Day 201, 7/20/09

I know it’s kind of late in the month, but I thought I’d share what I took to my ladies for Visiting Teaching. They were super easy and loved by all. I loved the message and wanted to emphasize how refreshing it is to go to the temple, (hence the refreshing drink, ya can’t go wrong with lemonade). When we go to the temple we Revitalize, Refresh, Renew, Restore and Replenish.

Day 200, 7/19/09

One of {B}'s favorite things to do is have a nice big bubble bath on Sunday afternoons. She would bathe all day if I let her.

Day 199, 7/18/09

I am a huge Biggest Loser fan and I have heard lots of people go on and on about this video. So I went to target and bought it tonight. I LOVE to workout and I thought this would go great with my marathon training since it is just way too hot to run outside these days. So come Monday morning I'll be adding this new workout, wish me luck!

Day 198, 7/17/09

{B} is going through a really big dancing phase. She LOVES to dance all the time. She LOVEs to dance with daddy but when he's not around her brothers do a great job too! I get a kick out of watching them dance.

Day 197, 7/16/09

I was so excited when {R} told me a couple weeks ago that he bought tickets to Wicked. I have heard so much about it and he knew I was dying to go. It was soooo good and did not disappoint. We both laughed so much and just had so much fun being together and doing something different. We also went to dinner and had lots of fun just talking. I love you hun! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

of bouncing fun!

We all had a Blast

Even sweet little {B} in her darling little Braids could not get enough

Both Boys said this was there favorite letter so far. :)

Day 195, 7/14/09 Daddys Princess

Sweet little {B} LOVEs the movie Enchanted and would watch it 24/7 if we'd let her. She calls the princess "princey" and her eyes light up when they start dancing.

Then she finds her dad, and says "I dance, daddy turn" meaning she wants to dance with daddy.

They do and again her little eyes light up and she is smitten with her cute cute dad!

It does my heart good every time I see them dance together.

Day 194, 7/13/09

Then we made cardboard box Trucks

the kids rode their Trucks to our own Taco Bell which was located at the kitchen counter

Yum, yum!!!

Day 193, 7/12/09

Yesterday was our ward party. I am the activities leader so I was in charge. We rented the Brimhall Pool and had a great turn out. I just love this picutre of {B} swimming with her daddy. They sure have fun together.

{K} with one of his church buddies.

Day 192, 7/11/09 Fun with Friends

We went to a birthday party of one of our cute little friends who moved in just down the street.

It was a lot of fun and we all had a blast!

Day 191, 7/10/09

Alphabet Summer Letter A

Today the kids decorated their letter A's in to an Alligator

then we headed to an Arcade to play games.

We went from youngest to oldest and everybody got a couple of turns picking what games to play.

{J} won a huge pink soft boxing glove in the big claw game and was pretty excited about it {even if it was pink}

We had a lot of fun

Our book today was "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"

Day 190, 07/09/09

Alphabet Summer Letter M

Today we learned about the letter M. {B} is so funny, every day when I "reveal" what the letter for the day is I show it to her and ask her what it is. With out fail she excitedly says in the cutest voice ever "B". By the end of the day she has been really good and remember the letter we worked on though so that makes me happy

For our activity we went and saw a movie at the discount theater and watched Monsters VS. Aliens. The boys have seen it but {R}, {B} and I have not. It was cute.

Day 189, 07/08/09

Alphabet Summer Letter Q

The kids used Q-tips as paint brushes and decorated their letter Q's

Then we made Q-tip flowers

For our treat we headed to QT for a yummy drink

the kids think it is the greatest thing ever to get to make up their own drinks. Here little {J} is telling all about the different flavors in his drink.

Day 188, 07-07-09

Alphabet Summer Letter P

I set out a bunch of scrap paper and let the kids use my scrapbooking paper punch to make Polka-dots to put on their P's

They turned out pretty cute, here's the final product

After decorating our P's we went to the Public library to watch a Puppet show.

It was a really cute show and all the kids seemed to like it

When we got home I gave everybody some popsicle craft sticks

We each drew a picture on the sticks turning it into a puzzle. It was harder to draw on them than I thought it would be, but they did good.

Some how when I wasn't looking my sweet hubby made one too. This is what I found

here it is all put together. Ahhh....he's so sweet!

After putting each others puzzles together we had Peanut butter and jelly Pig Puzzle sandwhiches, with Pineapple and Pretzels.

Our story for the day was "If You Give A Pig A Pancake". I love her books, they are funny.
