Some of what we've been up to lately

Several weeks ago I met up with my good friends from high school to go swimming at Murray Rec center.  It was so good to see them and spend the morning with them, I just wish April and Megan could have made it.

 On more than one occasion I have gone into the bedroom to work out and when I finish this is what I find, Greydon has stolen his binky out of the crib, found a blanket and climbed in the vibrating baby chair and fallen asleep.

My kids love picking vegetables from the garden,  this is after helping pick the green beans.

Last weekend we went to my parents house in Midway. We made tin foil dinners and played in the backyard

And then later that night we roasted marshmallows, we forgot the big ones so we ended up using mini ones and the kids thought it was so fun and actually ate them better than the giant ones.

On Sunday we went to church (which was quite the battle with my two kids, they didn't do well at all) and then went and fed the ducks at the pond.  We were surrounded by ducks, they must have been starving or something because they acted like they hadn't been fed in ages. 

At the beginning of August I was able to go to dinner with a bunch of my friends from Henderson.  A bunch of us all happened to be in Utah and since so many of us have been out of town or moved away for several months I haven't seen some of them for a while.  So it was fun to get together and visit without the kids!

Leila always gets my camera and takes self portraits of herself.  Going through my camera and finding these little treasures always makes me laugh.

Last week Leila and I drove home so I could go to a doctor's appt.  I was able to meet up with a bunch of friends from my ward to celebrate all the summer birthdays, it was such a fun night at Cafe Rio.  Leila got to play with her friends and go to Wacky Wednesdays at her preschool.  We then headed to St. George to meet Paul's family.  The kids played at the indoor playground and then we went out to dinner at the Brick Oven.  That night we went and saw "The Little Mermaid", which was so good.  Leila stayed awake for the whole show except the last 20 minutes but it was almost midnight by that point to I'm surprised she stayed up that long.  The next morning we got up and swam at the pool and then headed back to SLC that afternoon. 

On Monday it was Connie's birthday so we got together at Sean and Heather's home for dinner and cake and ice cream.  Leila just loves playing with her cousin Tamari.  They were so good the whole night and spent most of the night playing dress up and putting on dance shows for us.
