We have had a very eventful, very fun, very busy week with “uncle Connor” in town! We have been to the beach a few times, wild rivers, the fair, out to eat, shopping, swimming at the pool, movies , family BBQ etc. I have enjoyed my brother here. He has been a big help with the girls. I have appreciated the quick trip to the store, dinner out with friends, and today he took the girls to the park so I could clean the house and catch up on some laundry. Connor is a little shy but we got to spend some time together with out the girls the other day and did some school shopping for him. We found some amazing deals. My little brother is easy to please and some times you almost forget he is around he is so quiet. Which I have to say is so opposite from all of us Hemeon’s. I hope his quiet example rubs off on my kids. Ha ha. I rarely seem to get a quiet moment at home until the kids are all in bed and then I am exhausted!

There is so much more to say but I better go to bed so I can try to be “nice mom” tomorrow because we have quite another eventful day planned meeting friends in the morning then later in the day a BBQ at the beach for our good friend Karly’s 30th birthday.

I have so many great pictures it was hard to choose so bear with me here.

The girls are growing up so fast. I was surprised they wanted to and are able to ride a roller coaster alone!

My favorite exhibit was the Bonzai!

Kaili sneak attacks Maren. The had fun on the mini bumper cars. They rode 3 rides and played 3 games but

wanted more. I had already spent almost as much as it would have cost to get the wrist bands, darnet!

FYI to any of you who go to the fair I suggest getting the $20 unlimited ride wristbands!

The girls wouldn’t leave the fair with out their cotton candy. But I am glad we left and

had dinner at Wahoo’s instead of eating the super expensive nasty carnival food.

We finally got Connor in the ocean. Only once so far but we will try again tomorrow.

Maren and Kaili were so stoked to see their friends Paige and Kate at the beach!

Isn’t he a cutie pie!

Kaili and Sailor were the silliest girls at the beach.

Avery Maren & Cate

Couldn’t pass up a stop to see the worlds biggest slipper

I enjoyed some time together with Connor who is 16 years younger than I so we really

do not know each other very well but we do have skin color in common. Yup, we both have

the cursed white skin when all of our other sibling are so dark. When he was a baby people

used to think he was mine! Yikes — I was a bit mortified being 16 at the time but that’s what

you get in Happy Valley when there are so many young mom’s! Now when I visit I can’t help

but notice all the moms who truly do look like teenagers. CRAZY
