What shall we do?!

Ashton had a fun weekend camping! They went to San Diego and Coronado Island. They visited the Mormon Battalion. They rode on a Trolley that felt like a roller coaster and Aunt Briana lost her hat! :) Ashton told us all about every detail when he got home, took about 30 minutes. :) LOVED hearing ALL about it! :)

Ashton got an early birthday present from grammy...much needed.

BEFORE...

 Uncle Norris came over to help put it together. :) Thanks Uncle Norris! You're the best!

 Ashton was his BIG helper!

 AFTER...

In the midst of all of this excitement our air conditioner broke. We flipped the braker and the air lasted in the blasted heat for the night and then by the next morning it was done, no more air conditioner. We called my dad, he had his guy come over and he said..."need a new one!" (in so many words) :0 Was going to come back to install the next day. What were we to do all day, couldn't stay in our house, we would bake for sure! So, we went to the beach. We left at about 1:00 and got there about 2:00. We played at the beach for several hours. I even went boogie boarding with Sierra. So much fun! Then we left the beach and went to Duke's for dinner. After dinner we drove home about 7:00. We showered (took cold showers) in our 90 degree house. Put on jammies and had a sleepover at Terry and Janelle's. We came home the next morning cuz they were going to install our new precious air conditioner and Ashton had a karate lesson but his Sensai had car trouble and didn't show. Take advantage of cold air until it's not there anymore. SO grateful for air conditioner!!! What a fun day and evening at the beach though!
Ashton got to give his talk in Primary last Sunday! He had practiced a ton so it would help with his nerves. He was SO cute! His talk was on Honesty. He was shaking and his voice was quivering when he first stood up there. I could tell he was nervous. He asked me later, "mom, I was shaking. Could you see I was shaking?" I told him I could but it was because I am his mom. I don't think anyone else knew he was nervous.
We had dinner at my dad's last Sunday cuz it was my dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! xoxo
Trina took pictures of our family too. Can't wait to see them.
Briana announced that they are having another baby...Trina announced too! :)
Sierra made cupcakes, delicious cupcakes for the Bartley Open House last night.
Sierra also got to shave her legs for the first time last night. WHOA! Going into 6th grade. Was going to have to wait until she is 12 (she's 11 1/2) but people would say stuff to her about her hairy legs, I'm sick of the drama. She has to shave her armpits anyways. Want to make her as comfortable as possible to start a new school year.
And...we don't start for another week! :) What are we going to do?!
