Catch Up

Last week flew by. I need to catch up on all of the activities. Paige has been asking me all summer if she could get her ears pierced. I kept telling her to ask her dad. Matt said he didn't care, so we decided to let her get them pierced. She said it didn't hurt that bad and she is super excited to have them pierced. She is ready to chane her earrings already, but she still has 5 more weeks to wait.

Paige had swimming lessons every day last week. My mom also had my sisters kids all week, so Sierra (my niece) took swimming lessons with her. We started out the week and she was very dependant on the teacher, but by the end of the week, she was swimming on her own. She still needs a lot of practice, but she is definately improving.

I took the kids to the Nature Park last week. We went to feed the ducks, but it didn't go to well. By the time I got the boys into the wagon and gave the girls a piece of bread for the ducks, a mad duck came toward us and was opening his wings and craning his neck up and making an awful noise. I don't know what we did to attract the duck, but he came right over and grabbed onto Kayla's side. She screamed and dropped her bread and ran towards me. I have never seen her so terrified in her whole life. The poor thing. After that both the girls were tramatized and wanted nothing to do with the ducks. So we loaded the boys up and went over to the toys to play instead.

Paige took Brock down the slide. He thought that was really fun.

Aiden was being extremely funny this night. I loved this picture of him.

Kayla had a really fun birthday. She got some fun presents and the afternoon of her big day we headed down to Utah. That night we went to my nephew Josh's birthday party at Backyard Adventures in Draper. They had a big bounce house and lots of toys to play on. They had so much fun.

Kayla got alot of Pet Shops, Little Ponies and Polly Pockets (the 3 p's) for her birthday. She was in heaven.

Saturday we headed down to Nephi to Matt's mom's Winn Family Reunion. It was a cooler day, but that made it quite nice to be outside all day. The boys were quite the attraction and they did good for being stuck in stroller all day. The girls were able to go on a 4-wheeler ride with their cousins and my sister-in-law Marci. We had a fun time visiting and seeing everyone.

Most of the older grandkids with my sister-in-law Marci.

Aiden, Kayla and Collin crashed on the way home from the reunion. They were so tired.

Now the countdown is on until school starts. Paige is ready to go back today. She can hardly wait. We have all of her new school clothes and we go register her this week. I can hardly believe she will be in 2nd grade.
