HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Here are the kiddos with their Daddy. Jared was a little irritated I wouldn't let him make eggs for Matt that morning, but Matt is not really a breakfast eater. We gave Matt some shirts, a DS game and a Dodger blanket. Best of all, he was able to take a Sunday nap! What could be better? We went to the Locken's for dinner and I had a chance to celebrate MY Dad! I am grateful for such a great Dad who is supportive of all our crazy activities and helps me with home repair problems - and sometimes the kids math problems!! What would we do without our Dads??

Watch Out San Salvador...

My cute nephew Todd received his mission call last Saturday to the El Salvador, San Salvador mission. It was fun to be there for the ceremonial "opening of the envelope" along with 100's of other close friends. Jared will miss his guitar lessons with his cousin, but he is really proud of him for serving a mission. Yea for Todd!! We are all proud of you.

AR Stars

Kendall was one of the top three readers for accelerated reading in her class. The top three readers from each class were able to go to the park today for a couple of hours. They ate lunch, played at the park and fed the ducks. Kendall, being a shy girl, was worried about not having a girl from her class to play with, but found out that the two boys that went from her class were a lot of fun.

The Circus Is In Town

This is what we have been up to this week. We were being crowded out by all our termite roommates. Another plus is that we temporarily got rid of our garage crickets, but I have a feeling they love us too much to stay away too long! We stayed at my parents house Monday and Tuesday and we had so much fun! The kids mostly played Wii, but did some of their other usual activities they have to do when they visit Grandpa and Grandma. We were spoiled with the wonderful food and great hospitality. I would love to stay at their "hotel" again. We were able to return Tuesday night, but the gas was turned off until Wednesday afternoon, so no hot water until then. Unbagging the food went way quicker than I thought and now we are all settled back in.
