Hangin' out with the Parry Clan

We have had such a fun, relaxing time with Julie, Nicole, and Kyle. The kids have gone non-stop the whole time. By the time they go to bed, they crash in about 5 minutes. They have done everything from play video games (which Kyle is now addicted to...he wants a DS for Christmas), to Webkinz on the computer, jumping on the trampoline, running through sprinklers, or just being silly. They have had a blast!! We all will miss them so much when they leave on July 30th. Til' next year I guess!! We love you guys!!

Taylor's Date with Dad

Salt Lake Bee's vs. New Orleans Zephyrs

Saturday, July 26

After a fun day of playing with the kiddos, Taylor and Dad decided to go on a date to the Salt Lake Bees game. As you can see, Daddy held up his end of the deal by getting Taylor a big pink finger. They both had a ton of fun, and they Bee's won!! Taylor, of course, met a new friend, Miley (as in Miley Cyrus is what she told Taylor...too cute). They had a blast playing together while the "grown ups" watched the game. I am sure having a little friend there made the date all the more fun!!

Webkinz Mania

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Everyone knows that my kids are Webkinz-aholics. Seriously...they need to take the first step to admitting it. Well, Cole immediately took advantage of the fact that he knew so much about the whole thing....winning kinz cash, playing the games, and buying cool stuff for your pet. Nicole & Kyle got so addicted that Julie took all the kids and bought them a Lil' Kinz pet...Nicole & Taylor got the St. Bernard and Cole & Kyle got the cow. They have had so much fun playing the games....not to mention that now I have Julie addicted to playing a few. It has been a lot of fun, and a great thing for the kids to do together.

Random Pictures???

Adam thought it would be funny to "sneak" and take a bunch of random pictures with Julie's camera. The sad part is....most of them are pretty cool. Take a look!!

Silly String & Silly Friends

July 23, 2008

Today, after 7 hours of waiting in the airport, Julie, Nicole & Kyle came to visit us for a week from Phoenix. It was so good to see them....it has been just over a year!! Thanks you George & Sharon for giving them the buddy passes to fly here for such a bargain!!

Julie always has had a habit of bringing "fun stuff that I never buy" for the kids whenever they come. She even used to do it when they would come to our house in Phoenix. Well this time she brought a bunch of cans of silly string. The kids had so much fun spraying each other. They were covered!!! Good time it comes right out.....Thanks tons Jules!!

The battle has begun....

Nicole "reloading" with another can

Kyle almost squirted himself in the face....many times

RUN!!!!

"You better run, Cole!!"

Taylor "mastered" it in no time

Fun, fun.....silly string in the grass

Our July 24th Celebration

Fun, fun, fun in the Sun, sun, sun!!!!

Well, as I stated in my previous post, we headed to Adam's parents pool for swimming, bbq, and fireworks. The kids had a blast in the pool.....all 7 of them!! Are we nuts or what? Well, we invited Jen & her kiddos to come along for the day since the 24th was her holiday. I would say that for the most part the day was a success. We had great food, tons of fun, my two best friends, and fireworks. Thanks guys, for spending such a great day with us!!

Printing your blog???

I have had a few friends that have talked about having their blogs printed. I know there are companies that do this, and my question to you is......

Are you going to print your blog? If so how often would you do it??

Let me know what you think. What an easy way to scrapbook your everyday life for your kids!!

Happy 24th of July!!

HAPPY 24th of JULY

I just wanted to wish everyone a fun, safe PiOnEeR dAy!!! We are off to the pool to beat the heat for a BBQ and fun night of fireworks!! One of my very best and dearest friends is in town from Phoenix with her kids so I will definitely post pictures later!! Hugs to all!!

Our new obsession....

Well, this summer Cole has been doing chores for anyone who will pay him to earn Guitar Hero on Tour for the DS. The funny part of it is that he didn't even have a DS when he started saving for it but we promised him one when we got our stimulus rebate (Our part in helping to stimulate the economy...ha ha). Well, we kept up our end of the deal on Monday, and he worked so hard at Grandma & Grandpa's to come up with the remaining $13.00 he needed to get Guitar Hero. Man is that thing addicting...I have played it for 2 hours just today and Cole has maybe stopped playing for that 2 hours that I had it. I can see why people are so obsessed with it for the XBox 360 and Wii. I just refuse to buy another game system until one of ours hits the dust.

A little game of memory....

Here is a fun little game... Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! 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. On your mark...get set...blog your memories!!
