    Cleaning Day

    Today was a cleaning Day – Inspired by this very powerful but very ginormous microwave…

    having nevr owned a microwave we bought the biggest and most powerful thing we could find... no one told us that we'd rather have counter space than this beast.

    After lunch I ended up putting Cali in the sink to play so that I could get more cleaning done. She loves the water. Pretty soon Packer figured out where Cali was and he had to get in too. They were super Cute Playing in there.

    I got a lot of cleaning done and am loving the new microwave and my new counter space. After most projects around here we always ask the same question… Why didn’t we do this sooner?

    And I even had time to make Cookies!

    Benji spent some time on the computer today. After a while he called me to come look at the drawings that he had made for me. The first was a coloring of a flower and then he started drawing something – I asked if it was a Dinosaur, he said that it was a HydraWalrus and that it was stronger than anything even bigger than dinosaurs and stronger than any of us even!!

    MLS ALLSTAR GAME

    1 Comment

    Last Night we got to go to watch my boy Landon at the new Rio Tinto Stadium. Soccer is pretty fun to watch and now that I’m getting to know a few of the players it’s even more fun. Both of the US Team goalies were playing – Keller played for MLS Allstars team and Howard played for his team – Everton FC -(I guess that’s an English League?) I had fun. It was a sold out game. Bens siblings and spouces all came and a few rowdy friends. And I tried Five Guys and Fries before the game and I really liked the Burger – very tastey.

    Monday Night

    No Comments

    On Monday Night we actually had some time and energy so we had family home evening and then Dad set up his tent to make sure that it was good to go for Scout Camp next week and they got to sleep in it!! Cali did not want to miss out on the fun – she screamed more than usual in her bed not wanting to be up in her room. I ended up falling asleep in there too to help the boys fall asleep. They made it through the night though and it brought hours more entertainment the next morning.
