Shots!

Since Emily is heading into 6th grade the time came for her to get some shots.  She was really nervous about it and since I am the best mom in the world, I let Wendy comfort and love her so I could take a picture!

Day Camp 2013

Emily attended Day Camp with the Achievement Day girls yesterday and I was so excited to be able to go and spend a few hours with them.  The theme was space.  They got to shoot off water rockets, do cheers, shoot guns, archery, make crafts, play with moon sand, and learn about the 1st moon landing.  It was fun watching all the girls bond while having a great time!

 

Wendy and T-Ball

This was Wendy's 1st year playing t-ball and she really loved it.  She made a lot of friends on her team and her favorite position catcher.  LeeRoy and I loved it when she was a 1st baseman because she would always be so busy complimenting the other team on how fast they ran to base that she would miss the ball.  So adorable.  At the last game they handed out trophies and she was so proud of it!

Blackfoot Pride Days

Last year we had fun at Pride Days but missed out on the airplane rides so this year we went prepared. We woke up early and waited in line for 3 hours until it was finally our turn.  Emily was super nervous and Wendy was super excited!  As soon as the ride was over they said it was amazing and the long wait was more than worth it!

Independence Day

We started out our holiday at a breakfast with our ward.  They also put on a flag ceremony that LeeRoy was involved in.  He wore his Class A uniform and it was really neat to watch.  My family came as well as Melinda who was visiting which made it even better.  We then headed to Pocatello for the Call Family reunion.  LeeRoy and I had fun visiting while the girls rode their bikes and ran around with cousins.  Wendy could not get enough of Melinda's dog and held her ever chance she got.  Later in the evening we headed over to Mom's to light off our own fireworks.  Jose, Janae, and the kids came to join us and brought some of their own so we had tons.  Everyone had a great time.  Days spent surrounded by family are truly the best!

Jensen's Grove

For the past several years we have avoided going to Jensen's Grove because we were afraid of getting swimmer's itch.  Lately though I talked to a lot of people who went and said they never had a problem so we decided to go and enjoy a fun afternoon at the beach.  Lorenzo went with us and brought his little paddle boats which was really fun.  Of course, I have now started to hear more and more people getting the itch so this will probably be our last time playing in the water for a while.

 

LeeRoy and Emily's Regeneration Party

So, for those of you who are total and complete dorks like my family, the title of this post is indeed a Doctor Who reference.  Emily has been obsessed with that show lately and begged for a Doctor Who party.  I agreed and made some invitations and told her this year I was going to be a crafty mom and make here cake.   I made the cake look crappy on purpose but kept telling her how proud I was of it.  She is so nice she agreed and showered me with praises.  

When she and LeeRoy had finished opening presents it came time for LeeRoy to bring out the cake I had made.  He lit the candles and we all started to sing Happy Birthday, but on his way out of the kitchen he stumbled and dropped the cake on the floor!  Both sets of grandparents screamed and Emily was horrified because I had gone on and on all day about how proud I was of the cake. 

 I told her it would be okay and that I was sure we had something in the kitchen I could throw together.  I then brought out her real birthday cake. The one that I had ordered to be made especially for the party without her knowing.  When she saw it she was so surprised and excited!  

It was a fun party and after it was over Emily and Wendy both told me they were going to drop cakes on the floor for their kids someday! LOL
