And so,the conclusion of this summer is almost here and many things have happened in it's presence.

School ended in June, welcoming the Summer vacation. I then went to my first Girls Camp at John Knox Ranch. I only got to sleep in my cabin once,the other two nights we slept on the floor in the dining hall due to rain. Nonetheless I had a good time. A week later I went to a Strengthening & Conditioning Camp to make me buff and strong. During that same month we found out that Sadie was pregnant. Also, our pool turned green and we were not able to swim in it for some time.Very sad occasion.

In July, we decided to drain the pool,clean it, then fill it back up again. And so we did. Only to realize that the pump was broken and we weren't able to fix it. So we swam in it every day so that the pool wasn't unstirred for too long. But,without the pump and with the heat, the pool turned green yet again. And so now we have only a few inches of very green water in our backyard.

But on a lighter note, I went to a Science Camp for 2 weeks. Loads of fun. My most memorable thing: the brain. On the 3rd day of Science Camp,we were given the high privilege of disecting a brain. So, before we start, the teacher walks over to a bucket and pulls out a nice big juicy human brain. He sets it on a tray and walks around the room with it to show every body. Then he walks over to the chalkboard to write something down and sets the brain on the table, the table that I happen to be sitting at. And so, naturally, I stare at the brain disgusted, and wishing that it will be removed from my sight as soon as possible. But, instead, the teacher finished writing on the board and left to talk to the rest of class. And so I am left with this brain set right in front of me, to look at for 3 hours.Joy. But besides that the rest of my experiences were very nice.

Then we found out that Maria was pregnant also. Very exciting. So we now have two babies on the way, one in January and one in March. And Sadie-Belle had her birthday on the 22nd and she is now 19.

This month, August, not too much has happened. Jazzy flew out to Utah to see her friends weddings and stayed with Elizabeth and her family. She recently came home and now our house is loud and happy again. Next week Maria should be coming down and staying for almost a week which should be lots of fun. And Elizabeth is still deciding if they want to come down or not. Then on the 22nd is Mother's birthday and on the 24th school starts up again! Crazy how fast this summer has gone by. And now comes not only the conclusion of Summer, but also this post.
See ya!
