summer fun #1

So I have been so busy lately. Im not sure with what, but it seems like I go non stop. My last day at work is Friday(tomorrow) So my life should slow down. I have lots to post so I wont get it all in this blog, but I will get it all done in time.

Lets start with the 4th of July. For the 4th we went to my moms and had a bbq. They were out on the lake so we had the house and pool to ourselves. It was a lot of fun. Brian doesnt usually like to swim and he got in a played with the kids and I. Then we did our usual fire works(they r not legal but in the heights no one really cares). It was Karas first 4th. The fireworks seemed to amuse her.

Ok I think we will do Loras wedding next. Brians sister Lora got married in July. All of the boys were in the wedding. They did such a good job. We had a lot of fun. We got to see Brians aunt and cousin that we NEVER get to see. We just love Aunt Monica to pieces. I think it was a wonderful trip. The boys walked down the aise with these girls that Lora Watches and now they say they are going to mary those girls when they get older. They r so funny.

Summer fun!

We have had a very busy and fun last 2 weeks! Well actually it was 2 weeks ago. Last week we didnt do much. We went out on the boat with one of Brian's best friends since preschool(Evan), his daughter(Kylie) and his friend from Cali(Nicole). It was a lot of fun. Joseph and Daddy and I did something pretty fun! We jumped off a cliff. I am a pretty big baby so I didnt really jump cause I started to chicken out, but dont worry Evan pushed me so I did it anyways! I got a good picture of Joseph and Daddy, but I couldnt take a picture of myself so you cant see me!

We also took Kasen bowling for his first time. All the schools and daycares out here got cards for one free game of bowling every single day this whole summer. Jacob and Kasen are not in daycare but they gave them one at the bowling alley anyways. We went with some good friends of ours(the Haydens). It was a lot of fun, but I sucked even with the bumpers. Joseph is amazing at bowling!

I was trying to take some pictures I am planning for a future blog(It is a long process). Well Joseph decided to be a model and had me take pictues of him posing in different poses. He is such a ham. He just loves the camera!!

Last but not least my mother and I took Jacob and Kasen for their first dentist appointments. We took Joseph too, but it was not his first. When we got there we found out everybody was going to have a first that day though. Joseph had his first cavity. They filled it right then and there. He was not too happy. Kasen and Jacob did real good though. Kasen amazed the dentist and hygenist at how well he was. He just sat there and did everything the asked. Jacob did real well also. Jacob and Kasen were cavity free and their teeth looked good. The dentist showed me Jacobs x-rays and they were amazing!! You could see his adult teeth just starting to come in at the jaw line. The dentist said they would probably come in around 6 years old. He said Josephs teeth were at the age of a 7 year olds teeth and that made Joseph happy!! So we have had a fun time.

Update on our week!!

Our Life!!





Since Brian and I have been working all the time we no longer have time to spend as a family, but Sundays. We are usually to tired to do anything so we just rest. We(I) decided that it is not fair to the kids so this past Sunday we had a family night. Our friends gave us a architecture balloon kit. It is like making balloon animals only you make balloon architect. So we had the missionaries over for dinner. My mom was suppose to be here but was unable to make it. Then when they left my mom finally showed up and we had our baloon time. It was intresting to do. Of course the kids watched and I made them balloon sabres and the adults made the space needle, but the kids loved it. It was mostly Brian who made it, but I like to take credit and give my mom credit. It was fun.
Kara is getting to the point where she just wants to go and play with her brothers. She tries so hard to go, but she is not very successful. She is almost sitting up. She sits as long as she is looking stright forward. As soon as her head turns she falls. She only sits for about 2 seconds, but she is learning. She can not get to sitting with out being put there though. She is growing so fast it is sad. Kasen likes to put on make up and nail polish now. It is great fun. There is not much new witht he 2 older boys. Joseph is amazingly helpful and Jacob just over loves his sister.
Yeasterday I was going to have my friend bleach my hair for me. I bought the dye and my mom said "I can do it for you" That was a lie. She totally messed it up It was blonde, orange, and some places she didnt even get bleaching stuff stayed brown. So needless to say it is brown again. It is however a lighter brown.

Kara trying to get going like her brothers. She buries her head in the ground as much as she can.

You can kind of see her belly and boobies off the ground here as she is trying to go.

Then she lifts her head up to watch what they are doing. See how strong she is getting.

Here she is sitting the best she can. She is hunched over leaning on her hands, but it is a start. She did that for the first time today when I was trying to change her clothes. It was exciting. I couldnt get her to sit down. she was trying to stand as I was trying to get her to a sitting position. I let go of her for a second(just cause I like to do that every now and then to see what she does) and she just sat there. She usually falls back and she didnt. I was shocked then excited then sad that she is growing so fast.

Here I am ready for work. I jsut thought you should see me in my work outfit. You cant see my black pants though.

Me and my boys during our family time on sunday.

my mom and all the kids joseph is in the black even though you cant tell it is him.

Joseph, my mom and Kara.

Brian and his precious work of art(the space needle)

The kids and the space needle

As soon as we(and by we I mean Brian) finised the space needle.

Here is my hair with most of the mess up hidden. You can still see a little brown throught he blonde and you can see some of the orange.

Here you can see all 3 colors very nicely. I totally recomend that you have my mom do your hair........ for halloween!!

This is a terrible picture of my, but it shows my new color. It is a light brown. Much better than multi color.
