What have we been up to?

Summer is here and we are busy. We have been trying to have lots of fun this summer.
Here is what we have been up to....

We had a nice baby shower for Stacee and baby Mac on SAt. It was nice, lots of people came. There was awesome food and she got great stuff! My mom makes the best homemade rolls!

Fathers day was a nice dinner and cards at Mom Herberts and I made awesome oreo truffles sooo good! Then to the Innes to catch dad at the end of his BB game. I made Jim Innes Kid Air Freshners. Cute Eh? Now he can take them where ever he goes the kids I mean.



I took the kids swimming to the Scera along with Shelby. It was a great time. I am so ready for Lake Powell! The kids love the water!

I have been doing a Fun w/ Science Club with my mentoring kids every Wed. I get to bring my own kid and do it all outside soo fun and they are great kids. Last week we shot of mentos with Diet Coke anyone ever done that? If not try it, it's AWESOME!!! Just open soda, dump a whole package of mint mentos in the Diet Sode (warm works best) and WATCH out!

We took a day and went to SLC looking for cars and then to the Chalk Festival at the Gateway. It was fun, they gave us chalk and we got to draw in the Kids Corner, they had free stuff, face painting and then Jo tried out the fountain. It was neat to see the art and there were some really really young artists participating. The festival is free but is put on by Utah Foster Care!






We have also been to different work functions. Here is the Family Night Out at Canyon Glen Park up Provo Canyon, a good food and fun! I even made it to the top of the rock wall with lots of screaming. Jo however only made it up one step and then was done. I have to say thanks to Jim for coming along to all my work things and watchin the kids and taking great pics! I love you!






We are free of credit card debt. Thanks to Jim again! He has worked so hard, pulling money into savings before I could spend it :) and selling all sorts of RC heli stuff to get us out of CC Debt! Feels good.. Thanks babe!


Then some awesome news....Jim has been offered a new job working for California but here in Utah. If he accepts it will be a BIG change for us... more to come later.

Last we just went camping to a little lake called Redcreek in Eastern Ut with my family. IT WAS SO FUN!!!  I liked just sitting around, playing cards, playing with kids, and taking an occasoinal four wheeler ride. The kids had a blast riding wheelers,  getting dirty making forts, and eating sugar all weekend long. We didn't think we were going to make it on this trip as JO was ill with a 102 temp and then was vomiting just 2 days before AND we broke down in the Tioga Moterhome 2 times before we made it there. Poor things, it's getting soo old. Jim had to drive with the heat on.. no fun but it was worth it! Thanks to all who made it happen!
 
  
  


Now back to the grind, and man isn't it hot!
We hope you all are doing great, now stop reading blogs and get out and enjoy the sun!!!
