We live in a neighborhood that likes it's parties! We have an annual neighborhood party, called Mtn. Vistas Days. This year, it was 2 days after my surgery, so I wasn't as involved as past years. Not that it was a bad thing!
The gals that headed it up this year did a great job! The kid parade was complete with firetruck escort! They had things at the church for the kids to decorate bikes with....that took some stress off the parents.
We did make it out to the 8am flag ceremony, just because it was across the street :)
There is Brandon on the yellow bike! We also attended the dinner. I sat for too long and was feeling awful, so Elise grabbed Mike's keys and took me home. Our neighbor, Andrew, is in a band. They were our after dinner entertainment and they rocked!!! They are really good and there was quite a dance going, I heard.
There is Sydney in the purple shirt riding Amanda's bike. It was nice this year that the kids were old enough to hang out at the 'inflatables' by themselves.
After dinner there was an outdoor movie, 'Diary of a Whimpy Kid' which everyone loved! I loved that I got to stay home in bed! :)
Our last week of summer consisted of Amanda's soccer tourney, which they won 2 out of 4 games. They have mostly new girls on the team, so it was a good time for them to learn to play together. They actually are having a great time adjusting and could really be good this year!
Brandon finished up swimming lessons and I think I have mentioned how awesome he did this summer in lessons.
Sydney had her cheer parent meeting and is super excited! They start after Labor Day and she can't wait!
Friday, we went and got our eyebrows waxed as our spa day before school started! B had to come with us, but he was fine playing his DS. Sydney was getting really worked up and did not like how hot the wax was. But, it all turned out nicely!
Saturday, after ballet, we headed to Salt Lake and did some back to school shopping with the kids. This day I also realized that my knee was completely swollen! I haven't had this problem for about a year, but seeing as how my last 2 weeks have gone, it doesn't surprise me! Put me out to pasture! But, I gimped along and we got the girls some cute shirts for school.
We went to my parents afterwards to celebrate the August birthdays! I also had Mike and my Dad give me a blessing. Never hurts to get one of those! We had a great time with the family and had to leave about the time it started raining so that Amanda could go watch the Morgan twins. We were exhausted after a long day, but wouldn't change any of it.
Sunday, I couldn't walk at all! But, Elise brought me some crutches and I spent the day in bed!
Today, I'm getting along better:) I saw the doc this morning and he said everything is healing really well, but to expect 2 to 3 more weeks before feeling completely normal.
So, that being said, no more complaining from me! I'm just glad things can only get better!
