Swimming Fun...

A couple of weeks ago we went to the outdoor pool and went swimming with our friends. It was nice to get out and enjoy the warm weather. While we were there we put sunscreen on but obviously not enough. When we got home we were all sunburned and now we are peeling. I guess next time we will have to apply more. My friend the other day told me that she read in a magazine that the average family of 4 should go through one 8 oz. bottle of sunscreen in one day at the pool. I don't think we have ever used that much in one summer season.

Spending Time with Cousins

A couple of weeks ago we had my sister Sherrie's kids stay with us. The kids had a great time together. They really enjoyed spending time with their cousins. They played Nintendo DS, Slip and Slide, Rock Band, went to the movies, and had a good time together just hanging out. I think it even wore some of them out including me. I was glad to have them over and spend that time with them since they are moving to North Carolina. We will sure miss them.

Silly Boy!!

So I know that I am behind on my posts, I will try and do better. I just found this picture of Cayden on the camera. I love that he is such a silly boy and is always doing something to make me laugh, just like his Dad.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!!

This weekend while Joe was at the father's and son's campout with our ward, we decided to have a girls night. We had pizza's for dinner and watched the Princess Protection Program (P.P.P.) and we slept over at our friend Laura's house. The next morning we made smores and ate them for breakfast. Then we had fun by making some new vinyl to go in Kaylee's room for her birthday. Thanks Laura for a fun night.

I'm MELTING

Every year since we have lived in our house we have had problems with our central air conditioning upstairs. This year again, it is not cooling the upstairs. So we had our wonderful brother-in-law, Armand come over to take a look at it and see if he could get it working. We have tried everything from refilling the freon to checking for leaks. We even tried a jump start kit on the compressor. After all of this we have come to the conclusion that our compressor is shot and we need a new one. I am just venting but, this is all very frustrating since we bought our house brand new and every year it has not worked. Although, let me add that we are truly grateful for all the work and effort that Armand has put into trying to help us. Armand thinks that it has had a small leak of freon from the beginning. Then we top it off every year and it helps it hold out for another year. This has put added strain on the compressor and now it has completely given out. This could prove to be a very long summer with no air. So if we show up on your door step and we look like we are MELTING, please let us in.

Let me just say one more time, Thank you Armand for helping us. We love you and appreciate all your hard work. You are a great brother-in-law...so glad that Sara married you.

Taking a Dip...

We had fun on Wednesday evening running through the sprinklers. It was so hot, we decided we needed a way to cool off. Mariah and Cayden kept chasing each other in circles, and playing races in the water. I would have liked to have joined them but I didn't want to scare anybody.

Skyler's Eagle Project

Last week while Joe was off work we were able to get started on donations for Skyler's eagle project. We got a generous donation from Industrial Container of (40) 4 gallon buckets with lids. Also, Albertson's donated 10 gallons of water, all the pencils, and all the crackers. They also gave us 2400 cups at cost. Special thanks to these wonderful companies for their help. We truly appreciate it. If there is any family or friends who would like to help us in any way please let us know. We still have a long way to go.
