3rd Grade Miss Sutton

Olivia ready for her third day of school, but this was our first day taking her.

Mum's Birthday

Wednesday was my Mothers 59th Birthday.  I wanted to Thank all the family that was able to help surprise her at very short notice. 

Sacramento Trip

 Monday Morning I got the word that my Grandmother passed away.  Tuesday afternoon we headed to Sacramento.  Tim and Ruth let us stay with them at last minute notice.  We spent all the days at the pool.

Jon and Olivia doing pool jokes.

 My Father and me before the funeral.

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, I've only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt, and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be.
Because, I will remember you all, and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

Love you

Book

Olivia finished her summer reading program yesterday and we went to Kids Pottery Barn to turn it in.  Olivia got to pick out a book of her choice.  mum you would be proud, she picked a how to crotchet book.  YES.  She read it all the way home and three hours of practicing she can single chain with no problems.  She is looking forward to making things soon.

Wilson Visit day 3

 Today we drove to the top of pikes peak.  Olivia's First time as well to be that high.

 She was not too impressed.  I guess not everyone loves the view.

Everyone live with no problems.  We all had a great day.

Wilson Visit day 1

 Reunited with Step Dad after 2o plus years.  What a beautiful evening.

Big Dog Brag

 Olivia and I did a fun mud run today.  I did a 5k with two other friends.  Olivia did it with 4 other kids.She had a blast getting dirty.

 At the beginning she was such a competitor.

She loved this water slide

 I even took a break from pictures and joined in Olivia fun run

 She climbed to the very top of the rope and went all the way across this way.  Way to go!

 She never seemed scared of any of it.  It was really awesome to see her complete this.

 She was beat at the end.  She just wanted to rinse off.  We had a great day in the run doing two races.

Hair Duo

This is what Olivia thought would be cute on me.  I sported it for the rest of the night.

Friday fun

First off sorry for no pictures.

I totally forgot the camera today :)

On Friday's I baby sit my friends 9 month old son. 

I got off from work and picked him up.

I came home to enjoy the morning with my family.

Jon had a video shot at AMR in the morning.

When he got home we backed up and went to a water park in Denver.

It was a blast.  Yes people I went in the water.

It was 90 degrees today and I was hot.  The water felt good when you got in.

3 hours of water fun with the four of us.

After the sunny fun, we headed home.

Olivia and baby slept the whole way home.

They were both beat.

Everyone had a Great Colorado Sunny Day



I did it

I woke up this morning and said I was done. 

10 inchs off the back and 8 from the front.  My head is so much lighter.

Sleepover

Today consisted of swimming, BBQ, trampolines, pogo stick, tormenting dogs and cat, and TV time to relax.

 I do have to say the tramoline was a great purchase last summer.

 This summer was a lot easier then last summer.  Not a much screaming....Yea

Basement update

 I have not posted much about our basement.  Jon has done all the work him self.  Plumbing, framing, and what ever the inspectors wanted him to do.  He passes last week.  Jon was thrilled and bought all the sheet rock.  This is two days of work. 

 Hanging it from the ceiling is not fun at all.  If you want a great shoulder work out come join us. 

Day 4 at camp

 Today the made cards for the nursing home they visited.  They sang songs for 30 minutes, some songs were inter active with the residence.  Everyone had a fun time.

 Can you see Olivia?  She is front row, second kid from the right.  She is in a blue hat and blue camp shirt. 

Day Camp Day 2

 Olivia is in Rainbow Trail camp for a week.  She is having a blast.  Today they went miniature golfing.  She has been twice total, and after a few pointers on holding the club and how to stand she did great. 

 The picture above she was lining up the ball to cross the bridge.

She did so good, I am proud of her.

Olivia's 9th Birthday

 Olivia loved her butterfly cupcakes. She was trick with relighting candles.

 I love her expressions with her face.  This present is a bike basket.

The next two are tea cup pigs and four outfits too. 

 We had a great 9th birthday.  Earlier today we went to Denver Children's Museum.  We all did lost of crafts together, the birthday sign is what Jon made.  Olivia made a helicoper out of recycled material, two other pictures, a rocket and a parechutte.  Then we went to a resturaunt that had a water fall, shows every 15 minutes and a spooky cave.  What a great day in Denver trying two new things or a wonderful day. 

Baking

 Preparing for the big day tomorrow.  Pretzels, m&m's, licorice, and frosting.

 Then you get butterflies.
