I kept asking Mason what he wanted for breakfast and he kept going for the peanut butter. I grabbed the bread and he yelled "NO!!" I said, "You just want to eat peanut butter?" He said, "yes" so I grabbed him a spoon and he sat down and pretty much went to town. Well I guess he got his protein for the day.
Our town had the first Utah Wind Power Celebration. Rocky Mountain Power has some really really big windmills at the mouth of the canyon to collect energy when the wind blows. And for all of you who have been too or live in Spanish Fork, we know that there will be a ton of energy collected. There was a big celebration at the Reservoir. Thousands of kids in Elementary Schools across the state drew pictures to win a prize. My little artist Morgan was chosen as one of the winners. There were 80 kids in all that won. So we drove on up to the reservoir and she claimed her prize, which was a kite. At first her and her friends thought she might win a rip stick or a wii...LOL kids! She was still pretty happy to win, knowing that only 80 kids out of tonz could win. We sat there for a little bit and the kids all enjoyed dipping there feet in the water watching kites fly all over along with a jet ski in the water pulling 7 kites that a guy was maneuvering around. The kids had a blast. Way to go Morgan!!!
This isn't the picture I got for the house but thought I would just add it on here. The kids did awesome!! Mason thank goodness had a nap before we came and Preslie did a quick one on the way. My friend Wendi had taken pictures here before, its some guys house in Springville. We just kind of walked on his property and luckily didn't meet anyone with a shot gun telling us to get off. It was a nice place, he had a pond with swans in it, but the little boogers wouldn't come by us for our pictures. Mason had a blast picking up rocks and throwing them into the pond with all the coi(?) fish. I was just happy that no kid had any accidents before this day (remember Preslie meeting with the driveway the day before we were going to try family pictures earlier), of course we decided to hurry and do these on Saturday right after Jason got off the mountain from hunting and before the BYU football game started, oh ya and before we got hit by a major rain downpour that came in. It was a nice day to say the least. Man aren't we just the cutest family ever!!!
The night before the big day I told her to get ready for bed and she got really nervous, knowing that the morning was coming really soon for her and she would have to face her fears of going to Junior High. The good thing was, 7th grade started a day before the 8th and 9th graders, so all the 7th graders could get to know there way around the school and such before all the others started. She got to have Wed off while the 8th and 9th graders started and then on Thursday they all go together. By the end of her first day she did say, "It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." I think she will do just fine. 
I can't believe Morgan is in 5th grade this year...wow how time goes by so fast. Morgan was really excited to go to school, I personally think it's because of the new clothes. She has her best friend Erica in her class with her again this year so I think that really helped with her going back. I've never seen Morgan up and ready to go to school so early like I did this morning. We shall see how long that lasts.
Preslie and Mason went out this morning at about 9:30 to jump on the trampoline and play on the swings, she came in and said she was cold..umm hello its 78 out there. Anyways, she decided she needed her ski jacket on and her snow boots...strange kid I have, but I love her to death. Of course Mason had to follow her and grabbed a coat, thank goodness it wasn't a ski coat and the boots stayed off.
From July 29th -Aug 1st, I got to go with the girls in my ward to Girls Camp up Payson canyon to Camp KoHoLoWo. We had a blast!! I have the best girls in the world in my ward and it was so much fun to be with them. The theme was "Come hold your torches high" and each ward was given a country to represent. We were Germany. We had to learn the theme and I'm a Child of God in German. It was HARD.
One of the greatest moments was...I got to spend it with my daughter Paige. It was her first year at camp and she had a ball. I thought she would want to hang out with her dear ole mother but she actually went on her own and hung out with her friends. I enjoyed being with her those 4 days, I can't believe how big she is..just seems like yesturday I brought her home from the hospital.
I was so happy to have my BF Wendi there with me. She is awesome and I love to hang out with her. We are like two peas in a pod. Scary huh? We are both just so excited to be alive, the bears didn't find us in our little tent. (there had been bear sightings before at this camp) The girls were all safe and sound in the cabin but the fire marshall wouldn't let more then 14 in a cabin so some of us roughed it and slept in tents. I'm thankful for all my leaders that came with me..THEY ROCK!! Thanks..Addie, Katie, Ronda, RaeAnn, Linda, and Wendi!!
I HAVE THE GREATEST HUBBY EVER!!!! This is what I got for my birthday, a few days early. Its totally loaded. (we had to sell a couple of kids for it..LOL just kidding) I have been looking for a long long time and he decided to go and take a look at this one and wala I drove it home, well rather he drove it home. (although I didn't need a new car to know how much he loves me) So this will be the Families Mormon Assault Wagon for many many years to come. Thanks BABE!!!
