Book Crazy!!


This weekend I asked the boys if they had any homework, Bennett said he had to decorate his journal. I thought we could go get some stickers and do the usual, but Ben had other ideas. He wanted his book to look like the Harry Potter book that tries to attack Harry, this is what we came up with:

Where has the summer gone?
I can't believe I've gone a whole summer without a post. Here are our highlights:

June- We waited for the sun to make it's appearance again, it had such a great start but then fizzled out. I planted flowers and a garden and weeded, and weeded and weeded. They boys played on their bikes and were really into Legos. Bennett turned 10 and Jared went to his first cub scout camp.

July- We had the Watson family reunion over the 4th of July. My entire family caravaned up to Rexburg. (Even Lara and her family from Texas) It's the first time we have all been together in two years. It was a little crowded in my house (23 people) but really fun. We then left to go stay by Yellowstone Park at a place on the Madison River. It was a really fun weekend. (I'll post pictures as soon as I get them) I took the boys to Utah for a few days where it was nice to be back home and hang out with friends and family. Isaac went to his first Boy Scout Camp and had fun learning new songs and passing off 6 merit badges.


August- We had a new addition to our family, our exchange student Pompe from Spain. Thank goodness he is easy going and can handle the noise level. We went to Lagoon and saw Jackson's family. We also went to the Busby's pond to play. We also had our annual boy's fishing trip, where Pappa and grandma spoiled the kids rotten, by taking them fishing and to the local amusement park, where they rode go carts, played minature golf, climbed the climbing wall and so on.

It was really a great summer of making memories and enjoying our time here in Rexburg. The project continues to move forward and is amazing to watch as it gets closer and closer to being finished.

Goodbye Summer! I can't wait to put my Halloween stuff up!
