Another Great week

Boy I love my kids. This week was another one full of fun. On Monday I got a call from Dave the red Toyota finally died. So I went down to Burley to help him tow it to the junk yard. It has been a good car we got it for cheap because Dave runs the wheels off of his car. He put at least 80,000 miles on it since we bought it. So it has been a pretty good little car. Brianna said she was glad it died before she got her license but seriously it has been great. Towing it was another story though. Wow it was so scarey. We had a 20 ft tow rope, and had to go 17 miles down the highway. My hazard lights went out so I was terrified the whole time. Dave called me and kept encouraging me. We made it to the junk yard and headed home. So good by little red car. Sure glad we put a new tire on it Saturday. I was proud of our kids, when the car died they had no problem holding down the fort at home while I left for 5 hours. They are so good at pitching in.

Wednesday we camped at Rigby lake with the Maxfields. It was another great day. Melissa, Brianna and her friend and I rode scooters around the lake. I totally felt so young and it was a blast. Brianna has some awesome friends just like her.  Everyone kyacked, watched a movie and just had a great time.

On Thursday I had the opportunity to go to the temple with Brianna and her friends. It was so great. She has such good friends. They spent the day hanging out, eating pancakes and then we went to the temple. After the temple we went to dollar store and had secret sisters. Way fun

On Friday last week we spent the night at grandma and grandpa's since dave was at scout camp. after a couple of fun episodes of America got talent and a good night rest. Naomi, Brianna and I went shopping for school clothes with grandma. I asked Naomi if she wanted to come if Grandma wasn't coming and she said Brianna I need your wisdom  what should I say. So cute she loves grandma. They found some serious cute outfits. Naomi loves leporad print pants and scored on an outfit. Brianna found bright happy yellow pants. and a cute polka dot shirt.

This Friday we went boating with Grandma and Grandpa, we had hot dogs and another great time. I recently lost 40 lbs. and was able to slalom again. So fun. The kids all took a wild tube ride. They love to have grandpa pull him. He has been boating for a lot of years and is really good at keeping the rope tight and giving them a good whip. Kyle tried to ski, I think he will pop up pretty quick next time he tries. He is so daring and fun to watch. Kameron caught a fish on the dock, Hammers shared a dock and where fishing and he caught the first fish. He was so excited we packed it up in a pringles can and brought it home. He was going to save it to fertilize the garden but I think trixter our cat got it. Brielle loves her grandpa and was so happy to be with him on a boat all day.

Dave got a new mower this week and it is a nice one. All of the kids love it, it mows the lawn in half the time. Kyle told us not to use the blue mower because it was making a weird sound, he is so good at fixing things and realizing when things don't work right (our little engineer) anyways, he looked and told Dave the belt was off of it. Sure enough it wasn't on there correctly. It blows my mind how smart he is to be able to figure things out.

Kameron is my math whiz and so today I taught him yatzee, he is constantly thinking up math problems and solving them. For example today my mom said she is saleing her car. The kids asked how many miles are on her car. I said I don't know. The first question Kam asked is how many miles does it take to get to town? I am sure in his deep thinking he wanted to figure out if she goes to town this many times it has this many miles on it. He is constantly trying to figure things out.

Brielle is cracking me up lately. We were playing the game signs with the kids the other day, and we heard the tub running. I went to check on her and she was in the bathtub, Diaper on drain down and water running. She was taking a bath. She also vacuums all of the time with the popper vacuum and gets in the sink to try to do her own hair. If she is hungry and I don't get to her fast enough she gets in the pantry and tries to take care of it. She laughs a lot and still love the song Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

this Week I am thankful for my families health. For bueatiful days everytime we hang out as a family. I am thankful for the Sabath, we have started turning off t.v and it has really made it a special family day. I am thankful for a husband that does his calling and loves us. I love watching him play dodge ball with the kids, or try to fix things for us. I am thankful for my parents who are involved in our lives and love us. I am thankful for the neighborhood we live in the people here are so great. I am thankful for the friendship I have with each of my kids. They teach me so much. Each of my  kids are unique and teach me. I am grateful for the blessing of tithing.
