A Review of Summer

 Since I was so sick this Summer with this pregnancy, I wasn't that great at keeping up with our blog.  I decided to do a post highlighting our Summer activities.  

To start things off David graduated from kindergarten.  Each child wrote a story for their "Author's Corner" presentations.  Most kids wrote about a favorite toy or a trip they had been on.  David wrote the sweetest story about Derek called "My awesome Dad", watching him recite it in from of all the parents was priceless!

                                            I cut about 5 inches off of my hair and got some layers:)

Keller went to a birthday party that took a tour of the fire station.  He got to meet some real firemen and try on their cool uniforms.
The kids had a blast playing organized and neighborhood sports.  Wesley played on a Baseball team this year and got some home runs and a grand slam. David Played Soccer and score all 13 of his teams goals in one of their games. 




The kids got a kick out of watching the cement trucks and the workers as they laid the cement on our back patio.
We added a sandbox in the back for the kids to get dirty in, it has also been a hit with the neighbor kids.
We bought a trampoline which the kids loved to play on (especially little Adam), until one day when the wind picked it up and carried it away.  When we found it in the field behind our house it was completely crumpled!


 We enjoyed a visit from one of my former students Ernst and his wife Helga from Switzerland (the kids enjoyed the Swiss Army knives they brought as gifts!)
  I helped decorate a for a friend's daughter's wedding and had fun realizing I can make something that is not exactly my style and have fun doing it.  For more photos of this wedding go to: http://interiordesignbysara.blogspot.com/2010/08/summer-wedding.html 
I had another wonderful year at Stake Girl's camp (where I am in charge of the music).  After camp we were able to attend the baptism of Angelica, one of the girls who attended camp with our stake.
Our family went on a little outing to Idaho Falls to see the display of some amazing photos taken by the Hubble Telescope.  The Idaho Falls visitor's center was second in the world to get the display after D.C. 
 Wesley and David Celebrated their birthdays in July.  Wesley turned 8 and David turned 6. While I was in Utah fixing up our house, Derek ran David's entire birthday party by himself (what a champ!).  The Summer's highlight was witnessing Wesley's baptism on July 3, 2010 performed by Derek.  What a special day that was (see post below for more photos of that day).

The second greatest highlight,  was being able to be with our extended family at the Keller Family reunion.  I was put in charge this year which was quite a lot of work, but a very cool experience for sure (see below for more photos of our week at Bear Lake).

The kids and I went on an outing with some neighbors to the Idaho Falls Zoo.  It's nothing like the San Diego Zoo where we had taken Wesley as a baby....but it was great and the kids loves seeing all those wild animals close up!
