It's been a fun and busy summer so far and we have tons of stuff still planned. So much stuff that we won't be able to do all of it.
Lately, we've been able to enjoy the shady evenings in my parents back yard while the kids play in the water. Good times. Aydri looks really sweet in this picture, but you should see the girls fight over this chair. You'd think they'd like the pink one more.









After eating, riding the four wheeler and visiting with family. Jared, Jana, and Adrian went for a bike ride down the Virgin River Rim trail from Navajo to Wood's Ranch. Jared forgot to give me the keys to our car so I got stranded up there. I didn't mind. I could stand a few extra hours in the mountains. Stac and Rob rode to where the trail crosses the road to catch Jared and got my keys for me, thank goodness. We got home just in time to run to the theater and catch the new Eclipse movie. Sorry, I thought it was dumb, but I'm not a movie person. Books are always better. Jacob is a psychopath in the movie. We got out of the movie just in time to see the fireworks. I was so tired, and a little disturbed from seeing vampire heads fly, that I couldn't even put a sentence together.
Kendi loves baking with her Easy Bake Oven. I have to limit how many times a week we make treats. She is always creative with how she makes them. By the time she is done, she has licked so many spoons and bowls that she doesn't end up eating the finished cakes. Frosting on the forehead.


This is what we've been doing the most of lately. Riding around in the car looking at houses and lots for sale. The kids have always been good in the car, but this summer we have pushed them to their limits. Poor Kids. Fortunately, we have settled on building a house. . . ourselves. I absolutely love the lot that we found in a great neighborhood and can't wait to get started. My dad is letting us modify a home plan that he has built several times so it will be exactly what we want in a house. I think it will be a place we will live, raise our kids, pay off and retire in.

So, you are going to build?! That's great news. Sounds like you are having a great summer. We miss that neighborhood, but it is so nice having your own place. And I agree with you, I didn't like the Eclipse movie either.
