Summer Fun

Summer Fun!!
Cedar City built a Lake on the Hill. We spent a lot of time there this summer. The kids loved it. It is really pretty nice. I always have to haul in my own shade because there isn't any. I bought an enormous red umbrella at the beginning of the summer. It is huge and the base is so heavy! I also haul in a playpen, cooler, camp chairs, swimming toys, sand toys, floating toys, diaper bag, and my stroller. It is a lot of work. By the time I get all set up, I plan on staying all day. The hardest thing about hauling everything in is the distance. It is a good 1/2 mile walk if not a little more.

The kids enjoy swimming and playing in the sand.

This is Hamilton, Cody's friend. We are never alone in our adventures!!

Faline, Hamilton's mom. She also hauled in just as much stuff as me everytime! What a good friend to continue answering the phone when I call.

Cody discovered he really likes watermellon! Isn't he the cutest kid ever!

Summer was a blast! We spent plenty of time at the Parowan Pool too. I do not have pictures though. I am actually surprised I don't. Sorry. The kids also spent lots of time in Milford at Grandpa and Grandma's house. We had Nate and Grayson in Baseball, and we had some fishing trips of course. We went to the PTA movie once a week at the movie theaters. I would say my kids got way to used to going to the movies by the end of summer. They don't understand why we don't still go regularly. The PTA movie is significantly cheaper because it is a fund raiser. We had a great summer.

Pink

I finally emptied my camera onto the computer! The pictures start in April/May and go to current. I know, I know, if I updated my blog more often, I wouldn't be so behind. I am going to update. I promise. I may take a few posts to get it done. We will start with Aubrie's room. We finished this awhile ago. It is so cute. We ended up having lots of fun using all the different shades of pink that Nate bought. I couldn't just waste them. I did have to put two coats of primer over what he had painted to be able to cover it. She loves it. She has been pretty good at keeping it clean too. She loves to have guests over to play in her room. It is Barbie central! She has two rolling suitcases that she pulls out regularly (rolling suitcases make for an easy cleanup too). We are happy it worked out so well. She has floor length white sheer curtains over the window with a black valance that is not pictured. It helps take out the glow a little, and brightens the room.

Keep checking back because I really will keep updating!

Twilight

Well it is done. Mom and I went to the opening of Eclipse. We watched all three movies in the trilogy. We had tons of fun cheering, clapping and squealing. I will say Eclipse is my favorite movie so far. We got to wear our new Twilight shirts. Actually they turned out to be jackets. Loved it! Thanks girls for such a fun night out.

I had to add the Eclipse countdown. I bought tickets to go to the Twilight trilogy. I will get to watch all three movies in a row at the theater! I am so excited. I am going to Walmart to buy a Twilight T-shirt to wear to the event. Even better, I am making mom wear one too. I will post pictures.

Also, I saw the Swagger Waggon commercial on Utube and had to post it. It just made me laugh.

Today is a quiet day. No friends over at all. My kids are having a read-a-thon. For every book they read they get a treat. Thank you Laurie for the idea. They got to pick any spot they wanted to read. Aubrie took control and set up camp under the kitchen table. They have had a blast.

OH NATE!

OH NATE!!

I sent Nate into Home depot with instructions to buy the top two colors of paint on the paint card. I assumed he did. We prepared the room (this was a major job) and were ready to paint the main color. Nate--he is so helpful--got started without me. He thought the color was a little bright at the store. He bought it without question because he has blind faith in all things pink. When he started painting, he thought the color was a little bright, but trusted my choice.

HE HAD THE COLOR CARD UPSIDE DOWN IN HOME DEPOT!!!!

THIS IS THE RESULT.

It has words on it. I would think you could tell up from down. Now I have to go buy primer and the right colors. I will do it myself for sure.

Aubrie loves it by the way!

Catch up time

Prom
Uncle Nate you are so handsome! We are happy you belong to us. We love you.

Grandpa and Grandma look so nice. Cody is happy to be included.

Goofing around.

My boys are so cute!

This is Cody and his friend Hamelton going shopping with their mommy's in St. George.

After a bath. Just to remind his Aunt Emily and Aunt Alicia how cute and fat he is.

I seriously never catch the smile. I am always 1 second to soon or to late.

Happy Easter!!
I was going to take the kids to Zions. Maybe just the Imax now.

First the wind tore apart the trampoline enclosure. Notice it is missing the net. Then the snow came. Happy Easter weekend. I am sure we won't be wearing shorts and flip flops.





Notice that is our power wheels completely covered.
This has nothing to do with the snow. I just made the funnest little blanket this week and I wanted to show it off. It is a rag quilt so the edges are all frayed. Notice the hanging loose hand. Fingers are fairly hard to sew. My friend Faline had to pose in this position while I drew it. The kids thought we were nuts I am sure. I am making one for each kid so I will post pictures when they are done.

What's new

Hi everyone!
This is just an update on the Breinholt Kids.

Nate had a birthday. He turned 9! He is now a Bear cub scout.
For his birthday he took some friends sledding. We had hot chocolate instead of ice cream.
We had a great time and went home FROZEN and WET.

Nate got glasses. He is getting used to them more every day.

These are some pictures of Cody. He is growing so fast. I just wanted everyone to see how cute he is. Who knows when Aunt Alicia or Aunt Emily will get to see him.
