Now that the kids are all officially back in school. I thought that I should give a little update on what we have been up to this summer. Somehow between three weddings:-) one funeral :-( and other misc activities we managed to have a pretty great summer. Joshua had a blast at BYU basketball camp with his cousins. Hannah met Jenny Phillips at girls camp. The whole family rocked out at the Jonas Brothers concert and to top it all off we went camping and boating up at Lake Hebgen near West Yellowstone. We paid 20 something bucks for the privilege of driving thru Yellowstone and I had to keep yelling at the kids to get their noses out of their video games and look at all the umm....trees. It seems that all the wildlife was napping or something. Anyway, it was a busy summer but we survived and even had a little fun. Here are a few pictures.
08/27/08 Luke had his first day of pre-school today and when he left he said to me. "I get to go to pretty school today." 07/31/08 Andy can have quite the temper sometimes(it must be the red hair) He was talking to Steve about it and somehow the subject of super heroes came up. Steve told Andy that when he gets angry he is like The Hulk and that is not good because when he gets angry he hurts people. Andy asked Steve who his favorite super hero was and he answered Captain America beacause when he gets angry he starts exercising and his anger goes away. Andy seemed satisfied and the conversation ended. At Church on Sunday Andy was pitching a fit and angry with me because he apparently did not get enough breakfast. After 20 minutes of him shooting angry looks at me and kicking the bench I had lost my patience with him and asked Steve to take him out. In the foyer the subject of super heroes came up again and Steve reminded Andy that he need to be like Captain America instead of The Hulk. Andy looked up at Steve with a funny look on his face and then got down on his hands and knees and started doing push-ups. When Steve asked what he was doing he said " I'm exercising so my angry goes away." Then he stood up, took a deep breath and said "I feel better now."
