We have had lots of fun this summer. We have learned a lot of life lessons these past few months and are continuing to do so. Sometimes life throws you curve balls and you have to find ways to continue on and get through them. We have learned how important family is. They are the people you can count on through the rough times to help you get through. I am grateful for all of the support we had from friends and family while Eric was out of work this summer. We are so grateful for the Job he found and feel blessed to be a part of a great company.
We had lots of fun with dad home this summer. We loved going to concert's at the bountiful park. We would bring our blankets and lawn chairs and sit and relax together. The best part for the girls was the huge snow cones they loved to eat. They definitely had blue lips by the time they were finished with it! I loved the concert's! We went to the bag pipe concert and it was fabulous. We also went to the Carmen Rasmussen Concert and it was also really good. She was a top 12 finalist in a past season of American Idol.
Hailey had fun swimming and even started to learn how without her arm floaties on!
The girls had tons of fun with duct tape. They made all sorts of things out of it. Their favorite was making flower pens. They made a whole bunch to sell at a fundraiser for some friends of ours whose dad was just diagnosed with cancer. They were able to sell all of their pens and made $20 to donate to the family.
The girls have been begging me all summer for feather in their hair. While we were at Bearlake over Raspberry days they had a booth doing feathers for $5. We jumped at the chance and they were very excited.
We took a tour through the Sweets Candy factory. They thought it was pretty cool. The best part was ending in the candy store!
With Eric's new job we had a company Lagoon Day. The girls were so excited to finally get to Lagoon and they loved it. Hailey begged Eric to go on the octopus ride with her. She also loved Bomborra.
Brooke and Lori were also at Lagoon so we met up with them and the three little cousin's had tons of fun together. Eric and I split up and he took the older kids. Brinley and her cousin Brady had lots of fun together. They rode Wicked, Colossus, Spider and all of the other thrill rides all by themselves! They thought they were big stuff! Sadie went with Lori and Kelsey and rode rattle snakes rapid and some of the other rides! We were exhausted by the end of the Day!
Hailey had a fun play date with her friends at the Dinosaur Museum at thanksgiving point! She loves her cute friends!
I have mixed emotions with summer being over. I loved having the kids home (in between all of the fighting!) but we did have lots of fun together. The girls make everything brighter and I love them so much!

You have such a cute family. We really enjoy having you as our neighbors. Glad that the summer was fun and ended with a new job for Eric! Hope your older girls are enjoying school. I am sure that Hailey is just as excited for preschool as Krish is.
That was from Amber by the way, but Kamal feels the same ; )
