I have a favorite song from primary and this time of year it plays over and over in my mind.
Oh, What Do You Do in the Summertime?
Oh, what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green?
Do you fish in a stream, or lazily dream on the banks as the clouds go by?
Is that what you do? So do I!
Oh, what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green?
Do you swim in a pool, to keep yourself cool, or swing in a tree up high?
Is that what you do? So do I!
Oh, what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green?
Do you march in parades, or drink lemonades, or count all the stars in the sky?
Is that what you do? So do I!
It feels like the summer is quickly ending and school is fast approaching. I passed my math test and get to start with Math 1010. The test proctor smiled as I came back again to take the test and I said to her I hope you never have to see me again. After the test was over, by the way there are only 14 questions, I knew I had got the score I needed. I nearly jumped out of my seat and ran up front, she grinned and told me she would let me enroll in 1010. I told her I would probably scream a little in the elevator on the way down. Thanks for all your help Josh and Adrienne.
The basement is almost done, and I hope to NEVER have a flooded basement again. Bart has been a trooper through all of the chaos. The boys have not had a bedroom most of the summer and we still like each other.
Like the song says I hope to lazily dream and watch as the clouds go by ...... I hope you do too.

Never Bored at my house
Since my last post I have been to Idaho again to help with my parents and visit with my family. My basement flooded and I hosted a 5 day family gathering with 20 of the family here. We played hard, ate well, slept little and laughed a lot!!! 
We went to our neighborhood breakfast and were served omelets, texas toast, watermelon and juice and milk. The kids all made matching 4th of July celebration shirts, stamped with original stamps made from pasta and fabric paint.
Aren't they cute??
Another thing we did was take everyone minus a few men (Bart, Grandpa and Hayden) and went to the DI. Everyone likes to go on this treasure hunt, grandma usually finds dishes to add to her collection and the young boys found AWSOME toy guns and the little girls added to their ever growing stuffed animal collections. I think Adrienne may have won with the most original and nostalgic item . . . a Saved By The Bell board game for $1.00. It only took 3 vans and a couple of hours for this adventure.
Baseball in the park is always fun, mostly laughing at the moms and helping the kids hit the ball. Thanks Bart for making sure everyone felt like the star of the team.
Well there you have it, a little snippet of what's been going on around here. The only thing that would have made the time perfect was if Jessica, Blake, Lisa, Abby, Lauren and Berg could have come. Maybe next year???
