Updating Front Window

Sunny weather before the Fall rain calls for a outside window replacement project. Anthony with the help of Grandpa Dan replaced a window. Getting things done on the check list. Picture of them putting in the framing.

Walking Babies

"Want to go to the park." Girls reply calmly, "No." "You can bring your babies." Mad dash to claim which baby, blankets, bottles and strollers they are claiming for the perfect baby picnic at the park.

New Car

Dinosaurs and Volcanos

Making volcanoes with Myles. He added his dinosaurs toys. He thought it was pretty amazing, wanted to make the lava come again and again.

Hearing the Prophet

President Nelson traveled to Seattle. He spoke at the Safeco Field were the Mariners play baseball. Anthony and I took my dad, Caramel and Rhett. The stadium was full by the time it started 49,000 people. Elder Eyring and Sister Nelson spoke too. President Nelson focused on 5 life lesson he has learned - 1. Hold to the raft (the gospel) 2. The Book of Mormon is the word of God 3. The honors of men fade 4. The Lord uses the unlikely 5. Care for others. Sister Nelson spoke of when President Nelson receives revelation and how things have changed since President Nelson's calling. He is 94.

Grandpa Dan and Rhett walking to the car afterwards. We ate a Dick's then picked up Myles and Cami at Grammy's house.

School Starts

All four of my kids at one school. Just this year will this happen. It is a beast getting them all out the door at the same time. Cami preschool, Myles Kindergarten, Rhett 3rd and Caramel 6th.

Caramel is turning into a teenager and loves to sleep at random times. Really we are all late owls and need to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. We need a schedule adjustment!

Myles has been exhausted after long days at Kindergarten.

Cami was the last to start 2 weeks after Caramel and Rhett and 1 week after Myles. She is wearing a Chargers Fairwood blue hoodie just like me! 

End of Summer with Myles and Cami

Caramel and Rhett ended up missing two days of school to drive down with Grandpa Dan to Utah for Karmen's baptism. So it was just Myles and Cami for the weekend. We went to Wild Waves using the tickets the kids got for free doing the library summer reading. It was super relaxing only having 2 kids. We did water fun first with the pirate play area and wave pool then rides. 

Then the neighborhood had the Last Splash event. Myles wanted this picture with him showing all the bouncy houses. There were 3 different ones. 

New neighbors

We had some new neighbors move in a few houses down the street. The boy is Myles' age and started Kindergarten like Myles but in a different class. They like to eat lunch together (I think Myles eats all his friends treats if not during lunch after school). The little girl is a year younger than Cami, they have fun dressing up with crowns and high shoes.

Myles and Cami were doing some serious dancing together like ballroom. It was pretty entertaining.

Grandpa's 70th

We celebrated Grandpa Neil's 70th birthday over Labor Day weekend. We stayed in Kingston with Aunt Charity and Andrea and families. Fun times with the families making cupcakes, exploring the beach full of tiny crabs, street shops, ferry port, and park playgrounds. And of course trying to get all the kids to smile in pictures and go to sleep.
