Party Weekend

We had a busy weekend. Friday Abby had a birthday party. We ended up having crazy weather that night. Black clouds rolled in and just dumped rain like crazy. Trent was at scout camp and they had tornado warnings and had to seek shelter. We had to move the party to the basement. Here they are playing American Idol (looks like Abby's sisters took over as the judges)

She wanted ice cream sundaes instead of cake, so we stuck the candles in the ice cream.

Saturday was Abby's actual birthday. I can't believe she's actually 10. She's growing up quickly and we're so happy to have her in our family. We finished up the soccer season on Saturday, Brynn had a team party. Then Sunday was Father's Day. Trent was able to eat salmon (I'm not a fish lover, Trent is, so he gets to eat fish on his birthday and Father's day) Monday was Shea's birthday. She is now offically 2! She is so fun to have around and can always make us laugh! She is talking all the time now. Sometimes when we don't want her to..Like when she's supposed to go to sleep at night or like this Sunday during Sacrament Meeting when she kept saying "HEY" super loud when any one else tried to use a crayon. Apparently she is the only one who can use crayons.

Grandma, she loves the shopping cart you gave her...thanks so much!

Summertime

Summer has finally arrived. With it comes...cute shirts
playing in your swimming suits all day long

and most importantly ice cream from the ice cream truck!

The Answer

Thanks to all who guessed what I spent. Given your answers you must think I am some shopping genius...I hope I don't disappoint you when I say I spent $17.74 on my items.

Jackpot!

I love finding deals on groceries. Every week I look forward to getting the grocery ads for the coming week and I plan on what great buys I am getting at each store. I love it! Today, I came out of the grocery store feeling like I was stealing I got such a great deal. What do you think I bought all of the above for? (I also bought 2 32 oz yogurts, not included in the picture)

Here is what I bought: 3 apple juice 15 boxes of pasta 2 cake mixes 2 32 oz yogurt an 8 pack of paper towel 1 box granola bars 1 can of frosting and 1 bottle of sprinkles.

Let me know your guess. I'll let you know what I paid soon!

Saturday Shirt

This is Trent's Saturday shirt. If you don't know what a Saturday shirt is, let me explain...Trent wears this shirt every Saturday. He does all his projects in this shirt, gardening, house repairs, playing with the kids, etc. As you can see he needs a new Saturday shirt. My parents got this one for him when they were in Hawaii. They are going back this summer, if I'm lucky they'll get him another one.

Lilly

I am so lucky, every morning I get to wake up and see this cute face!

Last week we had her 2 month check up, she now weighs in at 10 lbs 8 oz.

I don't know if it's that time passes so quickly, or I just don't have enough time in the day to get everything done that I want, but I'm getting a chance to post.... Lilly is now 8 weeks old. She has her 2 month check up this coming week. Leah loves having a brown eyed sister. Lilly will now smile at you and she loves talking to people.

Leah had preschool graduation this week. She went to preschool at the high school. So the high school students interacted with the preschoolers. Leah had a great time and she really blossomed. I find that she talks more freely to people. Her teachers said she follows directions really well and she participates in the class. However at her graduation ceremony, they had songs that they sang, Leah just sat in her chair...there was no singing or hand motions. I asked her later why she didn't sing. She responded "I was afraid."

Shea keeps everyone on their toes. This week I got to clean nail polish out of the carpets. Markers off the walls. There is still pencil colored on the blinds in my office. I also was able to clean eggs off my kitchen floor because she had fun cracking them while I was in the bathroom. I know you are asking yourselves how does she get these things? This is the child that will find anything that she shouldn't have and use it. The nail polish was in her sister's room. She drags chairs, stools, whatever to get to things, especially candy. While the swing is meant for the baby, I find it much more helpful to keep Shea contained.

Earlier this month our neighbors gave us their trampoline. It has been so great. The girls love it! Abby and Brynn have 8 more days of school. Then we get to see how crazy summer is going to be.
