Pioneer day at the Aquatic center....

Aimee and I decided to take the kids to the aquatic center for the 24th holiday. Grandma Sue and Jeni came later in the afternoon. Thank goodness because watching Emma and Mason at the pool is a crazy job! We ended up staying the whole day & had a great time!

Feeding the ducks.....

Last Tuesday Emma and I rode over to the duck pond. It was so hot! We brought some bread to feed the ducks and were lucky to see a mommy and her baby ducklings! I think I was more excited than Emma! Emma was just happy to throw rocks in the pond.....After we had fed the ducks, we walked over to the park so Emma could play. The slides were all too hot, so she was happy just to run across the bridge. On the return trip, we actually saw a bunny hopping around in someones front yard! Emma thought that was pretty cool......


Top ten things I love about Bruce....


Bruce has to be away from us until next Thursday. He is super busy and under a lot of stress. I thought I would share a little top ten list of how much he means to me.....

1. He always works so hard for our family. I complain about being alone, but I know it's much worse for him. We're counting down the days until we don't have to do this anymore.

2. I love it when he is in a joking mood. He teases me, but I secretly love it!

3. When he holds me in his arms, I know everything is right with the world. I feel safe and secure and I know we can handle anything.

4. He is very driven. Whether it is working out or working for his job, success is very important to him.

5. He is the best "daddy" in the world. The kids love their dad so much!

6. I love to ride with him. He has introduced me to the great sport of mountain biking, and I love to do it with him.

7. Seven is an important number for me. Lucky number 7.........

8. Jackson, Island Park, Disneyland, Camping, and all of the great trips yet to come...

9. He makes me want to strive to be the best person I can. Whether it's supporting me in going back to school, or other hard choices I'm having to make, I know he just wants the best for me.

10. He is the most important person in my life, and I look forward to everyday we have together!


I love and miss you!!!!

The Fourth of July......

On the Fourth of July we had a BBQ. The kids enjoyed playing on the waterslide, and the adults just enjoyed visiting. We had a great dinner, then after the sun went down, FIREWORKS! Emma loved them! After every one she would say "Oh-that was a GOOD one!". We had a great time, but we missed Mason and Justine. They went to the Hooper fireworks. Justine with Chase, and Mason with Gma, gmpa and Quayden. We were also very lucky to have Bruce home for the holiday! Happy Fourth>>>>
