Summer Fun

The kids were sad to have to say goodbye to their Weight Family cousins last week. They had been spoiled with the Kentucky cousins visiting for 2 weeks and the Missouri cousins for 2 1/2 weeks. We enjoyed some time with them in Yellowstone, had a sleep over, played games, did baptisms in the temple, watched parades, etc. It was a fun visit and we can't wait til they come back again.

I haven't taken enough time lately to be social and enjoy my friends. The gals from my old Green Park Ward got together for lunch on June 24th. It was SO GOOD to see them, chat about the families, swap parenting stories, and just catch up. I sure miss these women. Thanks for being my friends and still liking me (or at least pretending you do) after all these years. Love you guys!
We got to enjoy another year of Lehi Roundup Week. Jake and Kelsey helped pull the Northlake 1st Ward Float. Our float was the "Three Little Pigs." The kids were hot and sweaty after but had a good time.Finally, we took the kids to see Toy Story 3 last weekend. Wow, I am a bawl baby!! The show was awesome but I was in tears 1/3 of the time. It really is sad to think of the kids growing up. Don't get me wrong, I don't miss diapers for a second, but the older my kids get, the more I realize they aren't going to need me anymore in a few short years. I guess that's why we try so hard to build a good loving relationship so even if they don't "need" me, they'll "want" me in their lives.
