Sammantha had her first day of school on monday this week and absolutely LOVES it of course. She walks with this boy across the street that is named sam as well:) they are so cute..we have adapted well with our new ward and situation. There is so much room at my sisters house, I couldnt have asked for a better place to live while matt goes to school.

WOW! I finally can put some pics on here. (thanks for the patience grandma!)

Parker had his birthday July 17th I got mostly video but here are a few pictures. Parker had to go to the doctor to get his blood drawn to determine if he was a carrier for strep(which it came back that he is!!) anyway they tried to get his blood 3 different times plus digging around and failed!! i was not happy and of course he wasnt either so i told the girl no more tries and took the kids swimming to Oqurrah park fitness center and we had a BLAST! We swam for about 1 1/2 hours before we got hungry so we got out of the pool and got a pretzel to eat. Parker was about half way through his when he said he did not feel good, and then he puked! poor kid he got heat stroke kinda bad so he was done for the day. ....He wanted an ALL chocolate cake, but i told him i needed at least some vanilla frosting which he agreed:) we had a pretty fun day! (I ended up taking him to the hospital on monday to get his blood drawn and of course they got it with the first try!)

Matthews bday was the next day, he turned the BIG 30 so he wanted to go swimming, have a lunch at his sisters and then go camping with his family...it was so much fun! We drove around for a while looking for a spot but finally got one at about 7 i think it was...we ate lots of smores and learned how to speak some weird Japanese language that my bro in law made up with his brothers, it was fun!
