Fire!

 I was jumping scared from my computer when Derek took me to my backyard to see this smoke fire. Holy Cow! It was from human caused-target shooting. (stomp the people's faces, you idiots)! We have Wii, Game boy, or/and computer to play with the guns instead to risk everything to set the fire on the FREAK DROUGHT land. I was nervous.

 I took the pictures of night time. I was amazing to see the orange fire that was still burning.

 We went to Millville today to see the land. There. You can see the black burned land. I was glad that wind was heading to east. The firefighters were doing pretty excellent job. Whew, a HUGE sighs.

 My neighbor showed me this pretty moon while our kids were playing outside. I was shocking to see this. Of course Jenna, tomorrow is full moon day. I took it in my kitchen's window.

I love to see this way. We don't see this too often. Sometimes it's helping us relax and enjoy to watch the beautiful moon that our God had created it for us.

Too Cute... I Have To Get The Pictures...

 Wyatt was pretending to be handyman. He hammered his Cars seat. Emma was playing with her toy phone.

 She knows the word of ABC's and 123's. Wow.

 Wyatt and Emma were on their phone, they were talking to each other.

 They must be learned from our families. We use our videophone with our own signs language. I was liking how did you know about telephone on your ear to talk through. Mmm, must be from our families, T.V., or something like that.

Too cute, I have to take the pictures of them to talk together. I can't tell how much cute they are.

Wyatt was just walking around in the house with his toy phone to talk with Emma, while she is sitting by Love Sac.

Memory

Ohh! I miss my yellow beetle car. I went to Desert food storage to collected my "grocery". My time went too fast since I had this car. I gave up my baby car-- I can't afford it. So I returned it to my parents after I got married. I bought a new car back in 2006. (Blue dodge neon car) I still has blue car since 6 years. It's still great car. Never has a bad problem with this car. Blue car was made in 2005. Oh well. For our sake, I drove a white Toyota van. (Just wanted to keep our memory) Also I want our kids to see what was my first car looks like. In future, there will be totally different looks style of beetle car.

Macey's Event

 Wyatt loved a bounce slide. Emma doesn't wanted to go because it's so hot on surface. Yes, their shoes required off.

 Emma has a purple ball, so do Wyatt has a blue ball. I think that's wasting of money to buy them a cheap toy. They tends to break things.

 Emma had a bright red on her face from the heat. I avoided the sun. I stood in a tent outside.

We wanted to take them to paint booth to paint their faces. (It's free, I am happy) Wyatt had a green dinosaur. Emma had butterfly.

We saw the old classic cars on parking lot. I didn't want to go because too bright sunshine HOT day. So we only took them for a bounce and paint face. There were a lot of the activities: shoot for pop sodas, throw the balls at target for person to drop into a bucket water, free cotton candy (we didn't get it--too sticky especially on a hot day), BBQ (pay, dang it!), old classic cars, you name it.

I wanted to go inside of Macey's for a short time to cool us off from the heat. Of course, cold water drink. I decided to shopping our groceries there to save our time to go another store. I am glad they had fun time.

I wish this activities start in the morning instead 12pm to 4pm. Oh well.

PS, yes I am complaining about the heat. I went to my utility bill office, asked the questions about the AC, bill, and budget. I was shocking that my bill increase up to $10 for AC from this stupid heat weather. So I decided to turn it up a little. 78 to 79 degree with the fans- they're helping A LOT. My budget will be comfort again soon.

I was surprising that this summer season is so different from normal. Mother Nature has a moody. Once upon a time, wild blizzard winter and now this wild dry with low humid hot summer. There are 400 fires in this state caused by humans. I was shocking. I am nervous about our Cache Valley. There is no fire here in Cache Valley just yet. It's starting in south Salt Lake City to St. George. I am trying to keep up to water my grass around of my house. It's not so GREEN grass yet. There are mixing of yellow and green color grass. It hard. Also we have the idiot grasshoppers too.

