***************************

Another school year has begun and boy do I feel old. It makes me sad, I just can't believe how FAST time is just flying by. Cambria is starting her Senior year, Cecilee is a sophomore, Trevor is in the 8th grade and Sydnee is in the 5th grade. I so remember the first time I took Cambria to kindergarden and I felt like a grown up. Then I signed up for PTA and attended my first meeting and I felt like my mom. I LOVE my life, I wouldn't change anything about it, I am trying to enjoy EVERY moment before all of my kids leave my home.

I can't figure it out!!!!

I thought I knew what I was doing and can't figure it out. I clicked on the button to only allow those I choose and typed in all the email addresses and it kept saying that I can only have 1 @ in each email address. I do only have 1!!!! I am tooooo tired to figure it out some more. I tried to beat my deadline, but I will go PRIVATe as soon as I can!!!!

Private Tomorrow!!!

I really am doing it and have figured it all out. I wrote in my post that I would pull the plug on Monday, so I will wait till Monday. I have recorded all of the emails that were left in my comments. If I don't have yours, please leave it. I am pretty excited about this. It's beginning to freak me out at what this world is coming to. It's about time I jumped on the bandwagon and protect my family. I love keeping up on everyone else's blog.

*********************

Last night was the night that I've been planning for for the last few months!!! We look forward to our patient appreciation pool party, where we can let down our hair and have a great time with our patients. We had around 900 patients come. We had 175 pizzas, over 1,000 ice cream bars, lots of drinks, a wheel with prizes on it for our patients to spin, a hula hoop contest, a free throw contest, a back pack (filled with school supplies) drawing, swimming, rock climbing wall and tons of FUN!!!!! We had a blast!!! We have a great team of employees that come with a great attitude and help where ever I needed them. I love my office and everyone that I work with.

I REALLY AM Going PRIVATE!!!!

I read an article that some idiot took a picture of a baby from someone's blog and put the baby up for adotion on craigslist. Not that anything would really happen, but still, he took it from a family blog. (I dare someone to put my kids up for adoption.) I guess we will see alot more going private now. So if you are one that is interested in keeping up with our family, please leave your name and email address. Thanks for participating. I will do this in a week, next Monday, August 11th.

Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime?

Oh What Do you do in the summertime?

When all the world is HOT!!!!

Do you jump in the POOL to keep yourself COOL

OR hangout with friends or NOT?

Who needs HAIR?

Trevor shaved his hair the other night and his friend, Chandler wanted his hair like that too. So as Trevor was shaving his hair, the guard came off and was right to the blade. OOpps!!! Trevor felt so bad that it looked like he was going to cry, because he felt so bad. So Trevor told Chandler that he would shave his head also, so that he wouldn't feel bad. (I was so proud of him that he would come up with that all on his own.) Good thing hair grows back and IT's SUMMER.

Happy Birthday Cambria!!!

We made a yummy triple chocolate cake with white fluffy frosting topped with fresh strawberries.
Cambria and her friend that she has grown up with, Morgan, share the same birthday.

Grandma AhQuin bought Cambria's birthday cake.

Cambria and Grandpa AhQuin cuddle for a picture.

Cambria and Grandma AhQuin

My oldest is now 17 and I can't believe how time has just flown by. I feel very blessed to be her mother. She has ALWAYS been such a great example to me and her father as well as her siblings. She amazes me at how involved and busy she likes to stay. She is on the seminary council, a cheerleader, works 2 jobs and keeps a 4.0 GPA. I love the friendship that I share with her. I can't believe that she will be graduating in one year and then off to college.

*********************

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend cheer camp with my daughter since it is her Senior year. The girls went to Pepperdine University in Malibu California. We had a blast, as moms. The girls worked from 8:00 to 8:00 cheering, stunting, dancing and learning. They worked so hard and if you have been to the campus, you know that there is ALOT of stairs and a very large campus. They walked and climbed lots of stairs. At the end of camp there was an award ceremony and our squad received 3 first place trophys and the spirit stick. They also received the most sought after award, "The Leadership" Award. That was voted on by all of the squads. It was so much fun for all of the girls. There were a few girls that had never seen the ocean, been to the beach or to California. It was fun to see their faces. I can't believe my daughter is a senior. They had a senior ceremony at the end of the awards ceremony and that totally took all of the moms by surprise. We all just got teary eyed. Life seems to be going toooo fast. I am taking every opportunity to make more memories for me to hang on to.

We went to Glendale, Utah for the 4th. Bryan's parents have some property there and everyone of Bryan's brother's and sister were there with their families. They all camped and ate around a campfire. Went shooting, riding on the quads/mule & golfcart. They had so much fun with all of their cousins and grandma and grandpa.
