This Week

Wow what a week!
Monday- Labor day.  we worked on the playhouse Yeah. The kids wanted the slide inside and Dave is making it happen. We are excited for the playhouse. The kids painted the tramp stairs, thing outside and picnic table a bueatiful blue. It was fun to work hard together as a family. Naomi loved to paint and was proud of herself
Tues- Brianna had a volleyball game and rocked it, she is setting for her team. I think she got all of her serves of, set great and played her hardest. I love that she always gives it 100% seriously I don't care as much how good she does (even though she is so good); I care more that she gives it 100%.   I am proud of her happy attitude. she worked sooooo hard this summer and has really gotten better settings, hitting, serving and passing.  She could have played on the A team but the B team needed a setter, so she said she would set. It was not an easy decision for her, since she is so competitive I am sooooo proud of her for praying and being a team player. She is amazing and sees the big picture. Wow what an example. Go Bri

Naomi's teacher called me and said she is doing great. I love it. Kyle has a real gift to be friends with anyone. This week

Mom- This was a magical summer. I feel so blessed to have made the memories we made. Words can’t even describe how incredible it feels to be a mom of such great kids. When summer began this year we decided that we wanted to get season passes for lagoon. Wow how fun. We ended up going down there 9-12 times. Everytime was so fun. I am like a little kid when it comes to lagoon.Dave would take the two little ones and I would go with the older ones. The boys love all of the rides which is so fun for me  and Brianna conquered her fears at the first of the summer she could only ride bombora but by the end of the summer she rode everything with the exception of rocket. I loved Naomi with her map and she ran all over the park from ride to ride. Especially lady bug bop. I loved going with the millers and having sweaty armpit high fives.  I loved watching Dave with the kids he loves being with his kids. (he was even willing to ride cannibal and was sick all day) I loved going with my kids’s friends they have amazing friends and it was a blast to be with each of them. I loved going with mom yesterday and watching how excited Naomi was to be with her. Talking , missing the turn off for Pocatello, and eating 10 lbs of sugar. I loved our Lagoon routine drive down ; rides for 2-3 hrs. ; lunch; lagoona beach for a couple hours; rides for another 3 hours lots of ice water, grab dinner and head home. I feel more in love with each of my kids as I spent time doing lagoon activities with them. The weather was always perfect and I felt we were truly blessed. Camping was another amazing event, we could pack in less than 30 minutes and would be out the door for an adventure. Our kids were awesome workers.
