Sweet Reward

Cold Stone had a sweet reading incentive. Ice Cream!! I mean really, can it get better than that?  I picked up a bookmark for each of the kids at the beginning of summer. They had to read 5 books. Only 5!! The younger kids have read way more than that but it took the older …

Slip-N-Slide

A slip-n-slide is another way we stay cool around here. Our neighbor across the street gave it to Ammon one Saturday at the beginning of summer when he was having a yard sale. Apparently Ammon told our neighbor that his Mom never buys fun things like slip-n-slides! He took pity on Ammon and gave it …

Cute Little Ari Girl!

Ariana has been cracking me lately! I decided I needed to write some down so I will remember. Adam, Ariana and I were driving in the car, just the three of us. Adam and I were talking about the kids and what they did and didn't do at similar ages. Ariana sticks her head to …

Bubbles?!

"Can I play in the water?" this is a question I hear daily, multiple times if I don't say yes the first time. Monday I told Britain yes when she asked and off she ran to recruit all the other kids. There were lots of yes's and dooring slamming. It quieted down once everyone was …
