Ryan's a clown!

Ryan and Chase dressed up to be the clowns for the demolition derby


The girls, Chases girlfriend Jen and I went to go and watch the HOT clowns and the cars crash into each other and then start on fire! It was great fun!
Chase even let me do his clown makeup! I thought he looked a Indian... I may have gone a little wild with the red paint....
There was a half time for the demolition where everyone got out on the muddy arena and had a dance competition. It was a lot of fun to go down and dance with the girls and watch everyone else. Brytlee went out on one of the dance offs and started to shake her stuff and was a huge hit. The crowd was the judge and would cheer the loudest for the winners. It came down to this boy in a white shirt and Brytlee.....I still think that everyone cheered the loudest for her but they gave first place to the boy....(everyone else I talked to also thought that she had the loudest cheers)



Our panels walls finally arrived!!!! Now I hope that we can stop calling our new house a hole and get some walls up!!!

We had plenty of time before the panels were going to show up so Ryan did all the footings himself. (with a lot of help from Chase and Denton)
I think our footings will be the most perfect footings there has ever been. Ryan is such a perfectionist, and has made sure that everything was all the same, they are all level, and the same height all the way around and just perfect! I can't wait to see the next step in the building process and I am excited to see how fast the Thermasteel walls go up. (that is the name of the panels we are using)

Alexis

Alexis told Ryan and I tonight that she is going to have 21 kids. So Ryan asked her what she was going to name them all? She said she would know when she had them. Then she remembered she liked, "Pumpkin, Sweet heart and Cutie Pie" all very good names. So then Ryan asked her what she was going to name her first boy and without any hesitation she said, "Bob". I had to right it down because it was so cute, and so we could remind her when the time comes.

More fun

We went swimming yesterday with the girls friends to our local swimming pool and the girls all had a blast!
We went about 11:00 and stayed until after 3:00. They were all very tired by the end and Brytlee was very ready for a nap.

They all climbed the stairs to the slide about 100 times. Brytlee and I only made it about 20 or so before my legs didn't want to go up any more.




Brytlee with a big mouth full of ham and saying cheese at the same time.
They all loved jumping off of the diving board and doing little tricks each time. Brytlee almost jumped off it but then chickened out right as she was trying to jump.... it was funny.



Brytlee is such a good little bike rider. We have had a problem with her bikes getting ran over by the car.... so her little bike had to be put away, and the next size up was given to her and she can ride it just fine. (She likes to put her bike as close to the tires as she can and then when you back up it gets ran over by the back tire... we have had this happen to her trike, and now two bikes).
Frogs.... at our house we are building there are frogs all over the place. The girls love to have pets so this is our new pet for the next couple of days....



Pretty girl!!!!!




my girls love to put on makeup.

Meteor Shower

All last week there was a Meteor shower going on each night. So one of the nights that we were at my Parents house my dad put out a blanket and pillows on the ground outside so we could all go out and watched the sky. We went out on a great night and saw some really big meteors. Alexis LOVED it and wanted to stay up all night watching them. On some of the bigger ones she would get a little nervous that they were going to hit the earth and she would tell me "that made my stomach hurt".
I have never seen a meteor shower before and it was such a cool experience. We saw a ton of them, and it was just like watching fireworks. With each one that we all saw everyone would EWWWWW and AHHHHHH over them.

Trip to Idaho Falls

We went to Idaho Falls for a week of playing, swimming, and seeing family! We are going to be starting school soon, so before we are tied down to home we wanted to go and stay for a while.
The girls wanted to go swimming every day of course.

Alexis was diving and doing front flips into the pool. She has become a very good swimmer. Elizabeth has gotten a lot better also. She took off the life jacket and then wouldn't put it back on the whole time. I was a little nervous but she got better and better each day.

One of my new favorite places to eat in Rigby is Gator Jacks. They have the best sandwiches ever! We went out to eat with my parents and with all the great backgrounds the girls wanted to make it into a photo shoot.










Alexis had to have me take a picture of her making a wish into the well..... very cute!


They all had to show me that the gator was eating their hands.

We had such a great time while we were with my family, and the day's went way to fast! I didn't get to do all that I wanted to do and so we may have to make another trip back before school starts. We did a lot of shopping at Albertsons, and got some more great deals!!! One of the best deals was the All small and mighty. With coupons and the kick back I got10 of them for free. I had to by a pack of gum to pay for my taxes. (and my gum was more expensive than 10 bottles of the All)
I had to get home on on Thursday because we were doing a yard sale on Saturday so I had a lot to get ready. We also had a birthday party for Ryan's dad Denton on Friday, and I had to color and cut a couple of peoples hair, and lots of other things that I needed to get done.
The Yard sale turned out alright, (didn't make as much as we did in the past).... we did it with Julie, Haley, Alecia, Judy, and my friend Stephanie. It was fun to have a big group, and just hang out.
