Wyatt's Birthday

This morning we went with our neighbors the Barnes and the Browns to the American Fork Steele Days Carnival. The kids had fun and I think Wyatt thought it was the best birthday party ever! I can't believe he's !!

Summer Fun

I know I've been a bad blogger, but here are some pictures of our summer:

Today is Wyatt's birthday so I'll post pictures from the fun events later.

If you read this blog, then you are invited. If you don't know my address, email me, erinmehler@gmail.com, and I would be happy to give it to you. If you can't make it but want to order some Scentsy stuff anyway, you can check out the catalogue, go to www.scentsy.com/erinm. I will be having specials that you will only be able to purchase through this party and I will post those on my blog the day of the party.
Hopefully I'll see you there!

Let the movies begin!

So the highlight this weekend was definately watching movies in the backyard! We decided to have a "campout" in the backyard on Thursday night. We had kind of a "progressive dinner" but it wasn't all dinner. It was so fun and if any of you want to copy us on the next holiday, here's what we did.

We started at my sister in law Hollie's house- she provided dinner. Then we drove to Ginger's (about 5 minutes away) and had ice cream sunday's in the back yard. Next we drove to our house where we watched a movie (we rented a projector from computer solutions in AF and put a sheet up on the house... SO MUCH FUN!!) We had set up the tents earlier that night and all camped out in the back yard! We woke up Friday morning the 4th and Hollie, Mark and I cooked breakfast for everyone (thanks for the help Hollie). Then everyone went home to shower and get ready for the next part. So later on Friday we all went up to Mark's mom's house in Sandy where she had set up a swimming pool and one of those giant blow up water slides. (We missed that part because Maddi wasn't feeling well) then we all ate dinner- did fireworks and finished off the day watching the Sandy City fireworks show!

Phew, what a Holiday. We had the projector until This morning so we watched movies on Saturday night and again last night out in the backyard! It was sooo much fun, Mark and I are super tempted to buy a projector now! Who knows, every weekend we might have a movie night for the rest of the summer- that would be fun.

Need more free time???

I have just the way to free some up for you! Hire someone else to clean your house... and I know just the girl!!

My friend Jody is a single mom, she is trying hard to find work that will allow her to spend as much as much time with her 4 yr old little girl as possible. She is INCREDIBLE at cleaning homes. Okay, so I haven't used her yet, but I'm going to. My really good friend Jen just switched to her though. She has been through 3 cleaning agencies in the last year and says that Jody does the best job at cleaning out of anyone she has used, hands down! She is thrilled with the job she does.

Jen says, "She charges $20 per hour. She cleans some houses just once, some every other week, and some houses every week - it's pretty much up to the client. So if you or anyone you know needs some help from an AWESOME cleaner (and I'm not just saying that - she cleans houses better than any of the companies we've had come to our house!)"

So if any of you have been thinking about having someone come help you out on a regular basis, or even one time, email or call me.

I know I'm tempting all of you!!!

It may not get better until September.

Busy. That's how I would describe the last month and that's my excuse for everything lately.

I do have some fun things to share though...

Last week was the Lehi Roundup week. Lehi has lots of different events and activities going on all week long such as the Monday night picnic in the park; cowboy poetry; a big Bazaar in the park and other fun activities. One of the activities we went to was last Tuesday. My sister in law entered her little girl in the Lehi Baby Contest. I have thought about entering this with my own kids every year since we have lived here, but just haven't ever gotten around to it. So my sister in law came over to borrow one of Maddi's old dresses and we decided to watch her little girl in the contest. When we got there I found out that Wyatt was still young enough (by about a month, the cutoff is age 3) to enter the contest. I wasn't going to do it, but my in laws talked me into it. I had to borrow money from my other sister in law just to pay the entry fee. Anyway, I am glad that I did enter him because he got up in front of those judges, sang a couple of songs, and talked to them for a minute and ended up winning 2nd place! It's always nice as a mom when you have it reaffirmed that your kids are cute - since we all think our own kids are the cutest!

On a side note... my niece was ripped off. She was by far the cutest little girl in her age group! She was super tired though and not feeling up to showing her cute self to the judges. Plus the kids in her age group that did win were all decked out in elaborate costumes. We had no clue that people went to extreme lengths for their kids to win. Next year though, I think my sister in law should enter her again and deck her out in something cute. She is seriously the most darling 2 year old little girl I know!

So, that was Tuesday (after the kid's dentist appointments). Wednesday and Thursday I worked. (This is something new that some of you may not know. I am working 2 days a week this summer as a temp for my sister Lisa. That's right... she's my boss! It's a ton of fun and I am having a blast doing it, but it's only temporary. Probably until the middle of August.) Then on Friday I watched my friend Cherises two... YES TWO sets of twins for about 3 hours until my sister came and took over for me so that Mark and I could take the kids to the Lehi Rodeo. We go every year and it is so much fun. One of the highlights of our summer. Then on Saturday morning we got up, took the kids to the Lehi Parade and then drove up to Sandy to meet Mark's brother and sisters and their families and took all the kids to Lagoon until about 10pm!

So it has been busy, and it's not letting up until school starts! But I guess it's better than being bored all summer. We might as well enjoy it right!!

WOW,Thanks!

I really appreciate everyone who entered my contest! No, really... so much that I am going to give a consolation prize to everyone who entered!! Just email me your address and I'll stick it in the mail... and trust me, it's a good one!

Now for what you all really want to know.... the Grand Prize winner (drumroll) Sara Wells of Meridian Idaho, it's your lucky day!! You have just won yourself a Scentsy Warmer and Bar of your choice! So check out my catalog and let me know what you want.

Thanks again to all who entered and don't forget to email me to recieve your gift bag!

Thanks,
Erin

**Disclaimer: Winner was determined by putting all entries names in a bowl and drawing a random winner. This contest was not rigged, except for Jenn, I'm sorry, I didn't put you in it. You know why. For those of you who don't know why, don't worry, I'm not being mean, she's my Scentsy Director and it would be so completely unfair if she won.
