July Birthdays

July is full of birthdays for us. It gets a little crazy sometimes. We had cubscout camp and then the boys went off to sleep away camp. So we had to squeeze birthday celebrations in there. The boys have requested next year that they get seperate birthdays. So we will see what we can do about that. We had the Murdochs come over ate a little cake, opened a few presents, and had a pretty good time.

Summer Fun

Here is a little update on the Hazen clan. Kylie is back from Camp Coniston. She had alot of fun and made some new friends. The boys are attending the day camp for cub scouts this week. They seem to really be enjoying it. They leave on Sunday for their week long sleep away camp. It will be really quiet. Poor Jeremy has to deal with all the girls. Sarah has a week left of summer school. She is doing well and hopefully it will help with the transition to secong grade. They will be testing her for dyslexia. She seems to really struggle sometimes. Melissa is getting inot whatever she can. She does a great job at irritating whichever of her siblings are around. We have had a very wet summer. We have only been swimming once, but hopefully it will dry up a bit. We will be moving soon, not sure where yet. So keep us in your prayers that we can find a suitable place. Jeremy is starting some new classes again. He is doing really well and I am very proud of him. Well that should catch everybody up. Hope everyone is having a great summer.

Artist

Well it seems we can add one more thing to the list of Kylie's talent. It would appear that she can also paint. I was really impressed by her picture. She also made a smaller version that she turned into a paper weight for Jeremy for Father's Day.

Cake

Here is my most recent creation. I made it for the dessert auction at church to raise money for the youth. It was alot of fun. I have discovered I really enjoy making cakes.

Kylie's First Youth Temple Trip!

I cannot belive she is so big.She went on her first temple trip this month. SHe really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back. One of the leaders said she was absolutely glowing when she came out. I am so amazed at what an incredible young woman she is turning out to be. I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful person as my daughter.

Where Oh Where Has My Little Sheep Gone?

Melissa got to visit a farm recently with a few of her friends. They got to see a baby lamb that was just hours old. SHe loved holding it. She had so much fun chasing the sheep all over the hill. She actually asked if she could sllepover with the baby lamb. Her only complaint was the sheep that pooped on her finger. We had to use a view wipes to get it clean. All in all it was a great time. She can't wait to go back.
