- These are the types of pictures I find on my phone! Addy is such a silly girl! (I have no idea where she learned the duck lips look:)
- This week Bodee and Brynn attended a basketball clinic put on by a couple of boys in the neighborhood. Bodee was SO excited for it every day! The last day they got certificates and medal. Bodee got 'Most Improved' and Brynn received 'MVP'. Great job kiddos!
- Wednesday night, before Todd left for San Deigo on Thursday he wanted to take me on a date. Originally, we weren't planning on attending Strawberry Days this year (going to Lehi instead) but we decided to go there for our date. The temperature was pretty cool but great for a rodeo. Strawberries and cream...that's all I have to say! Love this guy!
- Friday morning we kidnapped Marci for her Birthday and took her out to breakfast at Eggs and I in Draper. Great company, good food! I really appreciate all these ladies in my ward who I am so blessed to know and who help me be a better person! Lots and lots of laughs this morning!
- Todd's pictures from his work trip to San Diego. We went to San Diego in May when we visited Sea World but we didn't travel around the city. Todd was able to stay right in the city on his trip and loved walking around San Diego.
- Last week Addy and Brynn went to a Girl Scout Day Camp put on by our Service Unit. Since not all of our troop could attend that day camp I put one on for our troop this week. Tuesday we did lots of crafts and songs. Wednesday we went to the new Children's Museum, out to lunch, and then swimming at the Legacy Center and Thursday we went bowling and for ice cream cones. It was a busy, exhausting week but the girls all had a great time. The funny part I completely forgot to take any pictures until Thursday but we were missing three girls! Big thanks to Marci for being a terrific co-leader!
- Saturday morning I ran the Utah Valley Half-Marathon. It was my first half-marathon I ever raced! It was a great distance and all I could think was "I'm so glad I'm not running the full":) The first few miles were hard because I had a huge side ache but the rest of the race was great.
- Of course I ran with Merri (but she ran much faster than me:). Here she is snuggling up in the early morning in her foil sleeping bag. The things we do to run a race!
- Saturday afternoon we headed up to Sandy to play on Faith's team. Shawn had called and needed a couple of extra players for Faith's team that he coaches. Addy and Brynn were all about playing and they did really good...especially since there were no boys playing! It was super cool watching Addy step up and she even made a goal.
- Bodee, Mia, and Noah hanging out and watching the game!
- Sunday was Father's Day! Todd really is a terrific Dad! We are all so lucky to have him in our lives! He is funny, silly, playful, hard-working, loyal, loving and a worthy priesthood holder. The kids really can't ever get enough of him. Todd bought himself a pistol a few weeks ago as his Father's Day gift but we had to also get him a new drill since his has seen better days! We picked him out a Makita Compact Drill and he really likes it!
- Sunday was 3rd Sunday Dinner/Father's Day Dinner. June is Brynn's birthday month as well so she got to pick out her dessert for dinner. We bought a cheesecake and make her favorite peanut butter blossom cookies with ice cream! Beautiful Brynn!
- The kids always love 3rd Sunday Dinner but even more so in the summer when they can stay late and play with their cousins!
- First week of summer! This meant chores, reading, swimming, basketball, soccer, cousins...and of course...Girl Scout Day Camp! The girls had a great time this year!
- Monday night we met up with the Ross Family at the Farm at Thanksgiving Point. It was totally empty! The kids loved it and loved spending time with the Ross kids.
- Cambree and Chrislyn came up from St. George this week to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa. Unfortunately, because of day camp and sports the girls really didn't get to see each other much until Friday. Chris, Cathy, Amy, and I took all the girl cousins to Seven Peaks. They have a terrific time, even though the water was COLD! They even got to stop at McDonalds on the way home and have dinner together.
- Sad! Cambree and Josie are missing from the picture...but they were there too!
- Friday night while the girls were at Seven Peaks, Todd took Bodee on his first Father/Son camping trip. They loaded up and headed up American Fork Canyon. They obviously did lots of 4-wheeling and even found a dear that had just been hit. Todd had the best time with Bodee. He can't wait to take him again!
- Saturday was the last day of the spring soccer season. I really enjoyed coaching Addy's team this year. I could tell they really improved over the season!
- Thanksgiving Point had a D-Day tribute for the weekend. I took the kids over and they got to see a couple army trucks used on D-Day. A half-track and a jeep. I gave the kids a mini-lesson on D-Day and they thought the trucks were pretty cool.
