Just like Ryan, Nick loves the water. We could spend all day at Gram's pool soaking in the sun and splashing in the water. The only part of that idea that doesn't work is the whole 5 kids thing. It is a little hard to let 5 kids run rampant at and Gram & Grandpa's house. Gram bought Nick this little float last time we were down and he loved it. Since I'm a sunscreen and hat freak, I loved the whole shade part.I feel a bit out of touch with life and reality lately because life just seems like one thing after another. I feel like all day long I go around putting out fires. If it isn't fighting and crying, it's "my shoes won't go on right," "my hair fell out of its braids," "I want to sit on the first stool at the bar," "I'm bored," and so forth. It's just about enough to drive a person to drink. And the whole fairness thing...what is that all about? "How come Shawn gets his food first?" "Why doesn't Sierra have to bring the laundry upstairs?" "Why does Cassie get an extra sticker on the chore chart?" eeeeeeekkk!!!
Cassie is getting baptized next Saturday. Crazy, but I guess we've worked it all out. She is really excited and can't wait for her own scriptures. My MIL gave her a set to use, but Cassie really wants some with her name on them and I couldn't get RaeMi's name off the old ones because...they were too old, I guess. One more thing to add to my ever growing list of things that need to get done: buy Cassie a set of scriptures with her name on them. Thank goodness for online shopping, it saves my life to be able to get things done at 10:00 pm when I have a few minutes.
I think my oldest brother Cory is real catch. I'm thinking that if he wants to get married someday, he's going to have to put himself out there. If he won't do it, I will! I think Cory is such a great guy. Here are his stats: He's got a great job, great house, great personality, and (if I do say so myself) a pretty great family. What is his deal? He'll be 31 in a few weeks and I think that it is about time that he starting "actively" looking. While I'm at it, my youngest brother, Brett (on the right and 22) needs a girl, too! He, on the other hand, should take a few more years to look for the right one. I happened to think that these three guys (aside from Jeff & my boys, of course) are the best looking guys around and I love them each to pieces.

Thanks for the update. Good luck next weekend with the baptism.
Looks like you have lots going on. As far as Lagoon goes it's kind of tricky keeping everyone together so no one gets lost. It went pretty well though. I took my two seater jogging stroller and that was REALLY nice to have. I don't know if you like to go on rides or not but I don't so I just hung out with the baby and Nick took the other kids on the rides. We kind of each had kids we were in charge keeping track of. If you can get those fans that have water in them to cool you off...it gets very hot. How old is your oldest?? Rylee was kind of scared of things this year (wierd) so we basically hung out in the kids area the lines for the big rides were VERY long. We got there right when it opened and pretty much walked right on all of the kids rides..that was nice. Sorry not alot of great advice. Have fun and Good Luck!!
Holy cow, I can't believe how big and grown up Brett is. I remember him being this little squirrely thing. BTW, I have the same float for Laralee and love it. I hope we get to see you soon. Send me your phone number so I can call you next month!
Cassie's baptism invite turned out really cute. Did you take the pics? Good job if you did. It looks really nice.
Wow Kelly, I'm not sure if you remember me (Katie Gwilliam) but I just came across your blog and thought I would leave a comment! What a cute family you have!!!
Kelly! It's Sheryl (Blake) Bennett. I was wondering what you were up to and then I saw the link to your blog on Rick's blog. Your family is adorable. My email is dancersmiles@hotmail.com I'd love to hear from you. That is, when you get a moment. It seems you are super busy. :)
