Week (or two) in review...

The past week and a half has been pretty busy, but really not too much busier than any other. The only difference would be that instead of spending time online/blogging I've been scrapbooking. I'm attempting to get caught up. I'm making slow progress, but I'm pleased to say that Emma is now in existence in our books:) This still puts me at over three years behind, but some progress is better than none. I'm hoping to get caught up by the end of the summer. I posted a while ago about going digital. I'm still excited about it, but currently I'm "paper" scrappin' because I'm so behind, I've got all the pictures printed, and basically I love it and can't give it up. Tom's a little disappointed and thinks I should go totally digital (I can't imagine why), but I've decided to do both. As Tom likes to point out... "Why have one, when you can have two for twice the price?"
To catch up a bit, here's a glance into our lazy days of summer:





On Monday the 2nd, Allen, Carson, Ellie and some of their friends came up to the cabin. They planned a trip to the fish hatchery in Kamas, so we decided to tag along. The kids loved it, and Emma is still talking about the big fish whose job was to splash her.





That night we went swimming at the Fitness Center for FHE. Our pass there has been one of our best investments this year. Although swimming for babies is now only with appropriate swim diapers and plastic pants, Ali doesn't seem to mind.







Bentley has been enjoying baseball. It has been fun to watch him but painful too because it feels like it could be February here.









Grandma Bentley came to visit before and after she had a fun get away with some of her friend. We were so happy to see her!










Grandma Christy came up on Tuesday and brought her new kitten, Oreo. The kids have loved playing with him and got a kick out of it when he fell asleep in the baby stroller.








Ali hasn't been going to bed very well as of late, so the other night after putting her in bed I gave her a massage with some Eucerin cream. It worked really well to calm her down and she drifted off. However, the next morning she apparently wanted some more cream and decided to help herself.







Emma has a new hairdo that she likes because it has "five ponies".











Then, on this past Tuesday we had to go to Heber for some car repairs. Tom was in SLC, so we were without wheels for about an hour and half. Not to worry though, we packed Bentley's bike and the stroller and were off to the nearest park. Well, the "nearest park" turned out to be about two miles away. I knew it was a ways, but we didn't have many other options. The kids were fabulous though. Bentley rode like a champ, and the girls were great in the stroller. Part of our walk was on a road without a sidewalk, so we all enjoyed chanting, "bumpy road, bumpy road... smooth road, smooth road... bumpy road, bumpy road..." as we would move off and onto the pavement with each passing car. Luckily we didn't fall in any of the "hole in the road"s as we did come across some with all the new houses under construction in the area. Who knows maybe someday we'll own one of them... These are some pictures of the kids after arriving at the park.

And some after arriving home.








The weather was nice that morning, windy but warm. However, it was soon to change. That evening at Bentley's game we just about froze, and the next morning, Wednesday, we woke to this...








That's right! SNOW! In the middle of June!
