Chicka Chicka BOOM BOOM
The official first day of school is about a week away and what better way to end the summer than with a back to school pool party. I decided to do a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Party. This book has been one of our favorites for a while now and it just seemed like an appropriate theme. And let's be honest I will throw a party for any reason using just about any theme. So we raided Grandma's house (while she was on vacation) and got our party on..
We had a blast playing and swimming with friends. And the moms really enjoyed hanging out together too. Everyone brought their favorite back to school snack and I made a really yummy summer salad.

wrong number...
Tonight at around 9:30 the phone rang and as usual when Geoffrey doesn't know a number he hands it to me to answer. Before I could even get a whole "Hello" on the phone the voice of a old, worried man began to ask for the pastor to pray for his Vickie who is sick in bed, after I explained to him that he must have the wrong number he seemed really embarrassed and a bit frustrated so I quickly asked him what was wrong with his Vickie. He then told me how she was really sick to her stomach and he was really worried and maybe even a little scared. At first the nurse in me came out and I made sure he was keeping her hydrated, comfortable, and asked him if she was getting worse to go to the hospital. He assured me he would and then I told him that I would pray for her tonight in my prayers. The old man paused for a second and quickly told me how grateful he would be if my family would do this. I assured him we would and then we hung up. I was a little teary eyed when I hung up the phone thinking how much he loved his wife and I was hoping that I brought some even if just a little comfort to this husband in need. When I was telling Geoffrey the story of the phone call he quickly asked, " did you ask if they wanted a blessing?" I was surprised by his question and to be honest it didn't even enter my mind to ask. I have thought a lot of this phone call in the last couple of days and mostly because I wander if it might have been Heavenly Father reminding me that I STINK at missionary work and, that I as well as my family should always be ready to share the gospel. I did however put her name of the prayer list at the Temple and I have kept her in my prayers these last couple of days. And I will be more prepared to hand Geoffrey the phone next time, to test his skills.:)

school shoes
I can't believe that summer vacation is over!! I'm so sad... It almost make me cry to think that Jayden actually has to go this year full time!! I hate it! I want more mommy days, PJ's-all-day days, and just do whatever we want days. I hate that school kinda owns us now. Anyways, to make us all feel better we hit the shoe store to get some new kicks for school. The boys were way excited they love love love new shoes! They knew exactly what they wanted and were even more excited to show daddy their shiny new shoes.
Jayden chose some Captain America Reeboks (the salesman assured me they were really cool, I had my doubts but, for the rest of our mall outing I heard older boys talking about them. So good choice J.)
Cousin Photo shoot
While all the cousins are in town we decided to throw together an impromptu photo shoot while playing at the lake. The kids did great, they listened and laughed long enough for us to get some great pictures.
