Hot Fun In The Summer Time


Greetings y'all from the great state of Washington. How is everyone. We here had a very busy week. As you all know we celebrated two very important birthday's on Saturday. On Sunday I received my very first calling in the ward and it wasn't primary. I am now the assistant Secretary in the relief society. I guess there are almost 400 women in the ward and they need help keeping up with them all. I know that i will have fun with it.




We finally got rid of Sarah Wednesday. I'll have to admit I really loved having her here. I wanted to do something big while she was here so we all (except alex) went to the coast on Tuesday. It was really windy and the water was extemely cold but that didn't stop the girls from playing in it. Sarah found horses and after going almost two weeks without riding i paid for an hour trip so she could ride a horse on the beach. A dream come true for her. After the ride we walked the beach looking for shells. Sam kept picking up the crab shells wanting to take them home. Ashley kept calling all the pigions Dory. All in all we had a great time.




Not much else has been going on. The weather here has been great. On Wednesday it reached 100 degrees in some places. That's hot since we don't have airconditioner in our house. The girls don't mind it. They love to play out side no matter what the weather is like.




Well, we hope that all is well you. Until next week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We just celebrated Ashley and Samantha's birthdays Saturday. Samantha had turned 8 on Friday and Ashley turned 9 on Saturday. We had a sleepover Friday night with the two neighborhood girls to celebrate Sam's b-day. It was fun. We did cupcakes and let her open up one gift.

We had the combined party on Saturday. It was a blast. We did a water theme party. I was really stressing over it in the morning because it was cloudy and cold. It started to warm up about an hour before the party started. The girls had a lot of friends show up. Mostly they were cousins and friends of the family but they all had fun. We had a wiggly sprinkler, a slip-n-slide, water balloons, water guns and a moon bounce. We had a lot of family come. Some we haven't seen in years. All in all we had a great time and the girls made out like bandits in the presents department.

We hope that all is well with everyone. We love you all.

P.S....... sorry there are no pictures to post from the party. my photographer (sarah lane) didn't take any. ;)
