Shocker!!!!

Im actually updating:) Well we are one week into summer and I sure signed us up for PLENTY of activities. I guess i had a little panic attack last month at the thought of being home with 3 kids to entertain. We are mucho busy in june. But next month we can be truly lazy. First of all Owen is POTTY TRAINED!!!!! Woohoo.He is so awesome. Not one pull up for this kid and he wakes up dry every day for the last 2 weeks:)Dont get me wrong the first week was hell! But now its smooth sailing.Phew! done with that. now we can have fun. O and O are doing swim lessons and are doing so much better so now we can just swim every day at christinas. Caden is doing basketball camp and olivia starts a singing workshop for 2 weeks and has a little recital. Im excited for her to do that she will love it because she wants to be a singer when she grows up.haha Mark is playing softball with some guys from church so we go watch him on thursdays and I still have mutual on wednesdays so our nights are busy as well. I was thinking about making a trip up to utah to visit my sister and for a reunion but now I think we need to save money because we want to go to europe next year. Oh thats more news to share, my parents are going on ANOTHER mission:( They are going back to the Madrid temple so we want to go this time and do the whole europe thing.Thats an exciting trip but we all thought they were done so I am mad. Some day i will get over it....maybe. I will post some fun pictures soon,

This last weekend we went to Catalina island with some friends. Mark went scuba diving and I shopped and laid out. It was alot of fun!

Twilight movie night

I had a few ladies over to watch the movie and we had fun stuffing our faces with popcorn and candy. The countdown is on until november! I just know New Moon will be better than the first. (cross my fingers)

Olivia turns 5

My little princess is 5! Im so lucky to have this little stinker. She is pretty emotional but she is also great at making me smile. I think she is way too much like me:) so I am definitely in for it,I keep warning myself. But for now I will enjoy the ups and downs and cherish her little smile. Also I love her because she likes to sleep in until 10:00 if I let her.It does make the morning hussel and bussel a little less. If we have another baby someday she will be the best helper she loves taking care of little babies. She also loves playing with older girls like her cousins and neighbor, she can keep up with them no problem. Everyday she asks me how old she has to be to have a boyfriend and to get married. I try to push the whole college thing but she aint havin it!!phew girls are tough! But worth it.
