Okay Okay, I'm so sorry! I know I haven't posted something for a really long time. So many things were going on in this little house and not enough time to complete them. But here are a few events that have taken place in the last month. We have had a great summer. We have been able to hang out with family, friends and furry eight legged creatures. So anyway, here it is, the updated Blog of The Call's.
OH MY BIG FREAKING SCARY SPIDER!!!!!!
So here is the story (by the way looking at this picture makes my skin crawl), I went to pull the garbage can away from the wall so I could get the liner out, "ahhhhhhh what the heck is that" I yelled and then rushed me and the girls into the living room where we sat till Marshall took care of it. Well he took a pic before he did anything. He sat there for the longest time trying to figure out what to do. He took our swiffer and went to do it and he yells "It's looking at me!" and I yelled "kill it"! so he did and then he screams "oh my crap it has babies, it is aracnophobia over here!" and all these little babies were just scattering up the wall, the floor the cupboard. So marshall grabbed some bug spray and killed them all. After he got the mess all cleaned up he looked at the camera and he goes "oh my gosh! you can see the eyes of the babies on here"! That is so gross! And there just happen to be this battery on the floor next to it to show how big this sucker was. Marshall calls it the rodent killer. And everytime the story is told the spider gets bigger, but here is a pic to prove how big this flesh eater was!

Second day of school and we have homework.
Makayla had to make a person that looked like her so we did and had fun doing it. She also had a pattern paper she had to do where she made up her own pattern sequences..I helped her with it and I felt so cool, like a real mom! i'm a dork! I know!
"Mom you don't need to take me, I can walk!" A little convincing got her into the car..it is about a mile away..
Ellie wants to go to school so bad. She wanted to try sisters back pack on and pretend for a minute
Here we go again, Can't wait to get in those doors!

First day of school and No Fear whatsoever! Makayla was so excited and she loved her first day. She came running in when Dad picked her up to tell me how her first day went.
Welcome Kindergarteners!!
Just walking right in..no fear!
This was an entire family event. We were all so excited for Kindergarten!
Okay now a little nervousness sets in for about....
30 seconds! She walked right in, went to her hook and then stood to sing National Anthem...I got a bit teary eyed until Marshall called me a boob! tee hee..Ellie wanted to be with her sister so bad.

After the ATK trip we drove over to Golden Spike and saw a short film on how this place came about. I think it is so cool how many amazing events took place right here in my home state. I think it is pretty cool. We watched them put the trains away into their little sheds. The girls loved the trains and thought they were pretty awesome.
The race was on...which train and company would reach this point first. No.119 or Jupiter
Family in front of Jupiter
The last railroad tie and spike placed here, and my funky lookin feet
No. 119 Union Pacific
After we saw the trains we had a picnic in the parking lot. I'm so glad we stopped at all these places. These are things are probably would have never seen if I hadn't been traveling out that way already. This picture is a little dark but they were so exhausted. They slept the rest of the way home!

On our way home from the reunion we took a detour and went to see the Rocket Garden at ATK. I think it is at Promontory Point. It was really cool to see all the different materials were made here for the space shuttle.
ATK Rocket Garden. This is where Marshall's brother Otto works. This is displayed in front of the buildings there. I can't remember where it is but it is out in the middle of nowhere! This Rocket Garden was really impressive.

Ellie was so tired and sick of traveling. Her attitude definately showed by the end. Poor thing had had enough!
I can't remember what this was called but it was huge to. Mom and Kayla.
Dad standing in front of this gynormous rocket. I wish I would have written everything down so I could remember what each one was. The two on either side were missiles. The one on the right was used in Desert Storm.

I caught my first fish! Well my fish story goes like this...This is really my second fish and the first one was bigger and got away!
Morgan loved this puppy of Kayla's but what is funny is Kayla stuck this on her head and she kept it there.
This was such a fun game, it is called Nertz. We had up to 6 people playing at one time which made it challenging but way fun!
More Nertz
More swimming, Ellie was doing really good with her floaties and Kayla was doing great without her floaties. They both love to swim!
All Cozy in our tent. They slept great in the tent!
