More of the 4th

So life has been super crazy lately.  I've been traveling for work the past two weeks including, two separate trips to Boise and one trip to Las Vegas.  The girls were super sick about 1 month ago with pneumonia.  Yeah, they had it back to back, which was crazy!  I had lots of help from Grammie and my sister Carol, thank goodness. 

So I realized I only posted one picture that I took of the 4th.  I was so busy that I never had a chance to even go through the pictures.  So tonight, I'm finally going to post something on this little blog of mine.  Enjoy!

July 4th Festivities

No More School... Hello Summer

I took this picture of Peyton on her last day of 2nd grade. She's moving on up to 3rd grade! I can't believe it! This summer will be filled with Girls, Inc. for both of the girls, a week long stay in Palm Desert, writing in a journal, trips to the beach, keeping up with workbooks, swimming, playing outside with the neighbors and just being a kid.

Logan's Preschool Graduation

Last week, Logan had her graduation ceremony from preschool. I can’t believe she will be in kindergarten this September. Logan was a little nervous about the graduation because her class was performing two songs. Logan has a bit of stage fright. She says she doesn't like that all the people are watching her and she has a nervous tummy. Well, Logan performed and she did an awesome job. No tears up on stage (that’s a first). She sang her little heart out and truly enjoyed herself. After the classes performed, they had the graduation ceremony. We will really miss all the teachers and friends, and having a faith based education.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to daddy! Here are a few pictures of Geoff and the girls. They are growing up too fast!

Geoff had to work on Father's Day so we celebrated last Wednesday by going to Islands for dinner and then we had family game night. The girls are pretty good at Jenga!  

 

On Father's Day, we went to my brother's house for a chili cook-off.  I Googled "best no bean chili recipe ever" and came up with this chili recipe.  $50 bucks later, I came in 3rd place out of 8. The only ingredient I had was sea salt so I had a whole lot of spices and meat to purchase. My dad was one of the taste tasters and he really had a great time!

The chili cook-off winners!
