His very sweet teacher--he got the agreeable attitude award from his classmates...

Just some fun/craziness...

Nautical themed baby shower I threw for a friend--I didn't take very many pics, but I thought it turned out super-cute, and the food was delish--we even had an ice cream sundae bar--perfect for summer!

We went to toysrus for the boys to spend some of their birthday money--and they gave them balloons for their birthday which E. had a blast with!

P. picked out a chain saw with his birthday money--he wanted to go outside as soon as we got home to try it out...he was truly disappointed when it wouldn't cut down our tree...

S. and I were asked to be the leaders for a company of 30 kids at a multi-stake youth conference that included around 700 youth 14-18.  We were a bit nervous--being super outgoing is a bit out of my comfort zone, and we wanted to help the kids have the best experience possible, but I can say this, we had an AWESOME weekend. I became attached to these kids I had never even met before, and I am excited to see where they end up in their life--they have great potential and great plans! It was also great to work with my husband--we had a great time and were exhausted by the end.

Getting ready to play Stomp the Balloon...

Out company won the silver in the jump rope Olympics event--it was timed and we had to get everyone in, jump one time, then out, without the jump rope touching anyone or you would have to start over again. Our group really came together and worked really hard and were encouraging of one another...

Building some kind of art with canned food that was to be donated...

The kiddos stayed with Grandma and Papa for the weekend, and they came home exhausted too--they all 3 fell asleep on the drive home at 11am!
