This is my best attempt at combining a couple of pictures--all the boys have had a great time "sleeping over" in Ben's room the last couple of weeks. Ben is sleeping in his bed on the left, Will is in the bed on the right, and Jake is on the floor, which he was pretty happy about.
The night I took this picture, Ben had set out his whole outfit for the next day. As you can see, when Ben gets into something, he dives into it all the way. He's almost there with the whole Indiana Jones outfit.
Thursday night was the first of many "girl's night's out" for me. This one was with all the girly girls on Daren's side of the family. We met in Sandy to go see the movie Mama Mia, and it was a blast. For one thing, I love being with all these "girl's" and I'm very fortunate to belong to such a great family, and two, I love ABBA, so I loved all the music in the movie. After the movie was over Susan (in the green jacket) and her two sisters, Janyce and Patty, performed their own rendition of ABBA in the halls of Jordan Commons--they were hilarious. Grandma Cox joined us too, and we figured that a "chick flick" was a good way for all of us to get together.
I had to take a few final swimming shots of the year. Photo 1: the twins wearing their goggles, at least for a short time, and photo 2: Leslie and Ben, peeking out during the rain storm.

It was quite rainy Friday morning, and we weren't even sure they would have swimming lessons, but eventually it was good enough to start. You can see that Will had a great time floating on his back while trying to catch some of the falling rain in his mouth.
We had to get this shot of all our swimming buddies at the end of the swim season: Will, Jake, Ben, Leslie, and Hunter Bennion.
Another fun thing Daren and I did this week was to go to the Salt Lake City Firefighter's Annual Steak Fry. Daren works with some great people on that job, and it was fun to hang out with them and eat some good food--no picutres though.
I have spent a lot of time this week getting ready for the rest of my "girls out" times. I'm in Bear Lake right now with many of my friends I grew up with--we come here every year, but I'll write about that when I get home on Sunday. Then on Monday I will be leaving for 5 days to go to girl's camp, and Daren has willingly volunteered to be Mr. Mom all these times while I am gone. It's a true test for him, but he's the "fun dad," so it will be great. I won't have much time in between, so I had to do a lot to get ready before I came here. Now it's way too late tonight, and I'm the last one up, so I'd better go get some good zzzzzz's before it's not so easy to come by!

You're in the middle of some "fun times" it seems. We agree, Mama Mia is blast; ABBA is some our favorite music of all time! We couldn't help notice, however, how they "sexied up" the movie version.
