The Colorado Blanchard's

Mae came into town with the kids today from Rexburg, Idaho. She is in town to drop off 3 of her kids at EFY. She called and said “Can we come over for dinner and I will bring everything?”-how could I say no to that. She wasn’t kidding she brought everything even dessert. It was so much fun just hanging out and visiting. Mae is just so fun to talk to I love just chatting with her!!!

The kids went straight downstairs to play the Wii with my little boy who never has anyone to play with. Jared says its because we are all girls at home and we don’t like video games as much as boys-could be!

 

This is Mae getting the corn ready.

I helped by cutting up the meat. It was so super tender and tasty!

It was such a beautiful day we had to eat outside!

Thanks Mae for the wonderful food and company!!!

The Gerber Baby

Today My Wonderful Love is working some jobs on the side to get us extra money for our DC trip, so the rest of us went to 7-Peaks. I didn’t take my camera so I have absolutely no pictures of any of it….so sad!!

5 seconds after we all got in the car My love called. I asked him if he was spying on us-he just laughed. Well The Mahoney’s had called to see if we could babysit their little baby Reagan. All of the kids yelled at the same time “YES"!” They love Reagan!! 

This is the cutes baby we know and she reminds us of the Gerber Baby so that is what we call her. She was a perfect angel the whole time and my kids were the best entertainers.

 

They played all over the house.

They played outside with the scooter and chalk.

 

Then they went to the sandbox. Not sure how happy her parents will be about this one.

She drank tons of milk thanks to Paris. When 9 rolled around she was exhausted and fell asleep in Tristan’s lap.

 

Well Paris wanted to have her on her lap too but when they did the switch they woke her up.

Her parents had gone to Ruth Chris for dinner up in Park City. They received money anonymously through the mail and were told to treat themselves to something nice. What a cool thing someone did for them!!!! We were so happy we got to help a little!

Friday Friends

So none of our Friday Friends showed up tonight. The Lloyds are busy, Terri’s sister is in town, and The Fox Den is driving through 10 states and 2 countries, so we finally got a Lloyd Night. The Lloyds get no show babysitting nights more than anyone in our group so we call them Lloyd Nights. This is our first. So we went out to dinner to a new place called Yamoto. It is a Japanese and Korean restaurant. It was actually very good and not very expensive. The waitresses are all dressed in kimonos. The kids all loved it!

I went off my cleanse 2 days ago so I had the Sake Nigiri and soup-yummy!!

I can’t believe this is a kids plate (in front of Esher) we only ordered two thank goodness. The kids ate and ate and we still took some home.

Summer Fun

Our super cool neighbor Janette who always has the coolest toys let us borrow her sprinkler to put under our tramp and the kids played and played. Ashley came over and all four of them had so much fun. I love it when Ashley comes to our home because she always includes each of our kids in every game and takes special care of Esher. And also, her favorite thing to do is clean-no joke!! So she got the kids to clean the crawl space before they played a store game. Last time she was here she washed both of the girl’s cars. She is always welcome in our home!!!!

They all had so much fun!!! Oh….. to be a kid again!!!

Ashley totally looks like a scene from the Matrix in this picture.
