1. Our enclosed patio is not 30 degrees colder than the rest of the house, so it is usable in the summer. We recently converted this little room into the "Playroom." NO MORE TOYS IN THE LIVING ROOM!!!! Hooray! Kaylin and Zachary love it. Kaylin loves to go out and paint and color at her little table. We bought a rug to put in there too so that it will be a little homier.
2. Going to Lake Tahoe with Friends. Saturday we went with our friends the Iversons to Lake Tahoe, Sand Harbour. It was beautiful. It's the first time I've ever been up at the Lake and I loved it. Zachary chilled in the sand and loved sticking his hand in it and throwing it around. Kaylin played in the freezing water and floated on an alligator raft. All in all it was a fun day except for the fact that Phil's got really sunburned because he didn't think he NEEDED sunscreen. Silly daddy! I told him he couldn't whine to me and that I wouldn't rub aloevera on him. Maybe next time he'll put on sunscreen at the beginning of the day instead of the end.
3. Getting visits from friends. My friend Shirley stopped in on the way to Utah a couple of weeks ago with her 6 kids. We played in the pool, had dinner and watched a movie. They spent the night and then headed to Utah in the morning. We had a blast. On the way back from their trip they stopped in too so that Shirley could take a little siesta and the kids could get out of the car. We had a lot of fun and Kaylin loved having friends over.
4. Getting visits from family. My in-laws came to visit this weekend for Zachary's first birthday (on Tuesday). We had a blast going to the Lodge Buffet and hanging out at night. I think we wore them out because after church this is what our house looked like:
5. ZACHARY'S 1st BIRTHDAY! His birthday is on the 29th, but we celebrated with family this weekend and we'll have a little party in two weeks with friends. I have to say I'm really excited about how his cake turned out.
6. Going to the water park. We got season passes to the local water park and we are loving it. Phil gets off work at 3 pm so we usually go after that. There isn't a big crowd that late in the afternoon. They have a really cool little area for kids with slides and waterfalls. Kaylin loves it.
7. Hanging out by the pool. I think that is pretty self-explanatory. Pool+Sun=Fun!
8. Chillin' with members of our ward. We love all the fun couples we get to hang out with. There are just so many cool people and we have had a blast getting to know everyone from the ward.
9. Gardening. We are finally starting to get some produce from our garden. I haven't tasted any yet, but I'm sure they will be great. I'm salivating just thinking about all that yummy squash and zucchini.
10. Hanging out with our beautiful family. I love my kids and husband and thank the Lord everyday for them. They are really a joy in my life. I'm starting to appreciate the whole "having joy in your posterity." I love being a mom and learning and growing from the whole experience.
