Budd Family Reunion- August 2012

 

We had a Budd Family Reunion up in Heber. There were cute little cabins and fun things to do. Ryan and I didn't stay overnight, but we went to see everyone.

 

 

My mom brought Grandma and Grandpa up to see everyone and say hi. Of course Grandma and Celeste were happy to be with each other.

 

 

The kids favorite thing was the firepit.

 

 

My cousin Jessica's boys on the left with my brother Josh's son Zack on the right. They all look so much a like.

It is always fun being with the Budds.

More end of Summer Fun! Summer 2012

 

I took Brooklynn and Caleb to the Health and Safety Fair. There was lots to see and do. They got to meet one of the Pilots that works with Ryan. They also got to see some real dinosaur bones, do an experiment and more...

 

 

 

FHE: Upcycling Crayons and we talked about saving the planet and then watched The Lorax!

 

 

 

 

Ryan and my Dentist Office moved locations and so they had a big fair. Ryan had to work so Terra came with me to take the kids. They had a lot of fun. Ate a lot of junk food, painted faces, jumped in bounce houses and played games! We wore them right out!

 

 

 

 

 

We went to visit Ryan at work one night. The kids Love going to see the helicopter.

 

 

Of course they have to sit inside and try on the helmet. Grandma and Grandpa came with us to see the helicopter for the first time too!

 

 

 

Towards the end of August we had a nice summer rain. So the kids had to play inside. (one of my favorite pictures of them)

 

Princess McKenna reading!

 

All boy Cam playing cars.

 

Big Sis Brooklynn taking care of little ones.  So like all their personalities.

 

 

 

It was getting hard to keep thinking of new activities for the kids. We were all definately ready for school to start.

 

So we did some art!

 

 

Of course they loved every minute of it.

 

 

 

We went to watch another one of Cameron's bike races.

 

 

Love supporting lil' bro!

 

 

Of course each time he is getting better and better!

 

 

He got another trophy.

 

 

Another FHE rolled around and so we made fun Fish Rice Krispy Treats, read our new Aquarium book and watched Finding Nemo.

 

 

We also played a game with Daddy before he went to work.

 

Kids LOVE the Merry go Round at the Zoo!

 

 

I've got a bunch of monkeys with me!

 

 

Train ride...

 

 

I had a great time spending the summer with the kiddos!

Family Home Evening- Summer 2012

 
 

 

The kids LOVE the book Goodnight Moon. So for FHE we decided to act it out.

 

 

It was so funny. They did such a good job. It is crazy that all 3 kids practically have the story memorized.

 

The next week we kept on the story theme and they had different ideas to write a story.

Then they each drew one out.

 

 

 

 

The story was about a Knight named Randolf who goes to school and gets bad grades.

 

 

They drew pictures first and then told me what to write.

 

 

Ta Da! A story by the Oldroyd kids! Look for it in book stores.

 

 

Grandma Budd- Summer 2012

 

 

I got a call from my mom that my Grandma Budd was in the hospital. I rushed over to their house to pick some things up and then went over to the hospital. Of course my grandma said nothing was wrong. She felt fine and she was making jokes as usual. She was just being silly.

 

 
 

They knew that something was going on with her lung, but needed more tests. The doctors sent her home. I went over to their house about 3-4 times a week to visit her. I gave her a manicure one day. She just loved it!

 

 

My mom had to work and so she asked me to take Grandma to her doctor apt. She was so funny and cute. She couldn't remember where we were and why we were there. She thought that she was going with me to the doctors. Love her!

 

So they found that one of her lungs was collapsed and there seemed to be a mass pushing on it. They decided to leave it up to family if they wanted to do a scope or not. I recorded him talking so I could give it to my mom. He said that he recommended the scope, but no matter what they find they couldn't do surgery, because of her age.  My mom and her siblings decided to do the scope.

 

 

Cameron's Bike Race

 

We decided to try Cameron in some bike racing. Before it starts the older kids practice on the track. We had to wait awhile until Cameron's race started.

 

 

Tyler came with us to check it out.

 

 

Cameron did awesome! He loved it.

 

 

We can't wait until he tries it out on a pedal bike.

 

 

Going up the hills were tough!

 

 

 

Winner Winner- Chicken Dinner!
