As soon as our summer started we already had stuff planned for Shayna and Tristan, she had to go to girls camp two weeks ago and it was for 3 days, somehow I got involved into coming to the "Beehive Retreat" (they didn't have real camp this year because the older kids are going to Navoo) to teach a sewing class, I had no ideas what was in store but I signed up anyways because I wanted to help and they couldn't find people to come do it. So I signed up for two long days, since Dan could not get days off work I found a couple of wonderful ladies to help me those two days and they watched all 4 of my kids for about 5 or 6 hours. I am so grateful to them for their help and still need to bake some goodies to bring them over.
So the sewing lessons were schedule to last one hour and thirty minutes which was crazy because the project lasted about 30 minutes all together but I got to meet some wonderful sisters that are in our stake and they are wonderful people. I also had a little bit of a trial during the second day but I will blog about it another time.
I got to see Shayna and the rest of the beehives there, it was fun to spend some time together with Shayna at camp. The second day went a little faster and I got to eat lunch with my Shayna and her friends, didn't bring my camera because I thought Shayna would be embarrased but I did manged to take a pic with my phone... took some convincing buty it worked.
Anyways that was the second week of June, last week it was Tristan's turn and he went for the first time to the Day Camp for CubScouts, no I didn not sign up to be a volunteer but I did end up driving one of his friends the three days that they went and his mom drove them back home the three nights so that was really nice. His older sister came and spent two days with us while his brother was at camp and Shayna had a blast hanging out with her, we took her to the pool and had dinner together. The last day another one of her friends joined in the fun and Shayna was in heaven.
And now we are getting ready to recive Grandma Brown who will be spending a whole week with us starting Wednesday. the kids are really excited to see her and spend time together. We area planning on taking her to some parks close by, to feed the police horses, maybe to the movies and watching movies at home but mostly just hang out. It will be fun.
So far we have been able to go to the pool regularly and it is really nice to see Kahlan getting a little bit more brave in thew ater, this year the boys are getting braver in the water too. We have been working on little projects and big projects, reading books, watching our favorite shows and just bonding time with each other. Of course they drive eahc other nusts and me too, sometimes I go hide in my room so I can keep my sanity.
I feel so much happier this year because last summer was kind of a bummer after my surgery and we didn't get to do a lot. My goal is always to make the kids happy and I think we are doing a good job so far. Stay tuned, who knows what adventures we will have.
