Everyday Miracles
I decided to start another blog called Everyday Miracles (just click to visit). The reasoning behind my decision is posted over at the new blog. I would really love if you would visit the new blog everyonce in awhile.
Swim Lessons
We decided to put Emilee in swim lessons this year for a couple of reasons, she loves the water, and it would give us something fun to do for a couple of weeks. Knowing that Emilee loves the water, we assumed the first day would be a piece of cake, well you should never assume. Emilee was signed up for Preschool level 1, we thought that was the basic. Everything was going okay, until she met her teacher. She flipped out because she had a male teacher, who knew that would be so traumatic. We could not get her back in the pool. Thank heavens for Kim, she came along and took Emilee into the pool. While watching what the classes were teaching we realized there was a level lower than Preschool level 1, it was just preschool. Adam and I decided to make the change and have Emilee in that class. Everything went much smoother from that time on. Emilee loves the water, and looked forward to her class everyday. She blew bubbles, jumped of the edge, went underwater, floated on her back and tummy, kicked her legs, she loved her lessons. At times she was more excited to play than listen. On the last day I was ready to take pictures of Emilee doing the tests to pass the class, little did I know it was slide day. The teachers had been watching them for the last couple of days to see if they could pass. The last day was a total play day. They took the kids to the big water slides and let them go down. They did the younger kids for the first minutes and the older kids for the last minutes. Emilee had so much fun going down the slides, she went as many times as she could, which ended up being 3 times. She passed her class, on the back of her certificate they wrote that "she is soo ready for the next level". Emilee is definitely not scared of the water.
10 Years
Earlier this month Adam and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. It's amazing to think how fast the time has gone. We celebrated by going to dinner, thanks to Kayloni for babysitting, we were able to go by ourselves. Adam was kind and took me to Red Lobster, which was yummy. Then we wandered around the mall, and a couple other stores. Adam bought me a pair of earrings and I bought Adam a few movies. It was nice to have the evening to ourselves.
I am thankful for Adam and everything that he has done for Emilee and I. We have had our share of ups and downs. Adam has been strong and steady through it all. I love him with all of my heart, I am glad that 10 years ago I married him. Adam thank you for being wonderful.

July 5th
We celebrated the 4th with Adams family on the 5th this year. It worked out well for us, that way we were able to celebrate with both families. We had a BBQ where everyone had to bring something they hadn't made before. It was fun to try new things, and everything was really good. We played some games, they were minute to win it type of games. It was fun to play or to watch everyone else try to win. They also had some games for the kids to play. After the games we watched more fireworks. It was a fun evening and it was nice to spend time with the family that could be there.
4th of July
We had so much fun on the 4th this year. Adam actually had the day off, it's nice when he can spend the holiday with us. The whole family gets together the 1st Sunday of every month for a dinner and to celebrate whose ever birthday is in that month. The first Sunday just happened to fall on the 4th and Christy was nice enough to host the dinner at her house. After dinner we went for a walk as a family, to kill time before it got dark. We ended at a park, where the "grownups" acted more like kids than the kids did. We went down slides, had jumping off swing contests, and a few of us even rode in a little kid car. It was so much fun, it was the "grownups" that didn't want to leave the park when it was time to go, the kids were more than ready to go. As we arrived back at the house, it was dark enough for fireworks. It was so much fun to be together as a family on the holiday.
Delish
I love to try new recipes, and sometimes they turn out wonderful and others not so great. I decided that it would be fun to share the recipes I find, that we like, with you. In June we tried a few recipes and we really liked these two.
The first one is for Stuffed pita, but we also tried it in a wrap and we love it. It's easy, light, and filling. I really love this site, it's easy to spend awhile searching through all the past recipes.
The second one is for a dessert, of course. This one was great for the summer, its a Pudding Dessert. I didn't use the shaved candy bars, because I didn't have any on hand. I did like the crust, but I think next time I might try something different, just for fun. Hope you enjoy, like we have.

June......
I can't believe that the month is almost gone, so much to do so little time. It doesn't feel like we've done a ton, it's just gone by to fast.
Christy, Robert, Russell, and Amber moved into their new homes the beginning of this month. It was exciting to see all that they had accomplished. I know that they are enjoying being in their homes. Christy and Robert even got a new kitten to celebrate. Russell and Amber were finally able to bring Trapper into their home.
Then we had a birthday celebration with my family on the first Sunday to celebrate all the June birthdays. This month you have Christy, Amber, and My Birthday. So my Mom cooked the meal and then the husbands were in charge of the cake and ice cream. It was fun to see the guys work together.
We went to Pirate Island with Adams family. It was really fun to have everyone there, it has been awhile since we were all together. The kids loved to listen to the music, they were doing Karaoke that night. They also had fun playing together on the pirate ship. The family remembered it was my birthday the next day, so they tried to have the pirates sing to me. But because of the Karaoke they weren't able to. It was a fun night to spend with the family.
Adam was so kind to me this year for my birthday, he totally surprised me. He arranged to have Emilee go to Ryan and Kristienas to spend the night. While he whisked me away to Salt Lake for a night. The day of my birthday we went shopping and Emilee picked out a Cricut cartridge for me to have. We went to lunch and then we went to the Sweet Tooth Fairy for a cupcake. To my surprise (and a nice coincidence) they had made my favorite cupcake that day, Key Lime. Adam actually bought four of them, I was able to have one a day for the next few days yummy. After we dropped Emilee off, which was hard, we went shopping a little more, bought a new shirt, then we went to dinner. It was nice going to dinner and being just the two of us. I didn't have to worry if Emilee was eating, or unhappy, so nice. That was how wonderful my birthday was. So Nice.
Adam had to work this year for fathers day, which was sad. So I made him the dinner of his choice, which was Manicotti. I decided to go all out for his dinner, we had an appetiser, a salad, garlic bread, Manicotti and dessert. After dinner he opened his presents, I gave him a LED flashlight that he had wanted, and the batteries to go with it. Emilee gave him a little lego set, and some tools. He seemed excited for his gifts. We went to visit both of our Dads, it was nice to spend some time with them even though it wasn't a lot of time. We love to visit family and to just spend time with them.
