Summer is over...

Its hard to believe that I have gone this long with out updating my blog but I guess I will just wrap up in one how our summer was! Summer was good, and as always, not long enough. We had many great days in the sun playing, going to lunch, and of course, going swimming. Its been great getting to know all my friends out here in Roosevelt and the chance to do some fun things together. Well in August we went to Starvation reservoir with Steve's family for a week for a little boating trip. It was kind of crazy. I think it rained just as much as it didn't rain... but that is all part of camping right? We had plenty of chances to wake board, ride jet ski's and our new wave runners we bought. We did a little cliff jumping and swimming. Thanks to mom and dad we had amazing food. Everyone pitched in and we had some pretty dang good stuff. The kids had lots of fun activities to do at camp such as decorating visors, hitting a fish pinata, and decorating bags to hold their candy. For those who have never been to Starvation reservoir I say go. It is beautiful there. I believe that is the only good thing in Duchesne county...... Aside from that trip we didn't really do much outside of our little town. We did visit family here and there and we did boating as often as we could here at home. We did take the boat once up to Provo and I think that everyone enjoyed a little play time there. We took it with us when we watched Steve's siblings while his parents went a cruise for a few days. It was awesome for them to get a break and that we had the chance to help out. At the end of August Destinee started school. My little girl is growing up and starting 1st grade. She loves her teacher and enjoys going to school. As like any kid she just doesn't want to do homework and wants to play. So we are getting the hang of the school thing all over again. Steve has been in Colorado working on a hole out there and has been there for quite some time. It is not easy to have that man gone for 4 weeks straight. You learn to figure things out all on your own. You rely more on the Lords help in getting through those weeks with 3 little naughty girls.

Peyton is doing a little bit of preschool and is surprising me with how much she knows. Kids are so unpredictable and just when you think they are learning nothing, they show you what's up. She is hilarious. If there is one thing about Peyton, it is that she is hilarious. She makes the best comments and never has a dull moment. She is totally potty trained and has been for a little while now. That is one of the greatest joys when you have one more kid out of diapers!!!

Oakley is busy as ever. It is just that age where they want to destroy everything and make you happier than ever to see them growing. She is still not walking but she knows how. She reminds me alot of Peyton and she will walk I guess when she is good and ready. She has learned to wave, say hi and lots of other cute things.

Also Peyton turned 3 at the end of August and Oakley also turned 1. So I have a set of pictures to share from the birthday party we had for the girls. It turned out to be so much fun and it was a blast to have family come out our way. The girls got spoiled to death. Thanks to everyone for making it a special day for all of us....
