Beautiful Day

Today we went to a birthday party for a friend. It was planned way in advance, which can sometimes be a little nerve wracking, worrying about the weather. It was great. The party was a surprise, and it was an outdoor barbecue. The location was a park on old mission peninsula....which was a beautiful drive, and a great park. The weather was beautiful, 75 and sunny, no wind, we had a great time. It was really nice just to relax and visit with friends and the kids were very worn out after playing for 3 hours at the playground!

Update....sorry

And...okay, I know that I am a slacker at this blogging thing. We have been busy....let's see.....school is going very good. Tori is a little surprised that she doesn't get all A's. She is in the gifted class, so of course everyone is smart, and she is used to just sailing through and getting all A's. I think it is a good thing to have some challenge. Her teacher called yesterday and said that she is going great, and it is normal for the kids to be in shock when they get a B. Morgan is starting to get the hang of fourth grade. It always takes her a while to get in the swing of things and learn the routine. I don't know if it is because of being hearing impaired, but it usually takes her a while, and then all is good. Of course for Cole this year has been fine, same teacher, same room, and he is enjoying being able to help the first graders out.

We have been working a lot in our yard. We tore it all up, since it was already thrashed from the road construction. We are moving plants, dirt, the fence, the patio blocks, the playground equipment, and more....lots of work. It should look really nice next summer.....

Work has been good. Same old thing.....working 3 days, 7:30-3:30. Mike's work has been very busy. Which is good.

We are planning on going to Las Vegas in November. I am so excited. Mike and I are going. The kids are going to stay here with my Mom. We are going to see Joel, and do a little bit of sight seeing. It will be nice to get away......we haven't EVER done that, getting away with no kids for more than one night. It is in celebration of our 10 year anniversary...wow how time flies!

Nice Neighbors

So....I just met a really nice couple. They knocked on the door and she was like "I need to ask you a weird question" and I am wondering....hummmmmmm.....

They are pregnant with triplets, and were driving by and wanted to know if they could check out my car. They asked me a lot of questions about it, and they think they are going to get one. I just told them the things I like about it, and that was pretty much everything. Anyways....they live just down the road, this is their first pregnancy, and they are really excited! I am really glad I got to meet them, and I am going to visit them sometime....then I can be the weirdo, who just wants to be the friendly neighbor.

It's A Bird......

Cole and I went to see Under Dog tonight. It was really good. We both enjoyed it.....I especially think Cole got a kick out of it :D If you have kids, it is a good movie to watch together.

Short and Sweet

So, over the weekend we relaxed a bit (although Bryson was here Friday and Saturday night). It was nice to be able to stay home and do some things around here. As posted before, Mike put the sidewalk in, and I did some things inside. On Sunday we took the kids to the Great Wolf Lodge! It was so fun. Mike and I were going down the slides, and playing with the kids in the pools, and racing them down the kid slides, it was so fun, and boy am I sore today!

The kids started school today. The girls are in 4th grade! It sounds like it went well, and Cole enjoyed 2nd grade too. I will post some pictures soon, but I am too tired tonight.

Congratulations to the Blodgetts, with the new birth! What a miracle, each baby is :D

Construction

Mike decided to do our front sidewalk today. It looks really nice. Our yard is all torn up from the construction/ripping out of trees/new sidewalk/curbs and whole new "street scape" for the road. Here are some pictures.
