Water Park FUN!!

My sister, Alise came down for a surprise visit from Rexburg, ID yesterday. She came ready for a fun filled couple of days. After lunch today we went to the Oquirrh Park rec. center where they have a great water park about 10 mins. from our house. The kids LOVED it! When we got out of the car, the first thing that the kids saw was the big bucket of water dump down on a bunch of kids. Jason said, "I'm scared!" After carrying him over to the water he warmed up to it really quickly and was a fish after that. I was so glad. He is a lot more timid than the older ones and more shy. I'm happy that he enjoyed himself and played. That will make it even more fun the next time!

We never saw too much of Cameron and Melanie. Cameron was up the stairs to the slide and down the slide, and all over again. Melanie was busy doing what she does best, pretending to be a dog or cat...only this time in the water! I tell ya, if she could be anything other than a person she'd be a puppy or a kitty. She is too funny.

Alyssa absolutely loved the water with Keenan (Alise's boy). They had no fear of the water and loved every minute of it! Damon layed in the blow up toy in the water that was meant for Keenan, which actually worked out better anyway. This could be a great family outing place to go to for our family. Next time we will go with David. That will be fun!

Alise has more pictures of them in the water that I will have to get later! Now what to do tomorrow...

I'm so glad that you two are having a good time together. I absolutely love to soak in time with my sisters. They mean the world to me. It looks like that's a way fun waterpark and with this hot weather any water would feel good. Have fun!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
