Can You Believe It??

O.K. I have to admit that I am married to the luckiest man alive. The other day he went for a horse ride with his dad. On the ride they had to stop at different stations to get a card punched. (It was kind of like a card game) Whoever had the best hand at the end of the ride won a saddle. There were about 70-80 people on this ride and Jon won. When he called and told me I didn't believe him. I do have to say that he is pretty lucky. I've never win anything! It is a pretty nice saddle and he was pretty excited. Although, now he has two saddles to break in because he has another new one at home.

Logan and Maddi both celebrated their birthdays. All Logan wanted was baseball stuff, including a baseball cake. He is such a great kid and so patient and kind. I wish that all of us could be as easy going as he is. (Sometimes)
Maddison wanted to get her ears peirced. My mom and I took her shopping and she got them done. I forgot to take pictures, of course. She absolutly loves them and thinks that she is pretty big stuff now that she is 7. We also went on a birthday picnic at the park.

We took the kids to the temple open house and then took a little tour around temple square. The kids had a lot of fun and it was good to get out and do something. It seems like we are always too busy working and doing things around the house to go anywhere. We took them to the top of the Joseph Smith memorial building and ate. Brooke has never been on an elevator before and she absolutly hated it. She screamed and tried to run away when we went to go back down. It was such a fun day!
Let's see, what else have we been doing? Baseball and softball just ended this week. (YEA) Yes, we love playing but we are ready to actually have a summer. Logan earned his wolf in scouts and the kids are now in swimming lessons. Briggs has lived in the mud, Brooke has played dress-ups every day, Maddi lives on her bike and on the swing, and Logan is just hanging out and keeping his egg business going. The summer is flying by and before we know it we'll be back in school. There just is never enough time to get everything done and do the things we want to in the summer.
