Free Bowling

I took the kids bowling this afternoon. I was going to take my camera but completely forgot. Romney didn't want to take turns he just wanted to keep bowling. I had to wrestle with him when it wasn't his turn. However, he was pretty cute jumping up and down when his ball hit the pins. When we got to our second game he was losing interest and tried several times to chase his ball down the lane. I caught him just as he started to run. Jacob and Paige had a good time. They all wanted to bumpers up so they scored pretty good. :)
Part way through the first game a gal from our old Richland ward came over. She was there watching her older kids bowl and asked if I thought Rebekah would let her take her. I eagerly passed her over. Rebekah didn't want her bottle but she didn't cry either. Pretty soon she fell asleep. It was so nice! Thank you Connie!
For those of you who don't know about the free bowling you can go to this link and see if there is a participating bowling alley in your area. Your kids can bowl two games for free everyday! They also have a family package. I think you can add up to 4 adults for around $24 and they can also all bowl two games "free" everyday throughout the summer. You do have to pay for shoes.

Scout Awards

Jacob recently was awarded his Webelos badge and Arrow of light.

Here he is with his awesome scout leader, Dan Warren.

I got little gold mother's pins that look like the awards he earned.

Here he is asking who is going to earn their Eagle scout award. Jacob forgot to raise his hand. :)
We have been so blessed to have such amazing, organized scout leaders that kept my son excited about scouts!

Fun times!

I can't remember when these pictures are from but I kept meaning to post them. Romney loves horses! My cousin has been training these horses and took us over to ride them. The kids loved it.



Jacob had a fun time but we discovered he is allergic to hay or something. The kids were climbing all over in some hay and throwing it around. Jacob's throat started getting itchy and burning and had some trouble breathing. He sneezes like crazy when the wind is blowing stuff around.

Two of my blessings

My two little one's were just being so cute and playing together so I just had to catch them on the camera.

Romney has such a wonderful giggle!

He's trying to tickle Rebekah in this one.

Playing Peek-a-boo

My smiley boy!

Binkey Baby

I love those beautiful big flowers on babies.

Finally an Update

We've had these pictures for awhile so I thought I should get around to posting them. As you can see they are well beyond the foundation. The plumbing is in and I met with the electrician today. The only thing we personally have left to do is pick out exterior paint colors. Yay! It has all been a bit more stressful than I had anticipated. There have been some major mistakes made but they have been very gracious about fixing them. A missing window, doorways in the wrong spots, some interior stuff completely miscommunicated, etc. We're still working on getting one last thing fixed. I just can't figure out why businesses don't return my calls. If I call first thing in the morning I expect a call before the end of the day. I certainly shouldn't have to call three days in a row or twice a day for two days. The electrical and plumbing supply company, KIE, has been terrible about this. Not good business. We of course expressed our displeasure to Olin Homes about them. Anyhow, here are the pictures!

So Fast!

Here is the completed foundation. We took this picture on June 1st.

Our family in front of our foundation.

Two days later here is the bottom floor framed and with exterior walls up. That went fast!

Moving Along

Our dirt has been dug up, moved around and piled. Ooh, it's so exciting. Next comes the foundation! I think our soon to be neighbors think we are a little strange stopping by every week taking pictures. :)
