My Obsession!
My good friend just recently posted that her obsession last week was reading Harry Potter! My obsession these past two weeks has been all about moving! Packing, De-Junking, Cleaning, Running to the DI Trailer, and pretty much ignoring my poor children! This week is only going to be crazier with all the above plus my actual move and unpacking! Wish me luck! I hope to have the Harry Potter Obsession soon!!!

Our 16 Day Vacation!
We were gone to for 16 days and we're excited to be home! We did tons of fun things but I will only highlight one per day that we were gone!

Day 1, June 30, 2007: We left our house at about 9 am and only made it to Twin Falls, ID (an eight hour drive)

Day 2, July 1, 2007: Drove to Ogden to pick up Teresa's kids (that makes a total of 7 kids) and then drove all the way to Denver arriving at 9pm only stopping for one picture in Morgan, Utah (we couldn't pass up the photo opportunity)

Day 3, July 2, 2007: Played in grandma's fun backyard and reinstated "The Kids Club" from last summer which doesn't include babies, teenagers or adults!

Day 4, July 3, 2007: Spent a very HOT day at Pirates Cove (A smaller water park just 10 min from my mom's house)

Maddie was more interested in her new Crocs than any swimming!

Day 5, July 4, 2007: Jon left for Switzerland, while the kids and I went to the beautiful Colorado Mountains. We went to a 4th of July parade in Frisco, CO.

Day 6, July 5 2007: We spent most of the day swimming in the pool at the condo. We also enjoyed some cooler & rainy weather.

Day 7, July 6, 2007: We drove back to Denver but stopped long enough to take a picture of the spectacular mountains!
