Last Day of School!

We are officially out of school! Yea! It really is only for two
weeks then they will start a new grade. Jenna will be in
3rd grade and Mindy in 2nd grade. We had to celebrate!
We got together with friends to do that!



What Joy there is in the life of a 3 year old!



Jenna and Aliza wanted their barbies to go
swimming and of course they had to be modest.
So they got some socks for their swimming suits and
hair things to hold the socks!


This is Mindy's good friend from school Bradan
Braithwaite.


I can't believe I'm posting this picture! Really the focus
is the babies anyway not the moms. All of these babies
were born in the same year! Aren't they cute?

Cloud Watching!

Do you remember watching clouds when you were a kid?
The clouds would become dragons, houses, grapes, whatever
your imagination came up with. On Saturday we had a picnic
in the park and then layed down and watched clouds.
We had a great time!

We thought this one was an airplane. Can you see it?




Tell us what you think this is.

How my Summer Days Go By!

Do We have a Poet in the Family?

Jenna did a Poetry Reading in her 2nd grade class. All of her class did a great job! Here are a few of Jenna's poems.

Coconut Tree

Make some Coconuts for you and me.

make some coconuts for you and me.
The flowers look beautiful on you!
You are my favorite coconut tree!

Great Paka

Oh I miss you great paka
the day you died.
Oh please come back!
Oh please come back!
We sang songs,
read books,
and laughed.
I miss you!

Pioneer Days!

We had a great time this year at our Stake's Pioneer Day's celebration. It was overcast which helped beat the heat. On friday we ate dinner, learned how to make butter, tasted all different kinds of homemade bread, and waited for a homemade donut. Yum! We also saw Kim and Dan. Kim is Rick's Sister JoAnn's best friend. On Saturday we played games, got wet, ate good food, listened to the loudest fireworks ever! Mindy also performed her hula hoop routine. She did a great job!
