On the Lookout

During this summer my husband has had the opportunity of working at 
BYU's West Mountain Astronomy Observatory.  

Along with watching out for stars and exoplanetary systems up there... you also want to keep a close watch out for rattlesnakes.  My husband says there are tons of them up there, maybe more this year because of the drought and heat.  He brought home these rattles as souvenirs for our kids.  Pretty awesome!

Take a Hike!

My husband came home from school after I had had a very difficult, long day with the kids.  I was standing at the sink, wiping down a few dishes and doing all I could to hold myself together.  I felt at any moment I would burst into tears.  My sweet husband noticed my exhaustion and swooped up all the kids from me. He told me to relax, to take a nap or go shopping.  He said, " I've got everything covered.  You just do whatever you want while I take them hiking to the Y." I gratefully hugged him and kissed him.

You know what I did for relaxation while they were gone?
 I cleaned!  I cleaned the whole house until it sparkled!  You might not think so but I thought it was such a wonderful break!  I just sat back and enjoyed my sparkly house.  About a half hour after the kids arrived home, it was messy again..... *sigh* such is life.  Oh well... It was nice while it lasted. 



Summer Birthdays

My youngest boy turned 7!  He wanted a superhero theme.

My youngest girl turned 4! She loves anything pink.

I just had my birthday too and one of my dear friends, Suzanne, had my husband and I over for a nice Brazilian dinner.  She also made me this fun candy gram.  What a cutie!  I just love Suzanne!
