Another Summer Week!

I picked up T and Dillon this week from fishing - they had a cooler full of fish for Dillon's pond. That car ride home was pretty stinky! 





Bella's friends met her at the ballfields one night that Jace had a game. Sure love these girls!
Thomas did a basketball camp through the HS this week.  

Our field trip this week was a walk on the Provo River trail up by Bridal Veil falls.

Our inside freezer stopped producing ice this week, so I took everything out of it and thawed it out and Josh fixed it!  It was an easy fix - just taking out an ice chunk back behind the panel.  Phew!

Our 8 game baseball season is here!  It's been fun to sit at the ball fields twice a week and watch some baseball!  

We went camping this weekend!  We were going to go the property we had been looking at in Salina, but it got 2 offers on Monday, so we opted to find somewhere else.  We ended up going past Diamond Fork campgrounds and camping in a primitive spot just off the road by the river.  It was lovely!  We had a slow time getting up there because there were cattle being driven up the canyon. 


The kids had fun playing in the river, and Thomas loved fishing in there.






We played Kuub, whittled sticks, read books, and chopped wood.  It was such a fun, chill weekend.  The dumbest part was the group that showed up Friday night at 9 pm across the way.  They were SO loud!  They spoke spanish the whole time and were up til after midnight!




















We went and hiked around Red Ledges. We had never been there, but it reminded us of the St. George Pioneer Park with the big red crack. 








We ended up staying 2 nights and had so much fun.  It was a definite camping WIN!

Summer!

We are in full blown Summer mode over here!  This week, we had friends come swim a couple times.  The Roaches came over with their posse and we filled up the pool with kids, smiles and laughter - the perfect Summer mix! It is the best that we have 2 kids each that line up and are best friends, and the moms and dads are friends too!  That's pretty rare!












One of our projects for this week was cleaning out the window wells and filling them with gravel.  It was a hot job!

I hit a goal this week, and took myself to get a pedicure!  



This little chart gave me the giggles!


This one made me think! With all the crazy going on in the world - the virus, politics, and the racism problem that has felt like it's come to a head. I've also thought about how timely our Prophet's message was to teach in our homes with CFM. This year really has been an awesome experience for our family to grow closer together and learn so many new things.  It has been challenging and hard at times, but what an amazing trial to go through together. 

One of our field trips this week was to BYU campus.  I found a scavenger hunt online and we went to do it!  



Trying to take pictures where it looks like you're "holding" something BIG.






Mimicking art.





We grabbed Little Ceasars and had a picnic at the duck pond south of campus.

Kaley has been trying all sorts of new hair dos out on her sisters!

Cleaning out the game closet and getting it ready to move down to it's new home in the basement!

Playing Harry Potter Scene It!
