Time

Where has the time gone? We are already half way thru summer and it seems I haven't been able to get as much accomplished as I have wanted. We have been boating a few times this summer. With our last trip out to the lake on Saturday. It was a beautiful day, the kids were happy and everything just seemed to click. Talli wakeboarded with Chad for her first time and she loved it, she couldnot get enough of it. Then all the kids rode the tube together without parents, which is also a first. We bought season passes to Lagoon and have went 3 or 4 times. The kiddo's have loved it and can't get enough of it. It is great to be able to go and enjoy with our UT friends. Isaah did scout camp at the beginning of the summer, which is fun for him. The twins did swimming lessons while Isaah and Madi did diving lessons. It is a rare day when we don't have friends over swimming in the pool.

We spent time up in Idaho for the 4th of July. We enjoyed cool weather while we watched the fire works, think chilly actually around 58 degrees outside. The kids were able to spend time with the cousins and I got to help take care of my cute new twin nephews and my little niece. The kittens found new homes and my poor little girls shed tears over not being able to keep one. (Which I knew would happen). Chad was able to get the final inspection done on the shop. The outside is now has stucco on it, doors, windows and the staircase is finished. The inside is all wired and down stairs has aircondiitioning. The shop is at a stand still right now with the 113 degree weather, it's hard to get motivated to work out in that heat.

I was even able to finish a good book so far this summer "These is my Words". A good summer read. Isaah is working on the Percy Jackson series and Madi is reading just about anything, the Twins are working on sight words so they can start learning to read. We still have fun stuff planned for the rest of the summer, though I think it is going to fly by even faster than the 1st half has.
