Summer Fun Has Come To An End

The summer has flown by!! And the last month has been jammed packed! We had 3 birthdays, a baptism, tons of family come visit, camping trips, a yard sale, and let's not forget the newest addition to our family--my new fridge!!!

Eliza was baptized on the 15th of August. So, Seth and I are officially old now. We had a lot of family come out, and we enjoyed seeing them sooooo much!! After the baptism we went to Hawaii--well sort of... But the kids didn't seem to mind it wasn't the real thing. It was a very special day for our family.





Len turned 6 this month too. We had a rockin' party with a whole lot of kids! He had so much fun! It was mad chaos--just Len's style! First we had a dragon egg hunt, then they hatched their eggs by warming them up in their armpits (Seth's idea.) Inside was the name of a dragon, and they each drew a picture of what their dragon looked like. Everyone also got a dinasaur off of Len's cake. Very cheap party, and a whole lot of fun!




And Seth turned 31! We went on our first just us and kids camping trip. And we survived!!! (Actually it was so much fun! We will definitely go again!) We roasted hotdogs for dinner, then had strawberries and whipped cream over Twinkies for Seth's cake. The next day we fished and swam in the lake. The kids and I got Seth a foot water bath--one of our new favorite Friday night past times--foot massages. (Thanks to Brenda for hooking us =)








And Eliza turned 8! We let her have a few girls over to spend the night.


Before family came I had a yard sale with my friend too. It was kinda fun--and I made $250, not bad!


More summer fun--

What a fun month! I can't believe summer is over already either. It used to take forever to end and now it goes by way too fast.
We need to figure out a way to do some sort of Campus Villa reunion one of these years. IT would be so fun to see you guys.
