A Morales Minute

Brian and Summer and their family came to stay with us the first week of July. I really enjoyed having their cute family stay with us. Jaime and I like visiting with Brian and Summer after the kids are put to bed. The cousins always have a grand ol' time playing and making messes with all the toys.  One morning we went to Jaime's school to set up the gym for a Nerf gun fight.  We didn't really do teams. A couple kids would pair off together but for the most part it was "Save yourself!" The moving trash bins worked great for moving around from base to base without getting hit.  Tyler and Ezra Thomas is so silly.  Can you believe Jaime was shooting me while I was getting a camera shot of him! After everything was cleaned up and Jaime was putting the last of the "supplies" back in the P.E. closet Brian and I kept the kids entertained by having races back and forth.  The wheel barrow race was the best. Olivia trie...

Jaime has a work conference in Palm Springs. I seriously, like really HATE it when he has to leave town for work things. I am grateful for my sweet kids though. It's still nice to have someone to talk to when he's gone.  After church I took Jaime to the airport then came back home to my babies. I was reading while laying down in bed and I was bombarded by these cuties.  I came out to the lost to see Aidan doing some reading too. My little bookworm. He and Lindsey both are. Now if I could only get Olivia and Tyler to really like reading.  Jaime left our warm temperatures in Pasco to sweltering HOT temps in Palm Springs. Ugh! Yeah that's his take on it too. And he's gone ALL week! I took the kids to the park one day this week. Anything to pass time as a single mom right? Just Liv and the boys this week! Libby and Lindsey Lindsey was been gone all week at girls' camp.  She had a really good time. Pasco 10th Ward Yo...

This year was my first Cub Scout Day Camp and Aidan's as well. I lot of work sure goes in to these three days. I'm glad it's over! In a good work paid off kind of way. ;) The theme "Wild Wild West" The water races They learned about real indian artifacts during the lunch time show.  Panning for gold. The gold they found they got to put in little glass jars with a cork so they could take their gold home. Leather working. A real black smith. He's called a ferrier. He makes horse shoes and puts them on horses. This was another lunchtime show. It was as interesting for all the adults as well as the boys.  "Worms in the mud" Aidan and Noah with their dirt pudding and worms. Aidan enjoyed making the pudding and crushing the cookies and putting the worms in however, he didn't want to eat it. hahah which I find funny because he loves Oreo cookies and chocolate pudding. It's the putting it togethe...

The first week of summer break and we started it off right. We went to the city pool with Christensen's. The floating obstacle course was fun for the kids to race others on. Olivia is racing a friend from school. A perk of going to the city pool is the kids find friends from school to play with as well! Liv going down the slide.  I didn't know my phone out for too long. The kids enjoyed the water slides and just swimming until the swim session ended. That's summer!!
