Ok, so let me start by saying I did the unthinkable... I forgot my camera! I ALWAYS take my camera and I was rushing out the door and forgot it. My mom and sister in law took pictures for me at Lagoon, but I don't know if I will ever get them posted on my blog. So here goes a post with no pictures....
Rory is away to the POST training academy for 10 weeks, so last week I decided to pack myself and the kids up and head to Salt Lake to stay with my grandma (my grandpa was in Colorado). Friday we met my friend Heather and her 2 boys at the park and then went school clothes shopping. I think I had more fun than my kids. I bought Kadee's dance clothes and had a blast picking them out. I really hope she likes dance, because her mama is going to be sad if she doesn't! We came home from shopping and she put her dance clothes on and wouldn't take them off, she even wore them to dinner at the Olive Garden. Connor is such a shrimp. I bought him size 5 clothes and they are so big on him. He was pumped because he found Transformers boxers, thats right folks, those things are hard to come by. He has Transformers underwear, but he LOVES boxers and we have never been able to find boxers with animation on them, it was his lucky day.
Friday we took the kids to G-Force and then went back to grandma's to play. The kids were playing outside and we heard Kadee screaming bloody murder. Rory ran out there to see what was wrong and their was a snail on the porch. I guess my kids have never seen snails before. Once Rory picked it up and showed Kadee what it was they had a hay day. They collected snails and put them in a bucket on the back porch. Every 5 minutes or so Connor had to go "check" on his snails. Kadee said she wanted to find a stick to poke them. Silly kids!
Saturday we met my family at Lagoon. For our birthdays this year my mom and step dad bought all of us Lagoon tickets and dinner at Chili's (yum!). "Galoon" as Kadee calls it, was so much fun. The kids loved the rides and I got to ride the Rocket! It was so great to be together as a family and I realized that we don't do stuff together nearly enough. I know people get busy with their own lives, but it so nice to be around family. Connor's favorite ride was the egg drop and Kadee's favorite ride was the "crashing in things" (bumper cars). She was so funny on those things. The lady kept telling the kids to turn their wheels, so Kadee just went in circles for the first few minutes till she got the hang of it. That night after dinner we stayed in a hotel, which my kids always look forward to. They were able to go swimming and play in the pool for awhile.
We finally made it home and I am missing my hubby! It is so hard to be here by myself and to be the mom and dad to the kids. I am so grateful we have one week down and only nine more to go!

What a fun summer you are having!! It is so fun to go school clothes shopping and school supply shopping!! I still shop for school supplies!
I hope Connor doesn't show everyone his new boxers at school :)!!
Now big question.....? Are you ready for school to start? :(
I hate to tell you this babe but 9 weeks is a REALLY LONG TIME!!!! I feel for ya...I feel like a single parent most of the time and it's not always fun. The having mac and cheese for dinner part is great but everything else is way hard! I will keep you company so you don't go insane with no adult interaction. :) Galoon is so fun and I am glad you got to spend the weekend with family and your hubby! I wish you would send Connor to kindergarten with Kella. It is going to suck having them in different grades their whole lives! But I love Kadee and the fact that everything is worthy of a bloody murder scream. She gives me a heart attack all the time with that cry! ;)
Sounds like tons of fun!
Which email address do you use? I have some really cute black and pink polka dot fabric and enough of it to make a Mom and Me set. I'll email you a picture of it if you are interested.
Sounds busy, but fun. My son called it "ragoon" and always asks when we are going whenever we pass it.
So fun! We just went to Lagoon on Monday. We flew in to SLC on Saturday, and then met my family at Lagoon. My little boy loved it too.
Sarah I promise to post pictures but I am afraid I did not take that many. you can steal them right off my blog when I do. My kids had a blast, your right we do not get together nearly enough I think we should do something every summmer. Maybe even a family dinner every month. As for the weeks awayI can totally feel for you. I had a bran new babay the first time Jerod went and a sick father who died 2 weeks after he came home. The 2nd time I was huge pregnantand coaching high school softball and dealing with that Tramp that was after hih and had ky 2 weeks after he came home again. So it could be worse just hang in there. Still need to plan the sleep over call me...
Holly crap, nine weeks. I can't even imagine. Good job on taking the kids out by yourself and having fun. I love the snail thing. Kinsey does that with ants.
I had no idea Rory was going to be gone at all! You should have said something to me at the park today! Great to see you!
Tell Rory that when he gets home you deserve to go somewhere really great...like Hawaii.
10 weeks wow! Sounds like spending time with family and Lagoon was fun! That's so cute that she calls it galoon and crashing into things!
Yeah being with out a hubby is hard...I can totally relate. But Lagoon is a blast. I was not sure how fun it was going to be but going with kids was really fun. hang in there girl!!!
Sarah I only have one picture that is not ofmy kids but your mom said she was getting them developed today. Hit her up...See you Saturday.
Oh my goodness, that is a long time. Too bad our kids are in school now or we could go do something fun. When does your preschool start? Haha...Max just pointed at Connors picture on the sidebar and said, "I want go to his house. You come with me?" Next time we are in Price I think we will have to make a trip over to visit you. Now Max is concerned about Connors owie on his nose.
