Last week...in review

Wow. It has been a little crazy getting back to normal life after camp. Blogging just hasn't even been a desire. haha. I feel like each day I have had something to do during my free from Ko time and I have usually choosen to take a nap, go out by myself or read Breaking Dawn. First about that. I am not done yet, I have been trying to read it slower as I am not sure I want it all to end. I am a little more than half way and so far thoughly enjoying it. (Dont worry Cicely I will read it all by next Thursday since you have now put a deadline on me! Ü) So here is the top 5 things from last week!
1-Going to the beach...this never ceases to make the list

KO Ko playin at the beach

Zaner man and Olivia...can I please have one of them, they are so cute!
Kassidy and Tessy! Cute little twiners!
2-Packing a few boxes with Phil's help. For some reason I refuse to go get the boxes out of the basement without Phil's help (that some reason being that I think there are spiders where the boxes are) Phil and I were able to get some things from the basement packed or re-packed. We have also sold A TON of our stuff, and are down to only bringing home our bedroom furniture, Koen's bedroom furniture and BOXES! YAHOO! Everyday I deal with the to pack or not to pack? I have decided I am just not really ready. I am not ready to take down my decorations and make this home of mine just a house again. I am not ready to say goodbye to Erie and my friends. Therefor I choose not to pack...haha at least the stuff that make my home a home, not yet anyway.
3-Koen's first experience with a lic a stick! So cute!



4-Nate, Gina and Kade coming up for the weekend. It had been WAY to long and was so good to see them. Too bad we didn't snap any pics of the boys!
5-Cafe Rio night. We had some of our friends over to have wanna be Cafe Rio. Good food, Good company...what is better?Suz, Levi and Nate Gina and Kade
Dark dark Steve and Yara
Yikes this is not a very good pic, but I needed to show I was there!
YUMMY! Pretty good imitation!
Kids at play...I LOVE out backyard...minus the bugs!
Brook, Skip and Matt

Leash Like chels...my gils had to watch the little video 3 times...they loved watching little Ko! Sounds like a fun week...I love the Cafe Rio too...but last time I made it we had to eat it for like a week and I got a little burnt out but Carisa loves it so I put a little time in between and I think I am ready to make it again, just not so much this time...Hey call me soon, I have some things to tell you!

Ya, I read The Host. I liked it but not near as much as the Twilight series. Did you read it? It was good but the whole time I read it I was thinking that I would rather be reading Twilight! :) He He He. Ok, So yesterday I finished Breaking Dawn and now that I have finished it I like it more. You will have to let me know how you like it when you finish.

I'm glad you finally did a new post, it had been way too long, especially for you! Yeah, my face in the paintballing pictures is hilarious! Obviously I don't do a very good mean face and I'm not very intimidating. LOL. Gotta love Cafe Rio! Remember when we would go like once a week back in college? What were we thinking?!

Angie said...

I so understand the not packing thing. I didn't start until the week we moved. I avoided it at all costs. Then I didn't have to face moving and good byes' nearly as soon!
I loved Breaking Dawn. I wasn't ready for it to end either. So.. I read Breaking Dawn twice in two weeks!

Danielle said...

Yum! Fake Cafe Rio? You'll have to teach me how to make it! Can't wait to have you back in Utah.

I was missing your posts! You guys are always doing such fun stuff! I love the cafe rio night. I would totally have to do that if I didn't have it right down the street. I am excited you are getting so close to moving back!

Levi and Suzi said...

Thanks, again for hosting the Cafe Rio party...definitely lived up to the hype! I'll definitely have to try the real thing back in the wild west. :) Love the pic of Kassidy and Tess!

Hayley said...

Ko is so cute! I remember those lick a stick... were they called dip sticks?? Man, I used to love those!!! YAY for sugar. :)

Giron Family said...

Just had REAL Cafe Rio yesterday! Mmm, so good but made me feel so nasty the rest of the day.
I'm laughing cause you sound like your mom,"I need whitt to bring the boxes up from the basement.." I dunno know why but I remember her always saying that.
Good luck with the packing. Can't wait till your back in the great state for UTAH!

Kris and Brent said...

Cute pictures, Lesh! Koen is getting so big! The video made me smile - I used to love that candy, too. I still can't believe that you guys will be home in less than a month.....YIPPEE!!! P.S. I'm trying to read Breaking Dawn slowly, too -- I don't want it to end!

Joan Peterson said...

I truly enjoy ALL your posts. Great stuff.
Love, Nana

I love the pictures and I am psyched to have you guys back here! I can imagine it is hard to say good-bye to a major part of your life and packing up only makes it more real. I know you guys are excited to move back here and be with family, but you have made your friends your family there and I'm sure they are sad to see you go.

I am loving the Twilight series and join the ranks of "Edward lovers"

Cafe Rio is a definite favorite of mine and I certainly don't get there enough. We will have to go when you move back here and make it a mom and kids day out!!