- The girls (and Emma) have started taking weekly golf lessons from Amy again this summer. Todd took all the girls out on Saturday night and played a few holes. They are coming along nicely!
- Monday was Memorial Day. Todd wanted to honor Uncle Craig since this was the first Memorial Day he wasn't there to give the tour. It was sweet of him to put together a breakfast (Eli, Craig's son, wanted to go to Cracker Barrel) and then we headed over to Provo Cemetery and Uncle Mike gave the tour.
- Selfie at Cracker Barrel
- After touring the Provo Cemetery, we headed down to Spanish Fork Cemetery with Chris and Cathy. Todd and Bodee visiting with a Deverl:)
- Then we had lunch at the Art City Trolley..cool grandpa!
- Thursday was the Riverview Dance Festival. I thought Todd took pictures but all he took were videos so I have nothing to show but the girls were cute at ever. The kindergartners danced to a country song and the 2nd graders danced to 'High School Musical'. So adorable!
- Friday was the last day of school! I can't believe it is already over. These cute ladies are growing up so fast!
- This weekend we got a babysitter for the kids and went out to dinner with the Rosses. We hadn't seen them in a long time and I hadn't even seen their cute baby girl yet so it was a really nice evening. What a great couple to spend time with!
- Guess who learned to ride a two wheeler this week? This kid is such a stud!!
-
- This week was busy just getting back in the swing of things after being gone to Virginia.
- The new Children's Museum opened up at Thanksgiving Point so I took the kiddos over there with Merri Hackett. They really loved it!
- The girls have been busy this week finishing up the last couple of weeks of school. They also tried a tumbling class and loved it so they are going to start taking weekly lessons.
- Friday night Todd and I signed the kids up for 'Parent's Night Out' at Gymcats (the tumbling gym). It was a hit and we loved having a long date night out!
- Saturday, Bodee was invited to Chuck E. Cheese for Emerson's birthday. Cute boys!
- Saturday night Todd and I attended the wedding of some friends in our ward, Jenee and Ryan. The wedding was at Talon's Cove Golf Course. It was a beautiful day and we are so happy for them.
- Big news of the week??? We bought a VAN...AND I LOVE IT! It really is everything we have been looking for. Todd is so good to me and gets me pretty much everything I really do ask for. Love him!
- I bought Bodee an umbrella and he called it his 'hooker'...because of the handle at the end. He's a funny kid!
- On Thursday night I flew out to Washington D.C., met up with Gerren at the airport around 11:30pm and we drove down three hours to Mom and Dad's house (in the pouring rain!). Mom and Dad were even waiting up for us when we got in at 3am. It was so good to see them both. I had been so worried about my Dad since his stroke so it was great to see how well he is recovering.
- Friday, Gerren and I went for a run and then Mom, Dad, Gerren and I went to Panera for lunch and then to a movie.
- On Saturday we all (including Dane) walked around Smithfield and saw the sights and went to the farmer's market. We then drove up to Chesapeake Bay, which was a beautiful drive and over some amazing bridges and ate at 'The Great Machipongo Clam Shack'. Fun times with the family!
- Dad gave Gerren the infamous paddle from Grandma Mosley. I just had to take a picture so I wouldn't forget what it looked like. This paddle was a big deal when we were kids.
- One of favorite things about visiting Virginia (besides lots of relaxing, reading, eating, and talking with my fam) was playing game each night just like the Mosleys do! I even beat Dad, Dane and Gerren at Settlers of Catan once! We also played Euchre...reminder for future reference...try NOT to be Dane's partner (he's not so good:)
- Oh! The other funny part of the trip was Gerren and I trying to disable Dane's phone! Hahaha! He's just so easy to get riled up!
- On Sunday, after church, I got a few pictures with my dear parents. I really love and appreciate these two. They sure did raise me well.
- Sunday afternoon we drove around Norfork and saw some of the shipyards. We parked and saw the USS Wisconsin. It was seriously cool. We also drove down to Virginia Beach and I put my feet in the Atlantic Ocean. A very enjoyable day!
- Monday morning Gerren and I left Carrolton and drove back up to D.C. We got into the city a little early so we could walk around and see some of the sights. I had never walked about D.C. before so I loved it!
- George Washington Memorial
- I had a great trip. I loved spending time with my mom, dad, brother, and sister. I love them so much and am so grateful they are part of my life.
- While I was gone...
- Todd took the kids to Sonny Bryans.
- And out for the first Shaved Ice of the year!
- They also had their first water balloon fight of the season:)
- Hahahaha! When Todd texted me this picture he put "nice jugs!"
