Oh What FUN!!

Oh what a FUN week we had. Last Thursday Jesi was out playing with the neighborhood kids. I walked outside with Sami and she decided to come running up to us. But little did she know that her body had other plans. She tripped on a black downspout tube and face planted it into the side of the window well. She gave herself a fat lip, bloody nose, and bruised gums. Luckily she didn't break any teeth or bones. She did have a pretty face for a few days though. Poor kid.

OUCH!!!! The Damage!

Have I mentioned how much I love our new neighborhood. Our neighbor's are great people. We have had so much fun this summer with everyone.

On Friday we decided to go to South Ogden to a "Splash Pad". This is in the middle of a neighborhood at a regular park. The water is turned on from Memorial Day till Labor Day. How awesome is this? The kids loved it.

Adrienne and her boys got there before we did since my kids had to do a few chores before we could go. When we finally got there, this is what we found.

This was the first time I had taken the "big" girls. I had gone before with Adrienne, Jake, Colin, & Sami. It was so fun that I decided to take the girls. They loved it and can't wait to be able to go back next summer.

After a little while, Jami, Bridger, & Foster came to play. They weren't so sure about the water and ended up just hanging out for a while. My girls love these little boys. They will go over to their house and just hang out forever. The boys love Kelly too. When he gets home from work, they come running and want to wrestle with him. We really have been blessed to have such great neighbors on all sides of us.

Sami loved just being outside. She was such a happy baby.

Saturday we went to a Ogden Raptors Baseball game. After the first 2 innings, we got another fun surprise. We were sitting just left of home plate and up about 6 rows. We were enjoying the game when a foul ball was hit. The ball bounced off the roof and came down and slammed Jesi in the back of the head. I saw it coming but was holding Sami. I ducked so it wouldn't hit Sami and didn't think about anything else. Little did I know it would get Jesi instead. Poor kid. First her face and then the back of her head. The Raptors Doctor came and checked her out and brought her a bag of ice. She cried for a few minutes and then was back to being herself. A kid a few rows over caught the ball. He felt sorry for her for being hit, so he came over and gave her the ball for a souvenir. It was so nice of him. She loved being able to bring home the weapon. She wouldn't let me take a picture of her with the ball, so all you get is the story.

Monday was Labor Day. We decided to drive up Ogden Canyon and see what we could find. We ended up at Monte Cristo on the way to Wyoming. It was a beautiful place. Lots of camping sites and trees. We found a really cool place we want to camping at next year when Sami is a little bigger. It reminded me a lot of Island Park. We can't wait to be able to go back.

All in all it was a very interesting few days.
