Summer is off to a FAST & Busy start

We have been really busy these past few weeks.



*First, we had Jenny(My Sis) and her boys stay a couple of days while her husband was out of town. Jenny had actually thrown out her back so she needed help with her kids. It was fun and we sure kept busy chasing after lots of little ones.


*Second, Swim lessons began for all three kids with Ms. Traci. She is so aWesome! Madison & Davin were in the same class and they were doing things like treading water for 1 minute, Back stroke, butterfly stroke, practice using big arms(freestyle), practicing breathing to the side and diving to the deep end. They did so good! Tate was in the same class as Blane. They were learning, kicking, big arms, back floating, going down to the deep end with Ms. Traci. Ms. Tatum(Traci's daughter) helped this year. She shows off for the kids by doing her triple flip dives. We love them. She is SUCH a great teacher.






Third, The Ross girls came to visit from Colorado and stayed with us for 4 nights. I love those girls. We made flower hair clips one night...just the girls. Each girl made like 6 of their own. We did lots of swimming @ The Lund's One night for a Barbeque @ their aWesome pool. Then we went to the Basha Pool to play for a couple of hours. One night we put up the tent out back and had HOBO dinners (foil dinners) and turned on the fire pit( in 95 degree weather) and roasted marshmellows and made s'mores. The girls slept the night in the tent and stayed up late playing cards and having fun. Madison and Jill are the of best friends. They play so good together. Jane was such a helper while she was here. She loved holding and playing with Vance too. We enJoyed having them in our home. They are such good girls. We will miss them.






Fourth, Madison got her ears pierced. She finally decided while we were at the mall to take the plunge! She was so brave and only cried for a second. She loves having earrings.






Fifth, Our rambuncious boy Blane turned three! We had one Family party @ Grandma Sharon's & another family party @ our house for Blane. He is so funny! All he REALLY cared about @ both parties was the soda. When people would ask him what he wanted for his birthday he would say this...."Red Kid soda" We love him.







Sixth, on the list ....... We were asked to speak in church on Sun. June 14th(today). Our topic was about "coming unto Christ". This was such a great theme to talk about and I sure learned a lot while preparing my talk. Funny, weird thing that happened while I was 5 minutes into my talk.... the fire alarm went off and the WHOLE church had to be evacuated. I was actually tearing up on the stand as I was reading aloud the first verse to one of my favorite church songs. "I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me, confused at the grace that so fully he profers me. I tremble to know that for me he was crucified, that for me a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died." Know one knew what to do next. The fire dept came to make sure everything was okay and to shut off the alarm. Turns out that sacrament meeting was almost over and I had to get back up there and finish as quickly as possible. Dason spoke after me and gave an heart felt talk about his own journey to change. This was pretty funny.




Finally....we will be getting ready for our week long vacation to Encinitas @ the end of the week. We can't wait!
