Movies

We were all up this morning with chores done and all to go to our summer movie. We even were able to rip out another bush from the front yard before leaving.

Paul was able to join us this morning, which the kids were so excited about. I was actually able to sit and watch the movie. Brayden just went back & forth from me to his Dad. We watched Mr. Popper's Penguins. I wasn't sure I would like it but it actually was pretty cute and the kids just loved it!

When we got home we had promised the kids that we would take them to ride their bikes at the middle school. Staci was for sure that she would get it today. After only one time of going around she was riding all by herself. She was so excited and had the biggest smile on her face. Now she just needs to figure out how to start by herself. She gets so frustrated with herself. Xander had his training wheels moved up and is trying to balance in the middle of his bike. He just may get it before Kaitlyn.

Then the kids helped their Dad while I ran to get a few things for the block party later. We were hosting a block party with the Labrum's down the street. I made some cheese fritters and Paul cooked up some brownies in the dutch oven. Paul didn't get to stay very long though. There was a kids leaving for bootcamp in a week and today was his farewell BBQ that his mother invited him to. He said he would be quick and just make an appearance. While he was gone I tried to BBQ our chicken and forgot about one piece. It cooked for almost an hour and was very crispy. When Paul got back I teased him that I made one special just for him. The kids had fun playing with the neighbors kids. We only had 5 families show up; but it was still good getting to know them all.

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
