Let's Take a Walk...

Down memory Lane. I hope you will play along. Here are the directions:


1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

Sizzlin' Summer

I can not believe that Summer is almost over. These last 2 months have flown by!
Chris helped some neighbors move into their home and now has a herniated disk in his back. He is walking like a little china man. They have him going to physical therapy to see if it will help and if not then they will do surgery. He has some pretty powerful drugs and they make him a bit loopy at times.
Marie has almost all of her range of motion back in her knee. She still has trouble when there is weight or pressure on it, but everyone, including her are very pleased with how fast the recovery time has been. She is doing summer clinics at the Studio so that has helped with recovery as well.
Kaili can not wait for school to start. She says she is bored out of her mind. And since dance is not in session, she has read the entire Twilight Series AGAIN along with Marie and can not wait until the next book comes out in a couple of days. (which of course has been pre-ordered tee-hee)
Dallin has made a couple of new friends and spends most of his time at the canal with them. They have tried to catch fish, tried to catch some birds, and Mom can only imagine what ever else. At least he hasn't brought home any snakes!
Cambri is in seventh heaven her cat Jade just had 5 kittens. She is every so careful to take care of them morning and night. It is quite the event to watch her. Who knew Breezy McFadden had a softer side. (giggles) She has loved it up here this week. It is Kamas Fiesta Days and there has been rodeo after rodeo.
Tomorrow the kids are going to be in the Children's Parade. They can either dress up like mountain men or decorate their bikes and ride behind the float. They are all excited! Hopefully there will not be any road rash incidents! Keep your fingers crossed! :}

It's us in the summer!

Hiya,
So I have survived knee surgery, made it through Drill Team Camp, and I know it's 2 in the morning, but hey I am updating my blog!! I am not hobbling around anymore! Hooray! Hopefully just a few more weeks of physical therapy, otherwise known as Pain & Torture, and I'll be good as new.
Chris has started soccer practice for the new Competition Team he is coaching and loving the rides he takes up the mountain in his new Ranger. Did he get a big gift for Father's Day or what?
Kaili has had a little break from dance now that summer is here. She had her 1st piano recital and played everything from memory. I was impressed. She was asked to join the pre-comp swim team at the SSAFC (rec center) and really seems to like it. She also just came back from a week long trip with her BFF Cassie. The girl can shop...I do not have any idea where she gets that from! tee-hee
Dallin has started up with soccer and had a blast picking out new gear. He even purchased goalie gloves, which of course Cambri said she wanted also. He was also asked to be on the pre-comp Swim Team, which made Kaili a little mad because he jumped 2 levels, and missed getting a 1st place in his first meet doing the breast stroke by less than a second. Needless to say I was going crazy cheering for him in the stands.
Cambri has been going to Dallin's soccer practices...she wants to be just like him. She is in Level 4 in swimming and I think was secretly wishing that they would ask her to jump levels too. But they didn't so she is kind of sad having to sit in the stands and cheer...she would rather be swimming with her brother and sister. She has become quite the little driver with the 4 wheelers and I think Evil Kanevil has been reincarnated in her. scary!
Well that's about it...We haven't moved...I have a new nephew Jeramey Michael Mellen (Matt & Amy's)...and I need to register my car this month. But enough of that, I hope you had a super 4th and an even better 24th! *Marie
