Balloons

Thanks Nana and Grandpa for sending us fun stuff in the mail including these rocket balloons.  We took them to the football track and had fun with them.











Here's a video of the balloon fun...




Pioneer Day celebrations - first was a rodeo in Pima on Friday night.  It rained pretty good so after about an hour we were able to get front row seats because everyone else cleared out!  The kids loved it so we'll definitely have to keep out eyes open for when there's another rodeo nearby.


Then on Saturday was the parade in Pima.  Notice how "clean" our kids are.  We got so busy and weren't keeping track of the time that when we realized it was time to go, there was no time to clean up.  And wouldn't you know it, we ran into several people we knew!  We also saw Grandpa's train in the parade!




I think the kids must have used every blanket in the house for this fort!

The "library" is open for business.  Paige hung up signs all around the house and rented books out to everyone.



Tad slammed his finger in the door and got an "owie"

We woke up Sunday morning to a house full of TP - thanks girls!! (We know it was you!!!)



I finally learned to french braid hair (after watching some you tube videos)!!  It still takes me a long time but I've been experimenting with the girls hair.

Love the "library" - that's too cute :)
And good job on the french braids - it took me forever to be able to do one on Caroline that I was satisfied with.

Thanks Joy, for telling us about Pima. We were one of the families that left when we were drenched in the rain but the kids really had a good time. Jake even entered the boot race.
The parade was such fun, glad we went.
I love the library too, what an ingenious thing for her to come up with...you go girl!!
