Our Summer in a Nutshell

Not in any chronological or particular order, here is a summarized version of our Summer 2011!


We went to the Tuacahn and watched The Little Mermaid. It was the best and the kids loved it!
Courtney got her first black eye. She tried to jump on a bouncing ball and after it slipped out from under her she kissed the tile floor. OUCH!

Randy, his brother Tracey, and his mom Kay went repelling.

Uncle Tracey



I got my appendix out just before summer and I am blaming this surgery on my sudden weight gain over the summer. It's really not to blame, but it feels better than admitting I have stopped exercising and am eating horribly.





Justin turned eight.......and was baptized!




The Whole Family (rarely seen in one photo)







We pretty much spent almost every day in the......


POOL!



We got baby lambs again. We kept five of these lambs and each member of the family gets one. The kids have to help feed and take care of them. (The kids also had to pay $25 of the $50 cost of theirs and after we sell them they get the full profit. Hopefully around $100-140.)


The one and only time Justin didn't wear his rash guard. We can just thank Dad for the horrible skin that burns so easy even with applying sun screen.


We spent a couple Saturdays out on Grandma & Grandpa's boat at Sand Hallow. So much fun except for the swimmers itch we got. And it was just a "mild" case.


Hiking


Justin's Birthday party. He wanted to go boating on Saturday and then to Chuck A Rama for dinner (always make myself sick eating to much and too much variety), then on his actual birthday he wanted a party with friends on Monday. We went to the city pool and then had presents and ice cream cake. Then his favorite Pizza dinner that night. It was definitely the longest birthday we have ever celebrated.


Banana Boat fun


The yummy mint oreo blizzard cake!


Daddy "the boat driver"


A few weeks ago for family night Randy wanted to take the kids fishing. He knew of this pond that had so many hungry fish in it. We caught a fish almost every time we cast out the line.


Ashley


See my huge fish! Still worth a picture.


A little camouflaged, but if you look carefully you can find it.


She wouldn't do much but loved reeling in the line. We had to make her even touch the string for a picture.


Good thing we had daddy to run around putting on all the worms and taking all the slimy fish off the lines. We would have been in trouble.

Hope you don't mind me taking a peek at your blog (and adding you to my list to check in on every now and then). How come I'm so clueless and didn't know you had your appendix out? You would think I would have known that, right? Looks like you've had a fun filled summer!
