Summer

Sorry for the long pause....summer is here and not much is happening. School ended on June 12th and thank goodness. It is nice to get a break from all the crazy kids. This summer I haven't done anything too exciting..hence the long pause....the 4th of July came and went. We had our annual party with friends and had our own fireworks show, which turned out fantastic...not to short and not too long. No pictures, sorry I forgot to get my camera before we started. Oh, back in May, I started teaching Gospel Doctrine at church (Sunday School Class) every other week....can I just say that the Lord has a sense of humor?!?!? Because believe me if I didn't know that this is what He wants me to do I would not be doing it. I do not like teaching...it makes me way to nervous. Anyway, enough on that...Um....this past weekend one of my oldest friends, Aaron Rogers, was married. I helped set up for the reception and then also helped out at the reception. It turned out fantastic. It was a great party. So much fun! I got to see friends that I haven't seen in YEARS. It was great to catch up with them and to see where like has taken them. It's great to reconnect with old friends. Plus I have never seen Aaron so happy in all the time that I have known him...which it's been awhile...isn't great to see your friends so happy? Well, it makes me happy to see him so happy. So congratulations to him and his wife, Leia! The girls continue to grow and surprise me in all that they do. Bubbles, I swear would literally live in the pool if we let her. She is learning to swim and can hold her breath for like 2-3 seconds underwater and she can swim in the shallowend for short burts...getting longer everytime she gets in. Squeakers likes the water and is getting braver every time she gets in. I knew once the weather and water warmed up she would just see it as a big bath tub and she has. She and Bubbles have these floating fishies that are rings and she swims all over the shallow end as long as someone follows her around. I can't believe how big they are getting! (pictures to follow in another post). Handsome is so cute! He is getting so big, he loves to "talk" to you and kick his legs and of course he loves to be held...by his mom. He likes the pool as well...actually he likes to be held in the pool by his mom and fall asleep on her chest. It makes me laugh, he is just so cute all cuddled up sleeping in the pool. I swear one of these days I am going to get a picture of it. Everything else is going well. I am still working for the school district, but have the summer off(what a great thing!). I swear if I ever decided to become a teacher it would because of the time off they have in the summer and around the holidays. But I don't want to be a teacher, so if people would stop asking me if I want to become a teacher that would be fabulous. Just saying. Anyway, on a side note to the above....if I knew what I wanted to do...I would just get on with it and just do it...any suggestions? Besides teaching.... Well, that's about it, our family is going on vacation next week down to the San Diego area and I am so excited! I love going down there and we haven't been there as a family in a LONG TIME so I am way excited, plus we get to go to my FAVORITE beach, La Jolla! Yahoo! I know it's probably not the most amazing beach in the world but I love it! Also, tomorrow, Ashlee and I and some other friends are going to the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and I am SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! I can't wait. Highlight of my week. WooHOO!!!Anyway, that's it for now. Hope you all enjoyed the update!
