WHEW!

Well, I said we would pack as much in the week before school started and I think we have done a pretty good job!

Jill, one of my best friends came in to visit from Texas. It was so nice to see her and laugh (as usual) together. We enjoyed a great dinnner (without children) at Midtown and then went and walked around and window shopped. After wallowing in our misery of being so full from supper we decided to get ice cream.....what? We had so much fun and it is always sad to see her go home. The girls love "Jill Pea" (don't ask, I am not sure I can even explain) and were also very happy to see her. Here are some pics of her visit.

You have NO clue how many times we took this picture!

Today we woke up to rain rain rain. We were supposed to have a park date with friends but it was washed out. SO, my good friend Bianca, her two year old Kinlee, me and my girls went to Chucky Cheese. Kinlee, Baylee and "BAKE UH" had a great time and ran from one thing to the other the entire time. It was a nice end of the summer treat before heading back to school next week.

"Bianca the Builder! Can she build it? Yes, she can!"

"Excuse me, does anyone have the time?"

"That's a BIG mouse!"

My handsome fireman husband visited our ward tonight to teach the Cub Scouts about Fire Safety in order for them to earn a badge. He did a great job teaching the kids and the boys had a fun time playing with all the fireman "toys."

Dressing up in turn out gear was really cool for the boys to watch. They learned about each piece of equipment, how much it weighed and how it is used in a fire. They asked many great questions and shared all kinds of stories.

The week is not over yet so I leave you in great anticipation of what we will do next....until next time!
