Where did he come from?

Well this week I decided I would try to work on cleaning the windows and blinds. Before I could finish though I needed to wash down the 3 barn sparrow nests that are in the eves of the house outside my bedroom window. I finished getting those down and decided to try to get down the wasp nest from last year. As I was trying to squirt down the nest out came our new resident, and I call him that beause of his size.

I decided to try find out what kind of spider he is and got down the binoculars when I saw this. I then had to take a picture of him to share him with everyone else.......

....I don't think that I need to worry about putting up any Halloween decorations. I think he has done a fine job.

This summer we have been a bit busy and I have not updated this very well nor has Corey. Oh well time to get to it. June flew by with all that happened. We had a great time visiting with Micheal and Shantel... thanks for not telling us sooner!!
On the 4th of July we got to go to St. George and stay at the condo. I didn't think I would ever get my kids out of the pool they had a blast and yes again I forgot to take a camera.

The week of the 24th Corey was in a car accident-no one injured, and not his fault, but seems to be a yearly occurance anymore. Anyway we had the AC freeze up and needed to take his car into Tony's to have him look at it so we stayed in a hotel in Draper that night and the kids had another fun short trip, we would have stayed longer and swam but had to get back for the AC repair man to come and see what was wrong.

It is now fair time/single mom week and a 1/2. The kids always look forward to going to the fair though so they can ride on the rides and yes, get to see dad.

Blake will be going to 2nd grade. It will be a bit crowded this year since Grantsville Elem burned and they will be putting the 3rd and 4th grade back to Willow Elem for the Year. He love to play the Wii,and the Game cube. On rare occassions I can get him to call a friend, that has been harder since his best friend moved. He also likes to ride bikes and scooters with Kaitlyn and Braden.

Katie will be in Kindergarten, She asks everyday when shool is going to start. I'm sure that she will be the teacher's little helper.She loves to help around the house. She is always there to hold Caleb or play with him when I need to get things done.

Braden is such a ham these days. Yesterday, while I was in the shower he opened up the Oreo's and ate about a dozen of them for a mid-morning snack. Today as I was getting him dressed he said that he had a fever. I asked him if he had an earache. He said, "Yes, that Blake had squirtted the water in his ear and it went down his drain." His loves to play with his cars and be Darth Maul when playing witht he light sabors.

Caleb is growing like a weed and trying to stand by himself a bit. I don't think that it will be long before he is off walking on his own. When he was in for his 9 month visit he weighed as much and was only 3/4 of an inch shorter than his other 3 siblings at their 12 month visits. YIKES. He may grow up to be bigger than his older brothers.

Some of his favorite spots to play are under the table or in the shoe box at the front door. Then he usually finds the stairs and it's time to chase him up and bring him down again.

He loves to play with his siblings and they have had a lot of fun this summer playing with him. (All except Braden, who cries and does not want to share his cars toys.) Oh well, he will just have to learn to share.

It has been a fun summer, but we can't hardly wait for the fair to be over and school to start.
