Andy Bizarro

Fax and I went to Cafe Rio in Draper on Saturday night. (We were on our way home from a wedding reception.) Anyway, as we were waiting in line Fax says, "Look at that guy in line behind us, he is totally Andy Bizarro." Sure enough it was. Anyway, he ended up sitting at the table next to us so Fax held is camera phone up to his ear like he was talking to someone and I looked at the screen until Andy Bizarro was in view. Then Fax took his picture. I know it's lopsided, but if you tip your head to the left you will see just how much they look alike. Love you Andy!! We would have rather had you and Christy at dinner with us than your bizarre look-alike. (Click on the picture to get an up-close look.)

Happy Father's Day!

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day. We did. This is a picture of Fax and Summer asleep on the couch Saturday afternoon. Fax had just gotten back from work, and we had just gotten home from the pool. They look pretty comfy, huh?

Day at the Pool!

Tomorrow we're going to the Lehi pool. Kessa is even coming with us and the kids are very excited. Anyway, Mom wouldn't go because she said she doesn't want to get into her swimsuit. She also said that I would probably take a picture of her in her swimsuit at the pool and put it on my blog. Now I ask you.....does she have anything to be self conscious about? I think she looks fabulous. We'll miss you at the pool Mom!!! LOVE YOU!! (I hope you'll still speak to me after posting this! Pretty funny though, huh?)

Happy 9th Birthday Brook!!!

On June 6th, Brook turned 9 years old. That first year of life seems to take so long. And then after that time just flies. I think it's because you actually sleep through the night after that. Anyway, it got me thinking that 9 years from now Brook will be getting ready to start college. That's crazy. It all happens so fast. So Fax and I went out to lunch with Brook on her birthday, and on Saturday we had a big family party. There were a lot of pictures, so I decided to combine them into another slide show. I hope your not sick of my crazy blogging marathon.

First Week of Summer Vacation

Well, our first week of summer vacation was not the best. Jake and Summer had the croup and a fever until Thursday. We were up all hours of the night giving Jake his inhaler, ice water, and anything else to help him breathe easier and stop his barking cough. Here are some pictures of the sickies asleep. (Thank goodness for Advil and steroids.)

Jake, asleep in my bed. Why do kids always sleep better in Mom and Dad's bed?Summer always falls asleep on the couch when she's sick.

Dance Festival

May 28th was our school's dance festival. Brook and Jake were very excited about it. Jake danced to, "The Boot Scootin' Boogy" and Brook danced to, "When the Sun Goes Down." I think they had a lot of fun. And fortunately the weather cooperated too. Here are some photos:


I had a better vantage point to take pictures of Jake. He was right in the front. (And he really got into it.) I don't have as many good pictures of Brook because she was behind other kids.

Brook and her friend, Emily.

First Nice Day of 2008!!

It seems like winter lasted way too long this year. As a mom I follow the rule that I grew up with: It has to be at least in the 70s to wear shorts, and at least in the 80s to play outside in the water. On May 17th it finally got into the 80s. We don't have a pool yet this year, so I turned on a very old sprinkler and the kids seemed to have a great time. Here are some pics:
