Our week in review...

It was a good week.

Monday we started off by making a 

lemonade cake.

Sooo delish.

Kennedy loves baking and we love

having a yummy FHE treat

each Monday night.

 Conner was prepared to help, but

got bored pretty quick.

So he got out his bow and arrows and I

drew him a bullseye on the window

with a sharpie.

It kept him busy and yes,

the bullseye washed off with window cleaner.

 Here is little miss cook and

her finished product.

She did a fabulous job!

 Tuesday was a great day.

I turned 29 for the eighth time and it

never felt better. wink, wink.

My idea of a perfect birthday is taking the kids

somewhere that they are going to have a blast

for a few hours and I just sit and relax and read.

We went to the city pool and my birthday was a success.

 Between the diving boards and the hydrotube 

they were having a great time.

 After sitting for about an hour, I looked up

and noticed my view.

I love to see the temple!

It is such a beautiful structure,

inside and out.

Wednesday morning I went rollerblading with my 

friend.  We went 5 fabulous miles. 

Talking and laughing the whole way!

We turned the corner and there was a hot air balloon.

Close enough that we cold hear the gas.

It was pretty cool.

However, this was not cool.

I ended up with some dreadful blisters on both feet.

They still sting as I am typing this. boo.

Wednesday brings us to craft day.

Kennedy had fun making her a masquerade mask.

She is so cute. love that girl.

We planned to make bird feeders.

Some pinecone/peanut butter/birdseed ones and

another type using oranges and birdseed.

The kids really liked it and now we can 

sit on the couch in the family room and

watch the cute birds eat.

Thursday we went for a picnic

and we talked about ways we can serve others.

i sure love these kiddos.

as they played, i read my book.

another perfect day.

Friday we had a ton of fun.

We met our friends at Cafe Rio and had a wonderful

lunch.  I was able to catch up with a sweet friend who recently

moved back from North Carolina.  

After lunch we headed to my other sweet friend's 

in-law's house to go swimming.

It was a blast!

Kennedy about fainted when I told her I would jump in with her.

I'm usually just a patio watcher...

Rob and the kiddos got me these bright, fancy

shoes for my birthday.  

Can't wait to run in them once my blisters heal!

When Conner goes to karate,

Kennedy and I walk 4 blocks to the library.

We got back a little early and this

is where I found Kennedy.

She truly is a bookworm!

She loves reading.

Hmmmm...she's like her mom :)

I am so grateful for my life.

for my hubby.

for my kids.

My life is a good life.

I may not have everything I want,

but I have everything I need.

I am truly blessed.

Love, 

Lindsey
