Summer Catch up 2











So our summer began with a family camping trip. It was every thing that camping should be. Food, fire, dirt, water, and just plain fun! Asa enjoyed time with the boys, playing star wars and cards and checkers. When it came time to sleep, he and his buddies decided that wasn't necessary. They were up until 3 or 4 in the morning chatting. Of course this was not done without the frequent reminders, "Boys, be quiet and go to sleep!!!" from all three mothers. Of course children do learn from example. The dads went night fishing that night and were out on the lake until after 4. Needless to say, everyone was very tired the next day, and quite grumpy. But it was worth the fun and the laughs - including the streak attempt from the ever entertaining Leah!

Summer Catch up



Okay, so you know it is really bad when your child points out 4 1/2 months later that he is no longer 8. So I have committed to myself to catch up on our summer doings. Starting with Asa'a birthday. Yes, he had one and is no longer 8, he is now 9!!! He is halfway through his time at home - a realization that I did not enjoy.

He was easily satisfied with legos and PS2 games - Lego Star Wars 2 and Backyard Baseball.
Here are his birthday questions....
1. What do you want to be when you grow up? A space engineer
2. Your favorite scripture story? Nephi getting the Golden Plates
3. Favorite animal? Dog
4. If you could live anywhere, where would you live? Tampa, FL w/ his Papa
5. Favorite treat? Reeses Peanut Butter Cup
