Fifteen Years

I had my 15 year anniversary working at Nu Skin on the 27th. It's such a great place to work. They treat all of the 10, 15, 20 and 25 year employees to a nice lunch and I also got a $1500 dollar bonus for 15 years.

Park

I took Zachary and Savanna to the park with the neighbor kids. These kids have lived next to us for about 4 months and my kids have loved having more friends to play with. They always ask to play with the "new neighbors".

Science Experiment

Savanna did a science experiment in her class. She did Water Glass Magic. She filled a glass almost to the top with water, put a paper over it, and turned it over. The air sucks the paper to the glass and the water stayed in. The kids thought it was super cool.

Pack Meeting

It was Zachary's first pack-meeting where his group had to do the flag ceremony. They did Minute-to-Win-It games after the awards.

"It's too bright!"

Savanna hates the lights in the morning when she wakes up. She couldn't turn the bathroom light off because Hanley was getting ready, so she did the next best thing, put a blanket over her head to go to the bathroom.

Lagoon

We went to the Nu Skin summer party. The kids always look forward to it. My cousin Laurie and her girls came with us. Paul was working on a remodel in Taylorsville so we had to stop and pick him up on our way. We had lots of fun and the kids are already talking about the rides for next year.

Drywaller

Paul did drywall this summer during the school break. He hadn't done it regularly for a few years. I think he liked getting back into it. Now that school has started again, he's doing the bus driving and drywall. We stopped to pick him up at a job in Salt Lake on our way to Lagoon. This is the first time I've seen him on stilts in years. I love watching him do drywall. He makes it look so easy and effortless.

Kids...

When Savanna goes to bed we have to kiss her 5 times for I. love. you. so. much. Or if we're holding hands we squeeze hands 3 times for I. love. you. or 5 times for I. love. you. so. much.

Savanna started to tell me a story "My friend Sara... uh, well, she's not my friend anymore!! cause she's a JERK!!", then continued with the story.

On the way out of the house, Savanna said "uh, mom, you forgot to do my hair. It's a hot mess." Then after a few seconds she said "what is a hot mess?" She's heard that saying, but wasn't quite sure what it meant.

Me: "I'm going to run into the store real quick."
Zachary: "Uh, mom, you DO NOT know how to run."

Hanley went to girls camp from July 7-12. When she got home we went to pick her up and she was so onery. On the way home I said "well we missed you." She said "Well you are the one that made me go!! Why did you even make me go if you were just going to miss me?!!" She was NOT happy.

Happenings

Paige and Brynlie came over on Saturday and I took all the kids to the park.

When Savanna was in the tub, Bugar came upstairs and jumped right in with her.
We had to drain the water and get fresh before she could get washed.

Long weekend

I took Friday off work and did a few chores around the house. Friday evening we took the kids to the carnival at the Payson Onion Days celebration. Saturday morning the kids stayed home and I went with Paul to do some drywall at my friends house. Well, he did drywall and I sat and watched. We had tickets from the carnival the night before so we took the kids back to use them up. Then we let them take a ride in a monster truck. Sunday we packed up the motorhome and went camping for a night. It was nice to have a couple extra days off.
