Uncle Aidan Comes to Visit

For Aidan's birthday we went to the movies, and after he came over for a visit. The kids were so attached to him! They couldn't stop laughing! Aidan is definitely a kid magnet- my kids think he is hilarious and has the best stories, they are still talking about them! We hadn't seen Aidan in ages- so it so fun to visit and catch up!

Chambray started a daring contest with her Uncle and began trying gross combinations of food- which a few they actually liked! It started with vanilla icecream and mustard, then strawberries, then pickle relish, then when they added a full beef bullion cube- they both about died! As they rose their forks to each bite, they toasted and gave the "Volcan StarTrek sign"!

BYU Sports Camp was from the 4th to the 8th of August. This year Marissa was able to go. Everyday of camp they do a different sport, some days they do 2 sports....(soccer, football, tennis, gymnastics, softball, basketball)... What a fun girls trip! Some of my girlfriends have girls the same age as mine, so we all drove up to Provo together and spent the week. While the 11 and 7 year olds spent all day at sports camp, us girls took our little ones and shopped, played at dinosaur museums and parks, and even went to the parade of homes. At night the older girls enjoyed rollerskating, swimming, and sometimes just hanging out at the house we rented playing and watching movies. Wow, it was a fun filled week!

JDRF bowling day! The kids and I attended a fun day of bowling and visiting with friends at a JDRF function. It was wonderful to see so many of Janson's friends and to even met some newly diagnosed kids. There are 5 little boys all the same age as Janson who also have type I diabetes. It was refreshing to visit with mom's who experience the same ups and downs as we do, and of course for Janson to bond with kids that he can truly relate to! They all got to hang out and bowl. JDRF rented out "Jillian's" for all the families with children with diabetes in the area! Thanks JDRF! 
 
 
 

 

A goodbye party for Sara! Sara and Ben are moving to LA so we had to say goodbye with a fun luncheon! Kyndra put together a great gift- a book with a picture of us, our message to Sara, and a receipe for her! We also put together a little triva quiz about Sara- I even got some great stories from her sister! I always love an excuse to throw a fablous party for friends, but saying goodbye is always hard! We will miss you Sara.
