actually enjoy going to.
The kids where excited to go back to school this year. They where especially excited to be back in the real world and be involved with civilization. Tyler is now in 5th grade, Blake is in 3rd, Kaden is in 1st, and Sydney started preschool. It is shaping up to be a good year!
We are moving AGAIN! We thought we found a place that we would be able to stay in forever but, our minds where changed for us. We where renting a home from friends and planned on buying it but, they stopped paying the mortgage with our rent payments and now the home is in foreclosure. Apparently our friends used the money for other fun things instead of what it was meant to go to.
The good thing is, we found a new house and are in the process of moving. It's only 4 years old and we are excited to have a house that needs no repair and is up to date. That will be a welcomed change!
We've decided to keep the kids at Wasatch and they'll get to hitch a ride with me to work every day. Their new home-school is year round and I don't think I'm ready for that kind of change.
So, we really are still around, just a little busy.

Swimmin at the Roy Aquatic Center.

Our Friend Rachel invited us to go Swimming at the Roy Aquatic Center with her and her boys. So, we loaded up the cooler with Sub Way and drinks

and had a fun day in the sun!!

Sydney going down the frog slide!

Now testing her floating abilities.

Kaden's turn on the slide.

Tyler and his Ozzy look.

Blake was sweet and took Sydney in the deeper part of the pool

and made sure she was safe (even though she could reach).

Ty going down the "Fast" water slide.

The splash down!

Kaden was ready to go home.

By the time I gathered everyone up to go home he was asleep.

Thanks Rachel for inviting us! We had a BLAST!! Even with the sunburns!

Father's Day Fun!

For Father's day, actually the day before, we went to camp and had a BBQ.

We had Justin's mom, my brother's kids, and my parents enjoy the festivities with us.

I forgot we had the camera until everyone was gone.

Here are the few pictures I did take though....

Here's Sydney after playing in the COLD fire pit.

Tyler cleaning out the pit after playing. He wasn't as messy though.

Blake with a grumpy look. I told him to give me a look.
This is his, "I wanna go home" look.

I didn't get a picture of Kaden because he really did want to go home.
His look would have been way worse, and REAL!

Anyway, we had a great time and Justin kinda enjoyed Father's Day!
(He had a bad sinus/head cold)
