Dog days of summer?

I made it through this week! This week we mostly finished gathering stuff for Blake's eagle project, mostly finished remodeling the 3 bathrooms, Chad and the boys finished up YCC (more on that later), worked more on buying a business, mostly got the kids ready for school, took a mini vacation, had great company visit, (my mom and dad were here for the weekend), soccer practices, scouts for me and Reid, and I guess that's enough. Oh, and the best part, the temple is done! We went to the dedication this morning. Wonderful! Rylee was sad last week that she couldn't go, but she was able to play at a friends and was sad when we picked her up. Chad and the boys had lots of practices for YCC and the performance was Saturday night. I don't care what they say, it was worth every minute they put into it. It was incredible. They did a great job! I think there are a lot of leaders who crashed today. I hope they can remember the positive experiences more than the negative ones. Thursday we made all the kids drop all their responsibilities and we went to Boise for a family day. It was a lot of fun to be together. We went to the Discovery Center, did a little school shopping, went out to lunch at Louie's pizza, went to a park, and then home. When we got home my parents came to spend the weekend. YEA! We've had a great time with them. It has done my heart good to see my mom doing so well. It's just amazing, miraculous, that she is even alive, let alone able to travel far enough to come here. Well, I need to go get dinner made, and start putting backpacks together, school starts tomorrow, sniff sniff.
