Mishaps, and school starts.

On Sunday, Owen was jumping off the computer chair, not anything new. But this time he hurt his arm pretty bad and cried for about an hour until he went to sleep. When he woke up he played fine, but just took it easy and didn't use his left arm much. We kept watching it and finally decided his arm was fevering and he really wasn't going to use it. So, on Tuesday we took him in to get an x-ray. Lo, and behold, it was broken. So they fitted him with a splint at the surgeon's office and said that was what they like to do instead of casts. I didn't like it, we got home and he went upstairs and took it off and came back down to tell me it was all better. It has now been a week and he has left it on really good and it doesn't get stinky. We'll see next week if it is healing well and go from there. But when people ask him what happened, Anna always pipes in and speaks for him.

First day of school. Weston started 2nd grade with Mrs. Thompson and Paige began Kindergarten and has Miss Shelton. She has been most excited though, about the bus ride.

She and her cousin Hali at the bus stop.

I woke up one morning to find Owen out back feeding the horses and had to run out and snap a picture.

To my delight the kids got in superhero suits and played the other day. Weston used to love to dress up and play, but now he is gettting older, so when he did this I was so excited. Aren't they Super?

Re-cap of July

Since July is our busiest month, I take the most pictures...hence this post. If you don't have a lot of time right now, you might need to look at this post later.

The Godfrey family took our annual vacation, this year to Twin Lakes. We played so hard it took me three days to catch back up on sleep. We had a good time!

The Don Godfrey reunion included watermelon busting and Weston as the KING! A major slip and slide with dish detergent, train rides and an afternoon of catching up.

Hyde Park Founder's Day Parade, after we went to my mom's for lunch and some sliding. What else is there to do when it is this hot.

Swimming lessons was also packed into July, well worth it, but we're glad to be done.

Last, but not least, my older brother, Mitch, got married in June. Heather is a the best and we are so glad to have her.

Summertime

We camped at Bear Lake over the 4th of July and froze! There were some that braved the water, but not for long.



Weston's Coach Pitch team, I don't have any pictures of him playing, because I was pitching. I keep getting roped into coaching, luckily my sister Tiffany helped me, but at least he still thinks I am cool enough and likes me to.




Paige's T-Ball team.

Weston lost his front tooth. He wanted it out one night and even though it wasn't ready he twisted until it bled then had me yank on it. It wouldn't come, so he let his dad twist it until it was stuck sideways, then two good yanks (painful, I know) and it finally came out. Paige was so happy for him she put some money under his pillow too, he told everyone that he got money from the Tooth Fairy and from Tooth Paige.

Anna and Owen turned 3 this year. It seems like yesterday we were feeding, burping, and not sleeping. They play so good together now, that I claim it is my payback for the first year of their life. Besides Owen's obsession with how he looks, they are fairly easy. They love to play Mom and Dad together. They haul babies around here and take care of them all day, until dad gets home. Then Owen becomes his shadow and I don't exist.

The Palmer's always spoil these kids. Anna asked for ladies, Barbies, and ponies, so she got her first Barbie from the Palmers.

Owen saw this rope at IFA with Tyler a couple of weeks ago. We knew we were giving him this roping dummy and a rope for his birthday so his dad told him he couldn't get the rope. He continued to plead with him, to no avail. Then they walked out on the grass to wait for me to pick them up (they like to spend too much time there) and Owen says to Tyler, "Dad, let's just talk about this."

Her lady and pony.

Always a ham.

Tyler's mom got the award for Citizen of the Year and we attended the flag raising ceremony to see her get the award.
