Sunsets

All 3 were taken on 3 different days

BBQ With Friends

We had some friends over for a BBQ on Saturday and rented a waterslide for the kids. They played on it all day long and had so much fun!

Miss Karma's Summer Program

Austin was able to participate in Miss Karma's Pre-K summer program. She teaches it with her sister. During the school year for 2 years, Austin would throw a fit every morning when he was getting ready for preschool, but not once did he do that going to Miss Karma's class. Sometimes he would be the one telling me it was time to get ready to go. But sadly the school ran out of funds and Miss Karma found out Thursday morning that it was the last day of the summer program. She had been working so hard with the kids for their little program that they do and now they can't do it! They still had one more week left and the district didn't approve it. So luckily I had some roses blooming and we were able to give Miss Karma her favorite color to thank her for a wonderful summer program!

 We rode the Trax down to Temple Square yesterday. I wanted to try out my camera on the temple. I need something for my wall. I still didn't find what I was looking for for my wall. I'll try back in the fall. But it was fun to practice!

I need to figure out what this rose is because it needs to be in my garden!!!!

From Our Garden....

David shook hands with Mitt Romney on Friday. He went down to Hires where he was doing a speech and was on the news for a couple of seconds.

Visiting Cousins

 My sisters kids were in town so we drove down to spend a couple of hours with them. We haven't seen them in a 1 1/2 years so it was great getting to know them again.

 I didn't dress Addie....don't ask

 This one I wanted to sneak in my car and take him home! This is Charity's newest and it was the first time I had ever seen him...it was hard saying good-bye

I took over 200 pictures in 3 hours so these are just a few....

My Peonys

YUM! I planted these last year and I finally get to see them bloom!!! I have 6 bushes and only 3 of them bloomed so I can't wait until next year!

I had a day off from babysitting and the kids didn't have any summer school so we went to the zoo. I thought Austin would really like the zoo since, well of course the zoo wouldn't have dinosaurs...I guessed wrong!! Its their new exhibit and they were EVERYWHERE ROARING AND MOVING!!! So Austin again wanted to leave within the first 30 seconds, but it took me an hour to get there so he just had to pray the dinosaurs weren't going to come after him (or somesome else might!....Like me!!!)

He still refused to put down his hands so Aubree had to feed him his cotton candy!!

He finally snapped out of it for about 15 minutes.

I told Austin that might be him if he doesn't stop crying!!!! (By this point I had listened to him scream, "I want to go home!!" for about 3 hours so I was fed up. I didn't want him to ruin the trip for the girls so I made him stay. I think next week I'm going to try a farm (and call ahead to make sure their aren't any dinosaurs!)

I love making flower arrangements around the house especially when they are free from my garden!
