Summer 2010

Ummm...so what excuse do I have for being terrible at keeping up on my blog? None, you all know them because I'm sure it is the same in your family too. Kids, house, church callings, life....etc. I would love to say that I am going to be better at blogging, do it every day, shoot even at least once a week but I can't promise anything. So here in a nutshell is what we did during our short summer.

Here in Brentwood we have modified year-round school. What does this mean you ask? Kids get out the first week of June, have six weeks of summer then start school the last week of JULY! Yes that is right, school started July 26th this year. Of course we didn't think about that earlier in the year so we planned our family reunion for that week. But that is getting ahead of myself.

Preschool graduation then what?

First we had some fun with our friends Kobe and Dakota coming over and playing on the slip and slide, good way to cool down during those hot Brentwood summer days.



Next we had exciting news, my sister-in-law Brooke had her baby girl a month early. Leah came into the world on June 4th, and boy was she fast! Brooke barely made it to the hospital, but everything worked out great and now they have a beautiful little girl, Leah Grace.




Summer was spent playing at the park, visiting the Marina by Grandma Kirk's house, and feeding our friend's horses.





Towards the end of June we had a family reunion with my dad's side of the family. The O'Brien, Clymo, Ponti, Sarin family reunion. It was great to see everyone and catch up. Best of all I had everyone bring pictures from the old days, days of us growing up and we all got to walk down memory lane. That was so special to see the relationships that have tied us together throughout the years.





So that is in a nutshell what we did in June. I'll catch you up on the rest of summer later, now I've got to finish dinner before the kids start eating the dog.
