I am so glad that I am able to spend the time in Utah while Nate is gone. It has been a great help to be around my parents. I know that if I was in Mtn. Home right now all I would be doing is sitting on my tush all day long thinking about how miserable I am that Nate is gone ( I am kinda a Debbie downer like that). I have been having a lot of fun with the kids and being with my parents has forced me to get out of the house.
One night my mom and I took the girls to go and get ice cream. Yummy! And the following night I took the girls to see Eclipse. We loved it and it!
Ella gets asked to take care of the shoes everyday. When I first saw that she did this I thought she was doing it this way because she didn't like to do it and it was so much easier to just through them into a pile like this then set them out nice. But, as you can see she has neatly stacked them and all of the shoes are stacked together with their partner. And this is how she always stacks them now. It is funny because when we have to get one shoe out the whole thing tumbles to the ground.
Tyler and Ella have spent a lot of time outside in the water. Mostly just playing with the hose but sometimes it is in the sprinkler and sometimes it is on the slip and slide. They have also been spending a lot with the neighbor kids which has been quite a treat for the kids. They don't have anyone that lives close by to just hang out with. So to be able to just walk over to the neighbors has been fun for them.
Ella being brave and jumping off the swing
We have also been spending time hiking with my dad in the canyon (we have many canyons by my parents house all of them are within a few mins drive). Notice the sign by the girls. We go hiking in bear country because we are brave like that.
After girls camp the big girls decided that the little kids had to go snipe hunting. Natalie went out set out toothpaste as bait and let the kids go and look for them. They brought their pillow cases so they could catch one. Ella came running into the house and said " I saw one with dark dark red eyes that means he is really mad. It brushed up by me. I am too scared to go back out. See even mine legs is shivering." She would go to sleep until the girls had to tell her thatll of the snipes took the toothpaste bait and left. She still didn't believe them so they had to tell her that all of the snipes took the toothpaste bait and left. She still didn't believe them so they had to tell her that there was no such thing as snipes except for in China.

Nichole also wore make-up for the first time to church this summer. Doesn't she look nice?
