OK... I give in.

I guess it's not too hard to make a blog. Thanks to Aliese, who took the time to come over and show me all the cool things I could do. If it weren't for her this would have taken me days to figure out. Instead it only took me hours. Ha, ha. Hopefully it gets faster with a little practice. If it doesn't... you may only see one post a year.



This summer is wonderful!! I think this is the only time I wished for summer break to come. I was so tired of driving Byron all the way out and back from Lava Ridge everyday. (For those of you who may not know, we decided to stay in our house and not move out to Ivins for the time being). Next year he is taking the bus to Fossil Ridge. Yay!!!! Anyway, Landon and Miranda enjoyed two weeks of swim lessons. They are two cute little fishes.

Byron just got home today from a 4 day scout camp. Thankfully he didn't freeze or get blown away by a tornado, or get eaten by a bear. He had a great time and we are glad he is home safe. As a mother, it is no fun to hear about boys dying at scout camp the same days that your own son is gone.

Preston turned 10 years old last Sunday. Since it is no fun to celebrate a birthday on Sunday, we had his party on Saturday. We took him and his friends to Laser Mania. We played laser tag, miniature golf and arcade games. Have you ever had the cupcakes from Costco? They are HUGE!! Nate got the best score for golf, and I won laser tag. Better luck next time kids.

On Sunday we had a Warby/Dotson family reunion at the Dotsons. It was so much fun reuniting with old friends. John's daughter Avery became fast friends with Miranda. It's another generation of Warby's and Dotson's playing together. Unfortunately Jeff and Holly could not be there. However, they are coming in August so we hope to see them then.

Miranda and Avery
We were able to submit our application for the state license on Monday. And we have our inspection with them on Tuesday. After months of planing and many inspections, we can finally see the end of the road. Last week we had some neighbor kids over to take pictures for the website that Ian is putting together for the daycare. Kelli and Mom came to help take pictures, funny, funny Mother forgot her camera, but I think Kelli and I were able to get some good ones.
I think we are ready to do some good advertising and start up in August.

Today we went to Kung Fu Panda. It was hilarious! Definitely one I would recommend. I sat next to Landon who laughed through the whole thing. I love the sound of children's laughter.

Thank you for letting me share.
