Where has the time gone?? Almost another month down. We have been very busy. I can't believe there is only 1 month of summer left.
A few weeks ago we all rode our bikes across the long bridge, where Clayton's tire blew out. We have warned him time and time again not to skid out. Well he finally got the consequences for his decision. Clayton also lost his other front tooth. (In his sleep) So he is toothless! He's Cute.
Cody just runs and runs till his little body can't run any more. He is so afraid to start Kindergarten. He knows his letters and sounds, he knows his colors (that took forever) and he can count to 60 or better. He is ready and yet so afraid of it. He will have tons of friends cause that's the kind of kid he is but getting over the fear of it is another thing.
Casen is just enjoying being his big brothers shadow. Loving these last few weeks to its fullest with is brothers around. Then it will be lots of time spent with boring old mom. I wont hardly now what to do either cause I'm used to them always having each other. Wow we are turning a page to a new chapter in Lippy Life.
Aaron, he's has been another story all together. He cut his arm 3 weeks ago. He received 2 stitches there. (Not a good stitch job it should of been 6-8 stitches) That's gonna leave a scare. Then 1 day after he got those stitches out he cut his finger. His middle finger with a razor knife. This one has 7 stitches it cut the artery in his finger and nicked the tendon. Needless to say 3 weeks no swimming. During all this he also has been sick with strep-throat and bronchitis. I think if he could secure a job his whole world would change. I think that most of this is coming about because of stress.
Me, I am rolling with the punches. I get to enjoy my boys, play referee, lifeguard, maid, cook and bottle washer. I wouldn't change it for the world. Life is good for the most part, a little tough at times but good over all.
We are hoping to hear from 2 schools in our area in the next couple weeks. I pray that I can keep Aaron all in 1 piece and well. Three little boys happy and and safe and he can secure a job. It would be such a blessing for our whole family.

Monday our day went as usual except, my mom was off, so we went there to spend some time with her. Just as we got there we got one of those dreaded phones calls. Aaron got hurt at work. Just that phrase I'm at the doctors I got hurt at work puts your heart in your throat so quick, Are you O.K?? What happened? Where are you? How bad is it? What can I do to help? etc.
It turns out he is fine. He was on a ladder lost his balance, tried to catch himself with a razor knife in his hand which ended up in his arm. YUCK a few stitches and strict rules to stay out of the pool for 2 weeks and he'll be fine!!
Monday night we rode our bikes to the Mylroies a family in our ward. We had dinner and FHE with them. For FHE we delivered cookies to new members in our ward and less actives also. It was a lot of fun! We explained to the kids that this was a form of doing missionary work. Today I was asked to attend a discussion with the missionaries and Jamie an investigator. I explained this to the boys and they were so mad. They said we love to do missionary work. We want to do it with you. It was so sweet and felt so good to now that the little things we do to teach our children sometimes does sink in.
I am so thankful for such a special family. They are so sweet, loving and caring towards me there mother and wife. My life is truly blessed daily. My life is great!! I have so many blessings and still receive many more daily. Most of my joy is in little things, like my little family. They are the best.

Summer Fun!

Well Summer has hit full force! We live in such a beautiful area. We love the mountains, the fresh air, great neighbors, family and lots of friends. We are truely blessed to live here.

Our summer is going pretty well. We got a pool!!! It has been a blast! As you can see Aaron laying on water=) Pretty impressive. Not one day has gone by that we haven't been out in it swimming. It is so nice.
It is 15'x42" I think "" are right if not its 15 feet x 42 inches. About waist high, which is perfect for the boys. Even Casen has a blast jumpin with a life jacket of course.
The pool has been full at all times with neighbor kids (who have there own pool) family and friends.
Yes, to all the mothers just like me I was and am scared for my boys daily but they have been doing a great job staying away from the pool and that area without me out there. This pool comes with a really good cover that clips down. (That's what the black doohickey's are that are hang down all around the pool) We need some fun in our lives, so enjoy the little things.
