Long Night...

Sometimes everything converges on the same night and we have to miss things. But this night we decided to try and get to everything we had. So we first headed down to Provo to attend the 1st birthday party of one of Josh's accounts. We were able to eat dinner and dance a little bit then headed back to Riverton for the summer bbq that Rock Creek Pizza has every year. We loaded up on more food and deserts, played for a bit, then headed to the Ericson's for Grayson's birthday. What a night!

Grayson's Birthday at the Zoo

Josh was gone, but I decided last minute to take the kids up to the zoo and join the Ericson's in celebrating Grayson's birthday. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we went!

New Room!!!

We have realized that we will be in this house for another year or two until the market goes down. Which means we had to make some MAJOR changes in order to survive. Britney has been in the nook of our room for the past 16 months and we are way past done with that. But because Brielle has health problems she is not able to share a room quite yet, which has left us with no where for baby to go. We've always considered putting Brayden in the basement, but I have struggled with that bc he's so young and he doesn't want to be down there by himself. So when we though of putting all three older kids in the basement it finally was a solution that I felt like I could do. So I immediately began moving everything around. We put Brooklyn and Brynlee in the big bedroom in the basement, which was the toy room. We turned their big bedroom upstairs into Britney's bedroom/little girl's toy room. Brayden will go into the small bedroom in the basement once Javier goes back to Panama. So we will finally be able to move the baby out of my room, as well as get our den back where Brayden has been sleeping. Yay!!! I've been super excited about this change and can't wait to get it all done!

The Stump

We had a crew come and take down our dead pine tree, but we were left with the stump. Javier spent a week chopping it up and digging all around the sides, then Andrew and Steve came over and helped get it out. What a project!

Cabin Trip - Day 3

Michael and Natalie joined us on Sunday afternoon. We played, went on 4 wheeler rides, walks, and just hung out. It was SO relaxing and fun to be with cousins!

Happy 4th of July!

Because we were at the cabin all weekend we didn't really do much for the holiday. I felt bad we didn't get to see any fireworks this year, but we managed. I had some sparklers and smoke bombs so after the kids all showered they played around with those. When it got dark there were quite a few fireworks we were able to see from around the neighborhood, so we got out blankets and chairs and watched as many as we could before I finally sent the kids to bed.
