Ordinary Simple Pleasures of Life

 And we jumped back into the swing of things right away.  Jena and Kaitlyn hung out at the UDSF Annual Summer Pool party in Roy for Davis and Weber Counties.  It was great to visit with some many families which we only see a couple of times a year.

These cute things arrived in the mail.  For some reason, having twins seems like an extra special thing so I can do some extra things....so these are swaddles with the names which have been chosen for the twins--Carter Ann and Alex Rae.  (Side note:  We had to reorder Alex's hat as the purple was off from the purples in the swaddle.)  Expect to see some photos with babies in these hats and swaddled in these named swaddles in a month or so.

Saturday, August 11 was a special day because we took Scarlett to her first production at the Hale Theatre.  In the Jewel box theatre, they did a special showing of Pinocchio for children ages three and up.  We got tickets for her birthday and Gary, Jena and I got to join her at the show.  She loved the costumes, music and dancing, although she wanted to know why the kids on stage did not wave at her when she waved at them. (Jena and I had ushered right before at the Center Pointe Theatre in Centerville, which is why we have matching white shirts and black skirt/pants.)

Dinner at Wendy's afterwards...it was fun.  I hope to take her and the other grandkids to the theatre from time to time.  I am sure that some will love it and others will not, which is fine.  One of the joys of children is to introduce them to the variety of experiences in life and let them decide what makes them happy...but they truly, hopefully, will all love the beach and the ocean!!!

I loved spending time with just Scarlett and then an hour or so, hanging out with James and Scarlett playing outside in their neighborhood while Gary and Scott talked.

Just the ordinary simple pleasures of life!
