Monday, July 11 - Zack had his 5 year well check and Ricki had her 2 year. Ricki is pretty average hight and weight but Zack is kind of a little guy. He was only 10% for weight which they were okay with because he was only 15% for height! I'm feeling much better about our decision to keep him back one more year from Kindergarten!
Tuesday, July 12 - Where there is free Chick-Fil-A chicken, there will my family be! The kids and I stopped at the Draper location after gymnastics and got free lunch. Later, I was talking to my sister and we decided to meet over at The District location for dinner. Dinner was MUCH crazier than lunch but it was still really fun to be there together.
Wednesday, July 13 - Kendra, Halle, and Brielle have been begging to have a sleepover for the past few weeks. I was at Jenni's in the afternoon today so we brought the girls home with us. Well, this was Kendra at about 8:45! We may need to have a talk about being a good hostess! :)
Thursday, July 14 - For adventure day today, we went back to Thanksgiving Point and explored The Gardens. There was hardly anyone there but after about 30 minutes, I realized why...it was 100 stinking degrees! However, the heat never bothered me so we hung out for a few hours, had lunch, put our feet in the fountains (not sure if that is allowed or not!), and then got in our car and turned the A/C on full-blast! I'm going to miss our fun adventures when the kids go back to school!
Friday, July 15 - Kendra had gymnastics every morning this week from 10:30-11:30. It has made it a very difficult week for me because I'm realizing it's hard to get anything done when I leave the house by 10:00 and don't get home until around 5:00. One compensating factor is that the gym is right by a 7-11. I went in to grab a $.99 Big Gulp and check out what is on all of the cups - a FREE Redbox! I think that is a great deal! $1.06 for a 32 oz. drink plus a free movie that would otherwise cost $1.60! I won't mention how many of these I got over the course of a week. Not as many as you might think! ;)
Saturday, July 16 - Happy 36th Birthday to Simon! I can't decide if this is the best day ever or just top 5. First of all, Gary, Alexis, and sweet tiny little baby Finley are home in Utah! All is right in the world! :) We had the privilege of helping them move their belongings from their moving truck into storage and Dave & Viv's. They will stay there while they search for a house. Hooray for family being close! In the afternoon, we went with this lovely crew to Rodizio Grill to celebrate mine and Simon's birthday's. We hadn't been out yet for my annual birthday dinner and it just so happened to fall on Simon's birthday so it was a good day all around! My only regret is not taking pictures this morning. I would have loved to have captured Nick and Kendra's first experience holding Finley. It's basically all Kendra has talked about since she was born almost a month ago!
Sunday, July 17 - We had a triple birthday party at our house. We celebrated Simon, Zack, and Ricki. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed just hanging out in the backyard being surrounded by the people we love. I feel extremely blessed to have the family that we do. It was such a wonderful occasion to all be together. Yay for birthdays!!
