1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
EVERYBODY PLAY! I want to see what memories you have!!(especially since mine is failing me)
And those of you that read my blog and never comment, I see you and you better say something!
Yes, I know I have seriously slacked in my blogging abilities lately so here is a little run down. We will be tearing off our roof this weekend and planning that has been nothing short of a miracle. Going to reroof, insulate, redo attic fan, rebrace roof, put in skylights in the kitchen....in the meantime we have spring cleaned the whole house, had a yard sale, rearranged all of downstairs, finished fencing the back yard, put privacy fence in the kennel, put the roof on the kennel, helped my mom with her remodeling, and tried to fit in some fun days with the kids in between my gym. Take a breath, yes I know but really there is no time to breathe. Next weekend is St George, the week after is Payton's birthday, the week after is John Edwards (no not the politician), and the week after both kids start school. So you see no time for blogging. Not to mention I am 10 weeks out from my next competition. No stress in our lives. Please love me and understand my lack of communication.
So every year we go to Boise to see my cousins. This year they had lots of plans for us which was nice. No thinking on my part and lots of fun. Uncle Dan took us fishing at the Dam near Idaho City. It was a hot day but the kids had tons of fun catching lots of fish, and I got some much needed sun.
We spent the morning at Shane and Stephanie's letting the kids play indoors with the girls but Brody needed a little boy time. So, we headed over to Brooke and Jamie's house where they have their own water park out back. The kids were in heaven cooling off on this super cool slide. Now I just have to talk Curtis into getting one of these so we have somewhere clean to swim. But somehow I don't think it will last long with our horses/dogs. They would love it to pieces, literally.
The real reason we came up was to see baby Robert Daniel be blessed. My cousin Nanette finally had a boy. It's about time. Not even a couple of months old and they are already buying him a lifetime hunting and fishing license. I have a feeling this little one will be spoiled. Payton couldn't stay away. She wanted to play dress up and rock him herself, too bad he is almost as big as she is.
Brody and Payton couldn't get enough of the pool. It was a nightly ritual to cool off. The kids are so proud of themselves that they swim in the deep end all alone. It makes me want to cry, they are growing up way too fast. Brody loved jumping into the deep end without having someone catch him, and of course in Spiderman gear. They decided that it was much more fun jumping over Adam's head...don't worry, there were only a couple of kicks to the head.
Of course Payton had to jump in the deep end too. She couldn't quite jump as high, but Adam's arm was perfect height. She couldn't stand getting her face wet at first, but she wasn't going to let Brody have all the fun. Thanks Aunt Cheryl for letting us invade your home. Sorry about Adam's Bird (Payton wanted to play with the bird, thought Adam's shoe would be a good home, then decided it wasn't. Needless to say she literally squeezed the poop out of it, pulled its tail feathers out trying to get it out of the shoe and then took a nap with it.) We hope it can survive the trauma of its chance meeting with our little shedevil.
