Summer rundown: Part 1

Well, summer has been wonderful to this point. We've been busier than I thought we'd be, which I don't mind at all. I was worried at the beginning of summer how I was going to keep the troops entertained for the 10 week break. We've been at a nice steady pace of busy, and events/things-to-do have been evenly spaced out. We're down to the last 4 weeks before school is back in session. Surely I can make it through 4 more weeks!
We had little league. This year Caden and Paxton were in two different leagues, so it made for a lot of nights at the ball field. Fun nights though. Caden's team was all LDS kids except for one, so we were always in good/fun company. I failed in taking pictures this year. Not even one of either child. I do however have a picture of Daisy. One night at a game, while running full speed, she tripped and her face broke her fall. It happened right in front of a lady who then carried her to me. She said she hit her face first. I checked and she didn't have even the smallest scratch on her hands or knees. Her nose bled like crazy, but she came out of it all ok.

We took a quick overnight camp out. This worked out nicely with being able to drop Macy off at G-ma/G-pa Hansen's for the night on our way up to the Pinals. It was a cold evening, but much fun. We shared the mountain that night with a stake from Mesa for their Father and Sons activity.




The kids requested scary stories and Spencer rattled off a few. Since that night Daisy has been telling the same stories. Next time you see her, ask her to tell you about "LARGE MARGE". Another one of my favorites that she tells, starts out with her in her scary voice saying, "Once upon a time, there was a man. And she was a girl...." She also likes to hold a flashlight below her chin, shining it up, while telling a story. She's a little riot!
