Slip-n-slide

Our next-door neighbors gave us a slip-n-slide as a gift a couple days ago and today we tried it out for the first time.

Getting excited as Dad finishes setting it up.

P testing the temperature of the splash pool at the end.

L diving in!  A kept running up to it & then running away giggling.

Hooray for Halfway

Today is the 'halfway' day in my parents' mission.  They've been gone for 9 months and have 9 months left to go!  I want to take a second to say how proud I am of them and how thankful I am for their example and sacrifice.

Took this pic this morning to celebrate:

We love you, Grandy & Grandpa Paul!

Weekend in Utah

We had a fun (although very short) trip to Utah over the weekend.  Drove to Idaho Falls Thursday night and stayed with our wonderful friends there.  Todd got to golf with T Friday morning and then we drove to South Jordan.  We went to the aquarium with Grandma and then were joined by Kelli for dinner at Red Lobster.  Saturday Todd worked, worked, worked on his mom's house and the kids and I spent the afternoon in Orem with Jessie and her kids.  Sunday we drove home.

I did not take ANY pictures on this trip, but my sweet sister just emailed some that she took while we were swimming at her in-law's pool.  Thanks, Jess!
