Well it has been a while it seems. Since the last post we have had a few exciting things it guess. First was Ethans 5th birthday. I cant believe that he is 5. We decided to have a party for him on July 23. It was a friday and Rob had the day off. I filled 250 or more water balloons, we had a slip-n-slide, and a sprinkler, popsicles and cupcakes and a pinata. I for some reason made it 3 hours long. I forget how short of attention span 5 year olds have. It was mostly fun although i had spent the previous night sick, up throwing up and "other things." Kaylee had been sick too. We were supposed to go the temple thursday, but kaylee got sick and so we had to cancel. I ended up sick shortly after and it lasted the weekend, and passed it on to Rob and Ethan. So fun. We are all good though. It was really hard to have a birthday party with 15 kids when you dont feel weel. We made it though. Ethan made out like

a bandit. Way too many gifts but he had fun.
this picture is of the kids with light sabers. Taylor has learned to use a Light saber and the boys were being kind and letting her "get" them. it was so cute.

For the 24th of july, Pioneer Day, our circle did a bbq. it was complete with a bounce house, good food, great neighbors, and illegal
fireworks. It was a great show. Our circle had a better show then Thanksgiving point had for the 4th. Kaylee was so exhausted by the end of the night that she fell asleep with glow stick in hand.

We painted most of our kitchen. The wall with the cabinets and stove is green, with a neutral color through out the rest of the kitchen. The kids were itching to help, so i let them paint a little. They had lots of fun. I still have to get behind the refridgerator and a few touch ups but its a start i guess. this other picture is just

the kids being silly.

Taylor found out a new trick and they were all playing together so i snapped the picture. Well i think that is it for now. Hopefully i will continue on with recent events soon.
