Finally some neighborhood friends.

        The kids have been doing good playing together since we moved but I was a little worried about the lack of neighbor friends.  We came from a neighborhood where the neighbor kids lived at our house.  Just like I thought, once school started the kids were able to meet other kids in the neighborhood.  It was just to hot to hang out outside and way to easy to stay inside where it was cool.  Also most of them were on vacations till just before school started.  And guess what, they like scooters and bikes.  We have even introduced them to mine craft.  Kade even tried to teach them to ride a rip stick.  That was quite entertaining.  Kade obviously has excellent "Moves" skills because those kids could NOT get it.  He credits that to why he did so good in football, because of his excelent "Moves".  (He's probably right.)  

Starting School

We are starting a new school year in a new city.  Kade is in 8th grade.  Mason is in 6th grade.  They are going to Thurman White Middle School.  Porter is in 4th grade at Hariett Treem Elementary School.  They are pretty excited.  We had checked out the schools and they seemed good.  Mason has a top locker and Kade has a bottom locker.  This will be Mason's first year having more than one class.  We live close enough to school that they can walk or ride their bike.  They are excited to be able to do that.

I can make one if those.

I can make one of those, Mason said after finding out the double headphone jack was with dad at his shop.  We have a mission. Kade and him dug out old cellphones for the female  plugs  and old earphones for the wires and the male plug and proceeded with the process.  Those little wires were about the death of Mason.  He couldn't find anything small enough to use as wire nuts.  So that was about 7:30 at night and if you know Mason he likes to finish a project, they were up later than I liked when I finally threatened them enough they stopped and went to bed.   The next day he did manage to get it.  Amazing WHAT those two kids can accomplish, and even together. Wow!  All so they could watch Netflix together.  Good boys.

Togetherness it brings out my ....

Bowling seemed like a fun time so off we went to meet some friends at the bowling alley. The players could choose whether to have bumpers on their turn it not.  Some choose to others did not, some should have. So after the realization that the ones with the bumpers were kicking butt, but to full of stubbornness of and the embarrassment which their own brains dished out, the second game was that if fire and ice.  Flames of anger for how well the others were doing, and ice from the embarrassment of the flames.  Needless to say we had a new lesson today.

     The adults had a good time.  I know that can still bowl, although I will take my wrist gaurd next time.  Thanks Dee and boys.

Rec Center

We visited the rec center that is just up the road.  It was a fun pool it has two slides. The kids are in heaven.  Its cheaper than the pools in St. George, which mom likes.
     We had some friends with us, Ronan and Drake.  They spent the day with us.  It was lots of fun. 

Lazy Sunday

Church is in the morning leaving time for a marvelous nap for whoever wants one, that would be mom. Mason is playing on the computer, Porter and Kade playing the Xbox.

Airplanes

The airplanes fly right over our house, so we took a trip to watch them land.  We watched some big planes land. Mason has now changed his career path from pro motorcycle rider to pilot. 

Changing it up

    Ben started a new adventure which we were all excited about.  While Ben worked in Henderson, we readied the house to rent out, and pack up the house.  After looking for homes to rent Heavenly Father finally helped us find the right one for us.  I went and got the truck and Kristy came over and helped me start loading it.  Ryan, Mom, Dad, Sheen, Jessica, Chauncey,  and their kids came and helped us clear out the house.

The biggest truck the had.

 Mason was the stacker.  We would hand things up to him and he would pack it tight.  

Gatorade tooth

We were in the car.  Porter took a drink of his Gatorade right when I went over a bump and his loose tooth got nocked out.  We couldn't find it in the car.  Then Porter looked in his Gatorade and there it was.  Groos, but funny

July 4 2012

We had Chauncey and Alex's family over for the day for  a B-B-Q and then everyone came over to watch the fireworks.  Playing Water Balloon 500 was a fun way to cool off.
