I loved Carl and Ellie's love story! It was alot of fun and a cute movie, though I never did figure out where all those dogs came from and it still bugs me! We had John's mom pop us a big bag of popcorn {I don't know what she does, but this lady can pop the best popcorn ever}, grabbed some drinks and treats and headed out! Halle fell asleep about 45 minutes into it! It was alot of fun ~ and way less expensive than the theater ~ so we hope to go a few more times this summer! And of course I left my camera home and John wouldn't turn around and go get it! Well it sounds like after we get through this weekend the weather should be lookin' better! YEA!! So thankful for...1) great deals at great garage sales 2) takin' my little girls...they love looking for "treasures" 3) went to a great jewelry party the other night and got some cute stuff, I even booked a party so I could get some more!!Is that yours do? So do mine!
Oh what do you do in the summer time when all of your kids are home? Do they run and slide as you cheer from the side?
Is that what you do? So do I!
Oh what do you do in the summer time when your kids get bored? Do they dress up in clothes and put on a show??Is that what yours do? So do mine!
stocked up on some summer reading. The girls picked out a few books and we are reading a series called "No Way Ballet ~ Stepping Out" together each night! I checked a few books out for Justin...one called "Supersonic Saints" by John Bytheway. It's about LDS pilots and some of their experiences and Jace is reading the "Rowan" series. I checked out "Teaching With Love & Logic", John always rolls his eyes when I read these "self-help" books ~I also went to Deseret Book and bought "The Five Love Languages." We truly each have our own "love language" and if we learn what each other's is, we can really "communicate"! I also want to read "My Sister's Keeper" but I don't know if I want to read it before or after I see the movie! I forget what a great little library we have right here in Shelley! Off to bed...have a busy week! The girls start swim lessons in the morning! I checked the weather forecast and it looks like we might have some warmer weather headin' our way! Keep your fingers and piggies crossed! Going to try some new recipes this week. I only post them after I try them so be on the lookout for those over at "Cooking Mama's." So thankful for...1) got a new calling in church today, should be fun 2) substituted in primary today...I miss primary 3) FINALLY got the gift card to my dear friend who won my giveaway!! We were going to meet for lunch, but life is just too crazy right now so I dropped it off at her house and she had this for me {I snatched this picture from her blog}...
Jace had a game in Rigby that we had to hurry right up to. It was their last game and they won! Jace hit the ball got on first and the bases were loaded and his friend hit a grand slam and they won the game!!They are all done with their season but are playing in three tournaments this summer! Which he is excited for since he didn't play much during the regular season due to his elbow..."stupid dumb elbow" which he cries out in pain as we are doing his therapy!! I can't believe how that really screwed up his elbow like it did! He still doesn't have full range of motion, but we are getting there!! Justin did a few jobs for Mike yesterday! He drove "orange boy" around yesterday!
For now that seems to be his mode of transportation {which he by no means is complaining, him and John are thinking of putting a regular bed on the back}! He earned some money but it was hard work and he was sooo tired! He had to remove some rocks from a ladies flower bed, load them in the back of "orange boy", then put them back later on in the day, and then Mike had him pick weeds! He's a hard worker and was so glad to take a hot shower and crawl into bed last night! Hannah had a fun day...every Tuesday and Thursday all the little girls in the neighborhood {about 10 of them} her age get together and do a activity for a couple of hours. All the moms are taking turns doing a different activity. Yesterday they rode over to have lunch at the school and played on the toys! Then a few of the girls and her went swimming! She too just falls into bed each night! Actually we all do! We are all night owls!! We play hard all day, stay up late, and sleep in!! So far we are lovin' summer! So thankful for...1) my kids, we are still adjusting to our summer routine, but I love having them home 2)we had the weed man spray for grubs {grrr}, hopefully it works and our lawn won't look like it died this year 3) got me some flowers and hanging baskets ~ love them!! Have to give a shout out to my brother-in-law Mike B. ~ it's his birthday!! Happy Birthday Mike!! Today is also the the day the Teton dam broke ~ June 5, 1976...33 years ago! Wouldn't that have been crazy to be havin' a baby while all that was goin' on? We love ya!!
KTM, Tiger Woods, Oakley, Fox, Trout Bums, Alpine Star, Kicker, STI {Subaru car}, his initials, and some doodling. He got an A! He took the rest of his finals today and can you believe the last day of school is tomorrow? CRAZY!! Went and stocked up at the Wonder Bread Store with Twinkies, Ding Dongs, fruit pies, and bread {my kids always resort to toast with freezer jam for a quick snack, so we need plenty of bread}! Off to take Halle to t-ball...her is so excited!! So thankful for...1) Jace will be home tomorrow, he's been at science camp, miss him 2) last day of school is tomorrow 3) getting ready for a garage sale, my basement is CLEAN!!
Halle and her Great-Grandma Fillmore...Me and sweet 'ittle lady!! How I love her! She is such a good little girl with such a sweet ♥ and loves her mommy! She's my helper, my shopping buddy {she actually hates to shop but I drag her along and bribe her with McDonald's} and my little chef! Before I know it I'll be writing about her high school graduation!
Your dad and I love you and are so proud of you! You are such a blessing to our family and bring such joy and happiness to our lives! Congratulations!!
