Summer 2012 so far

Well the summer has been going by really fast!  We have gone to Seven Peaks Water Park a few times and played at the park, and we have been walking to the school for free lunch, but other then that it has been a quite summer.

On the 4th of July we just hung out at home and the kids could see the city fireworks from their bedroom window so we let them watch them and then go to bed.  It was nice no traffic to fight to get home!

We meet up with my sister Jaclyn and her family this last Saturday and had fun at the water park again.  Today is the 24th of July which is a State holiday in Utah to celebrate the day and year that the Pioneers came to Utah.  We watched a little bit of the parade online and then this afternoon I took the kids to a movie at the $1.50 theater, and they all did great!

We also got Dillon registered for 1st grade last week. We have a few fun things coming up in a few weeks before school starts.  I am starting to think it will be wired to have only two kids at home during the day once school starts.

Also I started a new job delivering newspapers.  So far it is going pretty well (but I have only been there a week) but it does have early hours.  We show up at the warehouse to pick up our papers at 2am and then deliver them by 6am.  I am usually home by 5am and go back to bed for a few more hours until the kids get up.  That will change a little bit once school starts as I will have to get two kids off to the bus in the morning as well.

So it has been a pretty boring summer, but that is all right, we are looking forward to seeing all of our cousins on the Dillon side of the family very soon !

Until next time!
