Family fun at the park

ready to ride

Huston enjoyed his first ride in the bike stroller as well as his first swing ride. This is my favorite time of the year. When it still is light outside but not 1,000 degrees outside, I could do without the bugs though.

Our Newest Additions!!

All those little orange flecks in my dirty tank (gross, sorry) are babies and that is just one corner!!there are a ton.

Rick took the kids yesterday to buy crickets for the boys frogs (we are babysitting them this week)and came home with some new fish. We only had one sword tail fish left from when we first got them last year. They got a female sword tail and some neon tetras. I was thinking great more things to feed clean care for, GREAT!! The kids were excited so whatever. Well as I walked past the tank on my way to bed after watching Phelps win one more GOLD I noticed one of the tetras was belly up and then something else caught my eye. The food was darting around. Hum strange I thought . I flipped on the light to see like 40 babies with big eyes staring back at me!!!!I total freaked out. So I spent the next hour researching what to do. They are nets and dividers and who knows what else is suppose to be involved. Most fish eat the little ones so now I have four big fish in my sink waiting for the morning. What A Day! I still don't know what to do but at least they won't get eaten tonight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALI!! I hope turning thirteen was awesome.We love you.

The Olympics

Morgan is addicted to the olympics. The last few nights of Swimming gymnastics and volleyball. She has always loved TV but she loves to watch the swimming. She of course asks if she can go swimming too. I don't think she likes my "well honey the pools aren't open at midnight so we have to go to bed now !"

Way to go Phelps!!!

5th Ward Enrichment night

Morgan and I had fun making princess wands and scrapbook pages to remember the night by. We had to wear hats and gloves. our gloves didn't last very long!!

The biggest ice cream social this side of the Mississippi!!


(or so the news says.)


Morgan and I hit the zoo this Saturday for the ice cream social. You walked around the zoo and they had free ice cream everywhere. Morgan also got her face and hair painted. It was really fun. She wasn't so sure of the bouncy jungle but liked the entrance. We spent a good hour climbing in the spider nest. We had a lot of fun and can't wait for next years social. bye the end we had shared 4 cones.!!! most of it ended up all over her face! Once a year ice cream counts an a nutritious dinner right?

What happens when you leave Gonzie alone for a minute!! I love her face in the first picture. She is so full of it sometimes. I love it!

The packaging came from her new toy box. Rick and I went to put it in her room and this is what I found when I came back out to the family room. She spent a long time trying to pick the pieces off but finally gave up. I had to stick her in the shower and I still find pieces of it. That stuff has some serious static! I can't get the picture to stay rotated. sorry

Okay so I guess I will have to settle for now with this template design!!

I don't know what I did

So something happened to my background so I had pick a generic one. If anyone knows how to make cute ones let me know. I hate generic!! do you do digital scapbook pages and then download upload whatever someone help me please!!!

We spent the day at lava last week. We all had a blast. This is the first time all the cousins were together. All 11 kids and both grandparents.

Fun with Savanah

We had a lot of fun while Aunt Brandi was here with her girls. Morgan and "Nana" (Savanah)had a good time together. they got to go to the pool, the lake, the zoo, the park, finger paint, color, fight, watch cartoons, movies and PLAY PLAY PLAY!! Huston and Brooke also enjoyed laying on the floor together!

Memories!

Be nice here people!! j/k I'm excited to read what you have to say.

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Gratitude!

I was on the computer and came across some blogs that reminded me to be grateful for each day. My two beautiful children are playing together on the floor right now. Morgan is such a sweet girl with her brother. A side most don't get to see because if people are here she has to be right in the middle of everything reminding you whose stuff you are playing with. Huston loves to roll and Morgan loves to help him. I was so worried when I was pregnant that this baby would completely ruin her world. I was wrong big time. They love each other so much. I can't find my camera so there is no pics. I am so grateful for these two amazing children. Also, I am grateful for the experience I had of getting to hold my stillborn baby. The six months that I had to carry her where so sweet. The Lord had blessed me so much in the past 4 years. I am thankful that my sweet little Emma did not have to experience pain in this life that would have been overwhelming I am sure. I never felt closer to my loving Heavenly Father then I did going through that experience. I love the gospel and am so grateful for it in my life. I am thankful for my Ricky and what an amazing daddy and husband he is. I love him so much and am so thankful he continues to love me. Love you babe.

We spent the weekend before the 24th in good old Cokeville for the celebration. We had a great weekend with all the Himmerich siblings together. Brandi and her girls are here from Colorado and Micahs family is up from Omaha. Friday night we went to the under eighteen rodeo. Hunter and Camden rode the sheep (mutten busting) they had an absolute blast and wanted to do it again. the king kids all did stuff to. Way to go guys. We spent Saturday going to the parade and then to Bear Lake. The kids all had a huge bag of candy by the end of the parade and loved it. The lake was great. Thanks Grandpa Don for the use of the jet skis and Grandma for makingn sure we were all fed!!
