Past Week Re-Cap

Oh man what a busy crazy week. I have hardly anything planned for this next week and I'm so excited!! Yet every time I try and do this, by the end of the week I seemed to have filled it up again. Monday Ryker started another swim class. He took some lessons from Ms Celeste at the beginning of the summer and swimming finally clicked for him so I want him to keep practicing and working on his breathing so next summer he can do swim team. He is my little fish. 
Friday my friend and her fam invited us to the lake.  I got a babysitter for Millie so Ryk and I got to do a little tubin'.  



Me and Nat!!!  Thank you (and Jason) for letting us come.

We took a little break and let the kids find shells and "dinosaur teeth" on the beach. Yes it is a little getto but hey the kids had fun.
Brinnie, Ashlynn and Ryker


While waiting at the dock for Jason to get the car and trailer, the duck were swarming the kids in hopes for food.


As I've said many many times by 10:00am my kids are ready to get out of the house !!! Shaun had to edit and couldn't go swim with us so I decided to take them to Brimhall. Um ...no one was there. It was great. We picked up my little brother and he played with Ryker while I followed Amelia around.  It was so fun and we will be going again so let me know if you want to join us =)


Ryker went down the slide a zillion times.


That evening Shaun went to the movies with his dad and after surging drama I started on the pillowcases we are making for the girls. Very easy sewing it was the cutting them out that took time. I got 15 done, so 15 more to go. I can't wait till Girls Camp
Our ward color is Orange, if you could tell.  Of course it is my LEAST favorite color but the girls like it =)

Happy Father's Day!!! We love our Daddy so much and got him a few fun things to celebrate the day. Something for him to hang at work, Ryker made him a little craft and Millie gave him his favorite candy!!


So who remembers the show Perfect Strangers???? Shaun and I both watched this as kids and thought it was so funny so when I saw it on DVD I had to get it. Shaun and I could still remember the theme song.... ask and we will sing it for ya!!!! NOT..... only in front of the kids =)


Well what a fun day and now we are off to visit my dad and Shauns. I'm thankful for all the "Fathers" out there.

Leah!
I just got back from Camp. We did Orchard Camp which is part of Lo Mia but a smaller camp area. It was absolutely amazing. I got to go with both Ammah as a 6th year and Andelyn as a 2nd. I was camp director this year.I hope to have a blog up in a few days of the events. I'll look forward to yours. What is your calling?
I hope you have a wonderful time and on behalf of someone who knows how much work goes into girls camp. You are appreciated!!!The pillow cases are adorable and so brite and pretty.
YES! I still do photography. I got a new camera a few months ago and I've been taking a lot of Senior and family portraits lately. Call me if you want my services. Although I thought you had someone in your family who takes pics??
