It's been a pretty and fun busy week for us. Unlike Mom and Dad Krogue who are putting the finishing touch on their botanical gardens, we're struggling (somewhat unsuccessfully) to keep the dandilions from taking over the yard and to get the grass to look a little greener. We spent part of today picking out some of the weeds, spraying others and applying fertilizer. We also got the sprinklers turned on for the season.
Yesterday we got the news that Ryan and Colin had been accepted into the spectrum (full-time gifted and talented) program. In Davis county this is quite an accomplishment (they accept about 2 kids per school per grade). Unfortunately the elementary school with the program is a 22 minute drive. Ryan and Colin are unsure they want to leave their friends. We have to decide one way or the other by the end of the month. Any thoughts?
Last night I took Ryan and Colin to see Chimpanzee. It was an enjoyable film about an unlikely chimp adoption story. We really liked it.
Today we went out to the Bingham Canyon Mine to take the tour. Ryan and Colin absolutely loved it, and Jackson went along for the ride. Mason was perpetually bored, but what else is new. It was fun to see the big trucks, the huge open pit and learn new things. They have quite the operation.

On the way home we swung by the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was really pretty and there were several wedding parties loitering around the grounds.
And no day would be complete without ice cream of course!
