Monday, August 1 - We have a busy week ahead so we decided to do our summer movie today. We keep promising the kids that we will go to lunch at Chick-Fil-A after the movie so we finally did that today. We were super excited that Nick came with us. The movie was "Hotel Transylvania 4" and we love those movies so it wasn't too hard to convince him to come with us.
Tuesday, August 2 - Nick left for Young Men's camp this morning and the kids were "so bored" so we decided to go on an adventure. We came up with a bunch of ideas but the weather wasn't great so we quickly nixed the idea of an outdoor activity. That lead us to the JL Sorensen Rec Center. They always want to go but we rarely do so we took the opportunity to go today. They had a blast and we stayed for over 3 hours!
Wednesday, August 3 - Zack started the next phase of his orthodontics. His bite is so much better, they were able to put braces on his top teeth to start to close the gap between his front two teeth. Tonight, the sunset was so beautiful! We have sure enjoyed some beautiful nights this summer. Now that our new neighbors have moved in, the kids go out every night and play night games until 10:30/11:00 pm. I simply love summer time!
Thursday, August 4 - Today was SO fun! Katie and the kids came into town just for today. Mom picked them up from the airport, went to Grandma & Jim's for a visit and lunch, met all of us at Cowabunga Bay for a few hours of water and fun, then finished off the night at my parent's house for dinner and visiting. Even though it wasn't even 24 hours, we loved every moment we got to spend with them! (But we did miss Kenny. Hopefully next time he can come too!)
Friday, August 5 - Meg, Marisa, Jenni, and I took all most of our kids bowling (dang oldest three boys). They had a blast and enjoyed two full games together. Then tonight, these cute kids all met up at Jax Burrow's house for night games and shenanigans. Have I mentioned I love summer?
Saturday, August 6 - Simon took a few hours and golfed 18 holes with some friends from our ward. I am so glad they were able to get him out, socialize, and do something active. Then later today, we had our ward summer picnic over at the splash park. The kids ran around and played hard after we enjoyed a yummy BBQ'ed dinner. Earlier, around 3:00, Ricki crashed on her bike. It didn't seem too bad but she laid on the couch for about an hour before getting up to help Kendra make cookies for tonight. After the ward party, all the neighborhood kids were out playing so I sat outside to watch them. Ricki came out from the house and said that she had just gone to the bathroom and it was bright red. At first, I didn't think too much about it but pretty quickly, Simon asked if that could be from her crash on her bike. She had complained that her stomach hurt where her handlebars went into her lower abdomen. We decided she needed some medical attention to make sure everything was okay so I took her to Cottonwood Urgent Care. They didn't really even see us before the doctor said that she needed to go to Primary's. If there was, in fact, internal bleeding, they would need her there. So off we went to Primary's. They rushed her back, checked her out, quickly got an IV in, and ordered a CT scan. Overall, they didn't find anything concerning so they sent us home around 2:00 am with instructions to check her stool for the next few times and make sure there is no more blood. Poor girl!
Sunday, August 7 - We celebrated Zack and Ricki today with the Pearson's. We had a good time and the kids liked running around and playing together. I am so glad we have this tradition each year!
