Aug

Hold on to your seat this was a big one. We squeeze out every last drop of summer.

Home is a great place to be. Trujillo and Charlotte came and camped out in our back yard. Then we hiked the grotto. The water was freezing but that did not stop the kids. Holden came and spend the day, of course we had to take him to our "new" park. This summer we tried to make it to 7 peaks at least once a week. I made a deal with Denali; go down the big white slide and I will buy him and Colvin got a happy meal. He said mom I am doing this for Colvin since he really wants a happy meal. He LOVED it we went 3 times in a row. Greg and I went down a slid together, the boys were watching Az when we got back a stranger was bouncing her.  We had the cousin party at our house since they wanted a hot dog roast. 

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger; I hooked up the red wagon to the lawn mower and let the kids drag. They had so much fun. We had to bike, we went from park to park but we did it backyards. WOW killer! We have had tons of wasp this year. Colvin got stung in the head. Denali was so sweet all day helping him. Denali also had another dentist appointment.  The boys love playing with their sister. They are always doing new thing with her. They pull her on the wagon and their power wheels.  Something selfish I did was; I got one peach off my tree. I ate it all on my own. Next year I will share there will be more.  We got to watch Darlin and Blazen in a Rodeo. Darlin tied one goat and Blazen roped once. 

Funny Story:we went to Pizza Pie Cafe. The last time we were there was the day I figured I was pregnant. (I Confirmed it the next morning). Little Miss turned 7ms old. Here are 7 fun things; 1. she loves to move 2. she can roll and scoot all over 3. she hate being on her own 4. She loves any food she can eat herself. 5. BEST sleeper 6. Loves playing with phones 7. Here laugh is the best. 

There are miracles all the time; We have been searching for Denali's blue blanket fabric for years. His blanket is in rags. Greg just happen to look on etsy and found 1 yard. Denali and I made him a new blanket. This year we totally spaced Greg's mom Birthday. (how fast life goes on) However, why visiting Gary, Azalyn started to play with Izzy. That was Greg's mom dog. Sweet tender mercy.  Count your blessing, a burden to you might be a blessing to another person. Greg hates the train but the Boys are jealous, they know there dad has the best job. 

Let talk about pumping. When it works it is great but there are so many little parts. I had to buy a new part, went all the way to SL and they did not have the part I needed. Amazon carries everything. My ward was awesome and helped why I waited for my part. 

Trips are always fun; We finally made it to Wyoming. We would move there in a min if Greg could get a job that was not in the mind. The boys had a great time 4-wheeling around, wow did they think they were big. Poor Azalyn had not pooped for a few day. On the way home it all came out, TMI; it was dripping out of her car seat.  Talking about other trip; McCarty is moving. They are moving to the Portland OR area. There is always somewhere to go. Nathan got baptized. Sierra and Preston came down. We all meet at Timber's. When something good happens Satan will try to stop it. Let just say I was not the happiest or nicest person that day. My sibling were driving me crazy. Ended up having some fun memories..  However the lord will let you know he loves you, on the way home we got our dinner free. (See Journal for my rant) 

School: we had Colvin transition meeting to kindergarten. I am so worried about school. We got to meet the boys teacher but how it was set up we did not get to talk to them. Not a good way to start for Colvin. I cry the day the school bells rings I want the summer to last all year long...Greg left for Pen State to start his schooling. That same day Denali started 2nd grade. He told me NOT to cry in front of his class. I might of cried in the car. I was home alone for a week, with the kids and school starting, it was killer. (McCarty came through and I begged her to stay a few hours with me. Sister are the best.) It is about trying. For Greg's home coming I wanted to make posters and have the kids all excited. NOPE, we missed his flight so he had to wait for us. ALL tired and grumpy, kids asleep posters on the table, Some day we will laugh! Colvin started school the week Greg got home. Day one was ok but they it was down hill from there, fingers crossed. 

*Note: we got new phones- that is a love hate for me.
