summer is going , going....

We just left Utah but it was fun to spend three days with Biff's parents. They rode out with Skip and Bonnie as they moved to Illinois. It was a fun few days. On Monday we went to the Colts Training Camp which is just 10 minutes from our house. We saw Peyton Manning which was a highlight. But the kids loved playing on the stuff and eating blue snowcones (why are they blue anyway?)

We had great weather and even rain. They got a real midwestern weather experience (different weather every 10 minutes.) Grandma and the boys built the temple in Zarahemla in our sand box.

We hit the road to Indy and saw Page and Tayler on Tuesday. It was fun to spend the time swimming and eating pizza. We liked it so much we went back to Indy on Wednesday (took them to the airport)and Thursday (took Bailee to spend the weekend with Page and Tayler. Thanks to Tayler for the cute bracelets she made. We did some school shopping and came home.

On Friday, we hit Walmart for the school supply run. The total was about $100.00 and Braden said, "Wow! Mom how much money do you have left?" I gave him a random amount and said, "Seven hundred dollars." Since then he has kept a running total of how much money I have left if we spend any money. Of course he has some ideas on how we should spend our $700.00. He votes for video games!!

On saturday we spent the HOT day in the pool (thank you Threlfall's) then played a mean game of volleyball followed by watching the movie Forever Strong (a must see) in our backyard (again thanks to Jeriah's projector.) What a great day!! However Sunday morning came too soon.
