1. Catching up with laundry- yep one more load and I'll be caught up!

2. Boating with my Laurels. We took six of my eight laurels (the 16-18 year old girls that I teach at church) out on the boat last night. It was such a blast. These girls were all pretty gutsy out on the tube and the wakeboard. They were seriously so much fun. I love those girls to death. Jake even said how impressed he was with them- not just for all being "gutsy" but because they were all so kind and fun- not pettiness or cattiness. I'm so lucky to get to know these girls.

3. Education week and BYY mint brownies. Jake's Dad and stepmom are staying with us this week while they go to education week. Its fun to get a report every night on the highlights of the classes they attended- oh and the brownies they brought us home last night were pretty divine as well.

4. My sister Karina's adventures. My sister Karina just got to Florida yesterday to start her internship at Disneyworld. She seems to be loving it so far. It's exciting to watch her go through such a fun adventure!

5. Blessings for friends. My friend Becca, who's been staying with us this summer is staying at another friend's house this week while Jake's dad is here. She called last night though to tell us that she's found a room to rent starting in September. Becca's been such fun to have around that we really will miss her! She's always so helpful with the boys, and she's a great one to have around when I need "girl time"- yet we knew this was temporary. Luckily she won't be too far away- just a few minutes away in Lehi. I'm excited for her because I could tell she really felt good about the house, roommate, and location that she found!

6. Josh's curls. I just LOVE Josh's "surfer" curls. Now that his hair is longer and it shows off his curls more he gets compliments all the time. Of course, with longer hair it can get pretty crazy looking too- but I think its adorable. I've wanted to grow out his hair for a long time- but when he was younger his finer hair would just get too frowy and tangled- but now that its thicker it grows out better.
