Well not too much has been going on. As most people know I spent the summer with my sister. I will have to find more pictures, but I didn't really take a ton. I had a blast while I was there. There was a lot of laughing, playing, and a little relaxing.
A few funny stories that happened. Aimee and I took Mackenzee and Parker on what was supposed to be a nice stroll around the lake. It was 13 miles and I really thought the kids could do it. Lets just say we made it 4.25 miles. We had tears, throwing up, and some yelling. It is fun to look back on this and just laugh now. Aimee and I decided to try it the next day and it was HARD! We got lost a couple of times and ended up going 16 miles and had Mac pick us up at the bottom of the hill by their house. So after we did it, we ended up being really proud of Mackenzee and Parker for going as far as they did.
We also went to the rodeo, it was sooo hot but we had a great time. There was a a rodeo clown that threw silver dollars all around the dirt and then they had the kids come down to try and find them. We told Mackenzee to go down and find one and her direct quote was , "Um don't you guys realize that I'm wearing my cute clothes."
We also went swimming a lot. I got the older two kids to go off the high dive, down the water slide, and jumping off a little rock wall into the water. It is amazing what bribery can do:) So since we swam a lot, our hair was getting really stiff and snarly. So I told Mackenzee I would deep condition it. Well they didn't have a shower cap, so I put saran wrap on her head while the conditioner did it's job. She looked in the mirror and said "That looks dumb, hold on." She then proceeded to get out a pink head band and put it on and then said, "Ok, much better". Her other big even was she got her ears pierced this summer.
Eliza really beats to her own drum and I love it. She goes at her own pace no matter what or who is telling her to hurry. She constantly says hilarious things. Her funny thing from this summer is she can do this pretty creepy voice. Well Aimee and I took her to Olive Garden and as we were leaving the lady opened the door for us and said, "Thank you come again". Eliza immediately bust out the creepy voice out of nowhere and said "You're Welcome". We all burst into laughter.
Parker this summer, wanted to grow his hair out so he could style it more. (Ok, maybe his mom and aunt wanted him to grow it out). He was so fun swimming with especially when we went to the water park. He has become so brave in the water.
