Duck Pond and Fun Pictures...

It is always fun to take the kids up to BYU campus and visit the duck pond. They have so much fun feeding the ducks bread and sometimes chasing the poor ducks around. After eating lunch at Chuck E. Cheese and after my mom, Whit and the kids coming home from a wedding reception we headed to BYU to do just that. I swear one of these days one of the kids is going to get too close to the water and fall right in...














After visiting with our dear friends at the duck pond we decided to come home and have a small photo shoot. Whit wasn't too happy about something and decided not to get in any of our pictures... After the outside shoot Lilly decided she wanted her picture taken again and then decided to take one of me as well...

Chuck E. Cheese... Part 2

Last Saturday (the 7th) we once again had some time with the kids. They kept begging me to take them back to Chuck E. Cheese and my sisters thought it would be fun too. I had a hard time turning the two babies down. Lilly once again didn't really want to ride on any of the rides but had fun holding the tickets that Whit and I won on the games. With the tickets that we got we decided to get all of us a pair of star glasses to have fun with later on...

Grad School...

So on August 5th I finally applied to grad school... however I had a tough decision to make. Yes my heart is totally into going to Boston to grad school BUT I decided that my priorities were elsewhere. With Ry being sick I decided that I would rather stay close by him and spend as much time with him as I can then move across the country. For a few days I thought that would mean that I was giving up my dream of going to grad school. Luckily my good friend Patty came by my office and reminded me that there are different options. She has been working on her master's degree in education online through the University of Phoenix. I got on the computer and found a library science degree that would also give me an emphasis in archives. It is through San Jose State. Without really thinking it all through I got on and applied for their program. It is looking like I will be starting my online program in January! After applying I kinda started freaking out because I had actually finally applied!

Rock Pets...

After our adventure to Chuck E. Cheese we ran over to Roberts and grabbed a few supplies to make our own rock pets. The kids were so excited to make their own pets. They got to choose the color of paint they wanted their pets to be and then after supply shopping we went home in search of rocks. They picked out their own rocks and then got a few to make some for Grandma, daddy and Lacey, mommy and for Whitney (who wasn't with us). I think their favorite one was the gator they made for Whitney. They gave the gator lots of eyes...

Chuck E. Cheese... Part 1

We ended up having the kids for the week after the 24th of July. On Monday the 26th the kids were really bored and needed to get out of the house. My mom asked me if I would take them somewhere to entertain them for a little while... My solution? Chuck E. Cheese... After all, it is the place where a kid can be a kid! The kids had a blast there! Lilly was scared to go on most of the rides but enjoyed watching Ry go on them. Most of her attention was on the performance on the stage (or more of a lack of performance on the stage). She kept wanting to go and watch them up there.

Behind...

So this summer I have really fallen behind in my blogging. I will be updating everything that has been going on in my life the past few weeks after I finish my finals this week. I have lots to update!
