365- Week 33

Our summer days have definitely gotten lazy! I think this is the week that I started not feeling it anymore. Tired of doing everything! Not ready for the kids to be back at school, but done having to entertain them all day!

08/13/11

We went to Cici's for dinner and on the way home we saw this beautiful sunset. I made Chris pull over so I could take a picture!

08/14/11

Nick and Aubrey were laying on the floor in the living room watching cartoons. As soon as I came in with my camera Aubrey had to get up and run away.

08/15/11

Jenny let the kids play dress up with all he costumes. Surprisingly Alex and Cooper didn't mind all the girl costumes. Actually not so surprised about Cooper, but Alex for sure!

08/16/11

We went swimming with our friends from Desert View at the Lewis' home. Alex was mad at me because he didn't want to go swimming and I had him put his swimsuit on just in case. He was so happy when we got there! They have an awesome backyard and I had to make him leave!!

08/17/11

Jenny came over for dinner and while it was in the oven she sat with Nick and started teaching him and herself how to play the piano.

08/18/11

We put a cookie on Ben's forehead "Minute to Win It"style- It was hilarious!!!! He almost got it into his mouth.

08/19/11

Aubrey loves to be at the pool. Not in the pool, just at the pool!

"Field Trip Friday"- Lied Discover Museum

Last Friday we picked up Ben and Hailey and headed to the Discovery Museum. It was kind of hard having the big age range between the kids. Nick and Ben didn't exactly want to do the same things as Aubrey, but until they are 13 they have to all stay with me. I think that Aubrey would have stayed at the first little fishing station all day if I would have let her. She loved it there! I am glad we went because there was so many new things from the last time we had been there.

"Field Trip Friday"- Bounce U

This last Friday we went to Bounce U with Jordan, Amber, Mavrik, Makaylin, Juli, Ben, Hailey, Will, and Lucy. The kids had fun and it was nice to sit and talk with Juli and Amber!

Aubrey, Alex, and Cooper ready for church.

08/08/11

Jordan and Amber got into town Monday morning so we went over to my mom's to swim with them.

08/09/11

Clearly Aubrey slept really good! I love how happy she is when she wakes up!

08/10/11

We finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so we went over to the library to get the movie. And you have to have popcorn when watching a movie!

08/11/11

My Aubrey girl!

08/12/11

Friday morning Chloe and I made some strawberry jam.

Station 65

We didn't get to go on a field trip last Friday (bad morning!) but we did get to go on Saturday Morning. We went to the fire station right down the street from our house. We had a tour of the station, learned some fun stuff and then the very nice firemen let us shoot the fire hose.

I wish I would have got a picture of the crew because they were so awesome with the kids. Great guys! Nick said this is the best field trip we have gone on so far, he absolutely loved it!!

365- Week 31

07/30/11

Baby girl just hanging out while we got ready to go to Chloe's dance recital.

07/31/11

We went over to Jeremy and Juli's for dinner to celebrate Juli's birthday. We don't go over there too often so the kids loved playing there. Cooper and Alex ask me daily when they can go play again!!

08/01/11

We picked up Ben, Hailey, and Will and took them to lunch at McDonald's with us.

08/02/11

We spent the entire afternoon in the pool with Amber, Everett, and Jordyn. Aubrey had a nap and the kids plated so well together. It was actually nice for Amber and I!!

08/03/11

I can't remember where the girls were, but I remember that I took this picture because the boys were playing so well together.

08/04/11

Alex and I are taking a reading workshop at UNLV. I am really enjoying the one on one time we get to have each week. This particular week I got to be Mama Bear in front of the class while they acted out one of the stories they read.

08/05/11

Chloe's hair was getting pretty long and it was driving me crazy! Jenny came over and gave her nice trim, cutting about 4 inches off. It looks so much healthier now!! She also gave all 3 boys a much needed haircut. I think that was the longest my boy's hair has ever been, but they all look so handsome now!!

Showcase 2011

Our little movie star!

Last Saturday was Chloe's recital. She performed a tap number to The Best of Both Worlds.

It was fun to watch her dance because man, that girl has some spunk!

Great job, Chloe, you did AWESOME in Showcase 2011!!

Chloe with her dance teacher. She LOVES her!!

Chloe had lots of family there to cheer her on!

Katie, Josh, Amber, Grandma Karen, and Granny were there too, I just didn't get a picture.

Just wanted to make a note that Chris was pretty sick this day. He does LOVE Chloe and was happy to watch her dance because you SOOO can't tell by his face!!