What Am I Doing Lately....

 I am currently working on a project: a light cardigan. I love the color of green. They are so light weight airy. Also 100% merino. I am planning for my sleeves -- up to elbow instead the long sleeves.

Last night, I was so exhausted from the kids. The kids were in bad behavior. We put them into their beds too early. I had enough. Because they were in boredom= meltdown. There are nothing to do during hottest of time in day. I don't want to go outside. The kids couldn't understand why. So I ignored them. I don't want my temper to be blown up. I couldn't understand why people have 4 children. I can't handle more than 2 kids. For myself, I don't like/fan of a BIG family. I always wanted to have 2 children, period. Some people said, oh you have plenty of time, or done for now, or oh, you are too young. So I had enough of these. TWO CHILDREN, PERIOD.

Anyway, they were bothering me all day yesterday while Derek was sleeping because he was working over-time. He's still working over-time this week too. It's making me go nut. So I want a small project to knitting -- the plain socks. I can put sock yarn, a counter, and needles in this little bag with a handle for arm. I can easily on the move or go. Oh yes, without a pattern. Hey, I am talent knitter. I can knit another project when the kids are calm down. If they are not calming down, I put my project away, grab a sock project and dealing with the trouble kids.

I used the swatch squares to made this little bag. I think that's great idea. I don't want to lose needle, drop, or lost my stitch while I am dealing the kids. A bag is protecting my project. I am happy about it.

Pool Day

 I love Emma's face down on pool. I think that's funny.

They are on "rodeo horse" pool. It's cause them to bounced up and down. Derek took them outside and filled the water with water hose to be pretend it's raining when a water hose is up. I didn't went outside because I can't stand the heat.

They had fun time.

Prophet Joseph Smith Statue

Derek's parents, Khalil and Sheri went on their 40th wedding anniversary vacation in Nauvoo. They bought the statues for each of our families. I love it. I wanted a temple statues. But at least we got a prophet statue. Reason why I want a temple to remind us of our wedding in Bountiful temple. I never have any of our LDS church statue in my house. We watched "movie" from their camera's memory card about their trip.

The kids were playing with their cousin, Kiera in their grandparents' house. We went to Derek's parents' house for Father's Day. We have dinner together. The kids went in a hot tub with daddy and uncle Shawn. I don't most of time go in a hot tub. Derek loves a hottest tub. I only go in, in my own bath in bathroom with right water temperature. Also the chemicals itch me.

 Aidyn (behind the kids), Emma, Wyatt, and Kiera. Shawn took the pictures of them. Derek asked him to sent the pictures for us.

 Wyatt and Kiera dressed Emma up.

 They are just cute kids.

Summerfest 2012

Summerfest! I love it. We went there every summer since I got married. This year, this time, there were TONS of foods than before. I bought pina colada drink with a real coconut cup. Delicious! Love it. Derek and I saw Hawaii pork with rice booth, we immediately went and bought it. We love pulled pork with rice. We bought snowie drink for the kids. They had blue raspberry. I forgot to bring a camera with me.

We went to the many booths. Once upon a time, back in 2009, there was yarn booth. This year, there is no yarn booth, only quilts. :(

The kids were in their stroller to be safety and stay glue with us. Fun. We went there at 7pm. I don't like hot weather like 4pm. I prefer in the morning but Derek wanted his sleep. At least, we went!

Ohh Manos!

 Finally, they are here at my house. I ordered them a few days ago. I also ordered another one skein and another 3 different kind of yarns. I am waiting for them to arrive here too.

 So pretty color. It is wildflower color.

 Manos del Uruguay. Sport weight.

 Oh my, baby alpaca+pima cotton. So soft to touch.

 Look at them, they are piling up together.

More view of color with window open. (mouth drooling) Oh! excuse me. I can't resist to look away from them.

Yeah, sorry if this is bored for you guys, but I am fell in love over them. :) Of course, I do love Derek so much. ;)
