Okay, we really LOVE Saturdays!

I took the girls to Elk Grove for the Western Days Celebration. We saw clowns, ate apples off of a string, participated in a pie eating contest,played with bubbles, made crafts, Addie rode a roller coaster, and best of all we got to play with the cousins all at the same time!

While we were gone Tevan and his friends got together paint balled out on the property. They had a blast. He also were able to ride some quads!

Later this afternoon we went to our friends to celebrate a birthday and Tevan took the girls out on a Yamaha Rapter. They had a blast!

A peek into our Week

This week we were busy on some of the days and lazy on the others. On Monday, Addie went to her school and took some test to see if she was ready for Kindergarten. She passed and got a bag with scissors, a pencil, and color crayons.

Oh a definate highlight was when we learned that a sister of Tevan and her family are moving to CA. Addie and a 7 year old cousin love to play. Now Brooke will have another girl cousin to play with that is her age. We are very excited about that!

On Thursday, we went to my Grandma Jeans house and made her yummy and delicious Persimmon cookies. I've been making them since I was little and it was a lot of fun to see the girls participate in things that I was so fond of as a child. That day we went to the park and had a pic nick and the girls played while my Grandma and I talked for a few hours. We really enjoyed our time with her. Later that day, the girls and I went to my moms house again! The girls played while my mom and I went to her enrichment activity.

On Friday, Tevan and I went to a surprise party for his sister. That was a blast.

On Saturday, we went over to a friends house and went swimming for the first time. It was a little chilly in the pool but the girls loved it. They played in the sand box with their cousins and played with the dogs. Then to top off the evening we had roasted marshmallows at the camp fire. It was a blast.

Today, I got to be a substitute in the nursery and Tevan got to give the Elders Quorum lesson. Luckily my job was a lot easier than his. I hear he did an excellent job. As an added bonus he let all of the Elders out early and they came and picked up their kids early out of nursery. Tevan received extra bonus points for that.

Fun in the Sun

Today was our first day over 80 degrees. While Tevan, his dad, and our brother in-law poured concrete for a walk way, the girls got a brilliant idea to get their swimsuits on and have fun in the hose and help me wash the car. Afterwards, I gave the girls a shower to wash off all of the mud. I decided to give Brooke a martian hairstyle. Don't worry about the spot on her face, it is just a little mud. This is her thinking face. Okay, I am easily amused!
