Summer is finally here!

It's hard to believe since it just snowed last week. We lost the tree branch that held up my clothes line. Very disappointed since there are no other tree limbs within reach. We are very grateful for the moisture. Every drop counts here in the desert.

The kids ended school with lots of activities. Sam got on the honor roll. Ryan won the Presidential Excellence in Academics award at his school. Ethan got all A's on his report card. Connor learned how to write his name. Ryan and Sam both had band concerts. Ryan and Ethan participated (grudgingly- as you can see in the above picture) in the dance festival at their school.

Sam and Ryan headed for youth conference today. Ryan comes home tonight since he's just a deacon, but Sam won't be home until Saturday. She was pretty excited. She and two other girls were in charge of some geo caching activities. She thought it would be pretty fun.

Eric has another week of school and then he is done (mostly) until the first week of August. There are going to be some furlough days at the Canyons district this year, but we'll just try to forget about the money we're not getting and enjoy our time together.

So glad for the sunshine. Got all my flowers into pots. Still need to hang a basket and stain the deck, but so glad for the sun!
