Another Big Catch Up

Well it's time to post another long catch up.This is what we have been doing for the last week and a half.

Two weekends ago we spent some fun playing in the water.

Bathing Daisy after she got sprayed by that darn skunk. We think we got that darn skunk, but now another one that smells worse is lingering around. In case you are wondering we are using a mix of dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda. We found a recipe online that works pretty good. She still slept in the garage for a few days.

We spent some time at the carousel and got snow cones.

The day before school was suppose to start we cut our braids out, went to see How To Train Your Dragon, had ice cream, and found out we got another week of summer. Since the pipes at the school broke and the computers crashed, they decided to give the kids another week, yay!

We also spent some time with George and James. George just got back from London and brought us some neat stuff.

He also brought me sand for my jar. Harriet's sister Bethen sent some cute outfits back for the girls. I don't know why I didn't get a pic of Kami. Her and Kaite both got Peppa Pig shirts, they look so cute.

We also hung out at the block party my family hosted. Kami found these boots in her shoe pile and now wants to wear them all the time.

Saturday we made a quick trip down to Utah for Sydney's 13th birthday party.

Cole and Kami had tons of fun.

Taylor "caked" Sydney

And Sean "caked" Ashley

Gene had to show us his bike.

And here is the hat we got Sydney. Kami loved it.

It was a good trip, long but good. We had a good visit and Taylor showed me pics of all the dresses for the wedding, the cake, bouquet, and the flower girls dresses. Kaite gets to be a flower girl and she is so excited! Ash will do the book and presents. Kami is going to try not to destroy anything!

Sunday after church I found this! Can I ask "why!" it was completely stuck on her head, funniest thing though!

Then Monday the girls finally started school!

Kaite was so excited to go, I don't think she hardly slept the night before. Sporting her new shorter haircut. Erin came back from Florida and was able to squeeze us in before school started. She was so excited she just walked right into the room and sat down, completely ignoring Mrs. Goebel saying hi to her. She rode the bus home and had a great day.

All of Ash's friends are in her class, I feel sorry for her teacher! She is loving 2nd grade so far. Ash also got some exciting news a couple of weeks ago, she is moving up to pre-team in gymnastics! This means that in Jan and Feb she will get the chance to compete at a couple of meets. She will be training harder, longer, and learning more routines. Way to go Ashley!
I think that wraps up the last week and a half. We did also take baptism pics (separate post later), went to Island Park a few times, and attempted to go boating. Two Saturdays ago we finally got the boat on the water only to have it overheat and start fire. It is now back in the shop and should be done this week so we can attempt to go again this weekend. Also, Kaite had her two cavities filled yesterday with no shots just gas. Kaite was so brave and held perfectly still. Two cavities in 20 minutes, I love our dentist! That was a long post and I still have baptism pics to post later.
