I have been wanting to go to Chuck E. Cheese since it was built in Layton over a year ago. I've never had anyone to go with, but this week I got invited to go with Stefanie, her boys, her mom, sister, Brody, and my mom. It was a very fun place and I actually got a really delicious sandwich!
Here's Dane and Stef
Cord and his uncle Brody (aka his best friend in the whole world!)
Baby Dane
I caught Cord and his Grandma Dee Dee with their mouths full. I promised Debbie I wouldn't put this picture on facebook :) (I kept my promise!)
Mom, Cord, and Brody playing the classic "Whack-a-mole"
My mom and Dane playing Zoofari.
I played a couple fun games too (and a couple really crappy games that pissed me off!)
On another note- if you saw my last post about my new school, you can probably imagine the amount of stress I've had this week. It has been a freaking MADHOUSE!!!
For something fun, my new principal (who I love), wanted the whole faculty to dress up like a character from a book for a picture. I dressed up as Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz"--just because it was an easy character to dress as. By the time this picture was taken, I was just about to change back to my regular clothes, so I had already taken out my pigtails.
There were some really cute and creative costumes. (and some really lame ones too)
Wish me luck for next week!!
Since we started school on Monday in our Amazing, Brand new school, they had a ribbon cutting ceremony. Ideally, they would've had the ribbon cutting ceremony BEFORE school started, but that just didn't work out.

This is my BEAUTIFUL new school: Legacy Junior High in West Layton.
It is amazing and there are a million workers there every day, but there's no way everything's going to be finished by MONDAY!
Since we were in Bear Lake on Max and Livvie's actual birthday, they wanted to celebrate with all their friends and family before we left.
Mom and Dane (Dane ate that whole peach!)
Reagan
All the kids (I think) in the Dune Buggy
Max got this "Snake Eyes" costume (from GI JOE) and wore it constantly- even in the water!
Steffie
Me and Neil getting ready to take about 6 kids on the paddle boat
Lindsay, Reagan, Olivia, and Whitney in the tubby
Our morning ritual of carrying a million buckets of water to fill up the pool.
It was a great week filled with swimming, laying out, eating junk food, roasting marshmallows and being ridiculously lazy: the perfect vacation!
On tuesday night, I made waffles for the first time in my whole life! They didn't turn out very well and it took me about 40 minutes to make the batter and 1 stupid waffle. Things just kept going wrong- I don't think I'll try to make waffles (or anything else) anytime soon. 
On August 5, Kelsey and Alex's son turned 1 year old!
He really started to enjoy that cake!
When he was all done- he was the BIGGEST mess! (and still so cute!)
Like I said, just a few random things to blog about...
How could I forget to post my most recent proudest moment!?
This is Nick swimming in the deep end. He is a really great swimmer. He doesn't need floaties or a lifejacket or anything!
Reagan is learning how to do a backfloat! I love it :)
Tink has become a really good swimmer too.
Calls and Neils
Saturday night, Neil's family invited us to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. It was really pretty. This is Neil's sister Monica and her family. From l to r: Henry, Kurt, Will, Monica (including baby #4), and Louis.
Me and Neil
Neil's parents- Dawn and Pat.
