June according to my iphone

Mall time with friends...
 lots and lots of pool time...
 bonding with siblings
 celebrating this boy's 8th birthday
 This gal registered for college classes at BYUI and got a new laptop courtesy of her Gramps.  She loves it.
 Swim team...
 Twilight camp...
 Smashburger (cuz sometimes during the summer I just can't bring myself to cook)...


We have been making these fun survivor bracelets out of parachute cord.  I think we are a little bit addicted.


 Ok, I know it's weird  thing to blog about but I was so proud of myself that I am staying on top of my "ZONES" each week and am spending about a half hour each day deep cleaning.  Last summer, I didn't and  I really regretted it.  Last week of June I cleaned out the pantry, fridge and garage freezer.  Admittedly, I found meat in our garage freezer that was from 10 years ago.  Oh my gosh it was long overdue.

Brent has been very busy at work and is hoping that all that hard work will pay off very soon.  it is sometimes frustrating to be in sales and have such long sales cycles.  He has been really busy with his new assignment on the High Council too.  They rattled off the sustainings of about 20 stake callings last week and I think he extended more than half of them.  We  are knee deep in trek stuff trying to get everyone called to all the key positions and finalize who will be our MA's and Pa's at trek.

Jensen is working hard at Old Navy and continues to love it!  She has been recognized several times by management for doing such a great job and she seems to really enjoy the people she works with.  Her bank account continues to grow and grow and she should be in great shape when she leaves for school in a few short months.

Tanner is working just as many hours each week at Cinemark.  He really likes it as well and has made some new friends from Frisco.  He loves the perk of being able to go to movies for free and have free kettlecorn, drinks, and slurpees.  It really is the perfect job for a dating, movie loving 17 year old boy.


Overall it has been a great, relaxing, super chill month.  
I love the summers that we choose to not go anywhere.  
 Here is to a happy July!

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who ...

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown
