We've had a few things happen since I last posted. I had the kids in Swimming lessons for 2 weeks. They both loved it and we will definitely be doing that again. They're both water babies.
While John's mom was here we took a day trip up to Park city. We went around town for a while, then we went up to the slopes and went on the alpine slide! We loved it! So much fun! John also went on the zip line. His first time ever! He loved it! After that, we went to Heber and rode on the Heber Valley Railroad. The kids loved it. Devin loves trains! I think that Colin enjoyed it the most though. We all had a great day. 
Erin started School on July 29th. Yes in the middle of the summer. We're on Year round School here. She was so excited to go to 1st Grade! She likes her teacher, and is having a great time. She is in the same class as a neighbor girl and she loves it. They get to ride the bus together, and sit across from each other in class. The adjustment to going all day hasn't been too hard, though she tells me that she gets a little home sick sometimes. On the 3rd day of school, Erin came home not very happy. She didn't feel very well, so I thought that maybe the lunch didn't agree with her or she had the stomach flu. Well, She was up half the night with stomach cramps and throwing up. Early in the morning she told John that her side hurt. Well, it sounded a little to familiar to John, so I took her to the doctor the next day (even though she seemed to be a bit better). The doctor wanted to rule out appendicitis, so he 
sent us to the ER for some blood tests. By 4:30, Erin was in surgery getting her appendix removed. It was all very scary and fast, but we're glad that she's OK. 2 days later she was better than new, with no pain and only a little tenderness near her incisions. We had her skip school on Monday, but she was back to school on Tuesday like nothing happened. Thank goodness for modern medicine! She only has one problem now. The anesthesiologist was worried that her wiggly front tooth might fall out and choke her during the surgery, so he pulled it out. When he was pulling that one out, the one next to it cam out too, so she has no front teeth! It's cute, but it's too bad for her that it's corn-on-the-cob season!!

It takes forever to boot up, and then takes a while for all of the programs to load. If anyone has any ideas or suggestion about this let me know!

oh erin...I know what that feels like with the appendix stuff! NOT FUN!!!!I don't know any young kids who have had it other than Erin. I'm sure that was scary for you guys.
other than that it looks like it has been a fun summer. I really want to ride the heber Creeper(what we used to call it). I especially want to do the polar express one during the holidays. It would be fun to coordinate that.
i'm glad erin is doing so well!! post some more pictures of your house now that you've moved in! carie just started her first week of 1st grade too.
Wow, that's a lot of news! Noah couldn't eat corn on the cob the other day because his front tooth is very loose. So, either way she probably couldn't eat it whether it was in and loose or out. We start school next week. Our charter school is late for Arizona, most schools started at the end of July like you or the second week of August.
Hope Erin is feeling better now!
Sounds like a summer filled with fun! Glad to gear that Erin is good as new. My advice for the computer....get a new one!
Oh my goodness! I am so glad Erin is ok! When I heard I could not believe it! Sorry we have not been able to make it up to visit her. I am so glad to hear she is doing so much better. Tell John thanks so much for letting us use the dolly and helping us! It was soooo nice! Hope things keep going well for you guys. My little brother had appendicitis too when he was younger. I am glad that is taken care of, now sweet Erin can be back to her awesome self!! :) Love you guys!
She is so young to have her appendix out! Poor thing. She really doesn't look that unhappy in the hospital bed. And having two teeth fall out! Quite an adventure for someone so young. I am glad she is doing better.
We started school this last week.It is sad that summer vacation has come to an end. Looks like you had a very nice summer. We miss you guys!
