Kitchen Life

Most times, I am just the dishwasher these days....

 

Summer Choir Concert

 The girls decided on singing with the Citizens Band at Columbian Park. 

They performed American and Patriotic music in honor of our country's 250th Anniversary 

Nephi had wrestling so was not able to make the rehearsals for this one.

Farm Life

 

 Memory = Levi saw that ColbyJack was on top of the garden pole and struggling to figure out how to get down. We called in the cat lady (Coraline) who sprinted out to help him. 

 We went over to help the grandparents clean the pond. Mamaw had a great idea to have the kids bring down their kayaks and help move the algae to the edge - it worked great. 

 Then of course they had to have a swim afterwards.

 Lotte was getting comfortable jumping off the dock with Nephi. 

 This is how Lotte wakes up most days - she likes her sweatsuit that has to match with the hood up and holds a kitten. 

 Kitten Smugglers.

More Clairana's birthday

 On C's birthday she woke up to all the homemade love from her younger siblings. She ate at all her favorite places all day. Went to see the new Star Wars movie with several friends and just so happened to be on the big library book sale night so we went to that too.

 Lots of presents for her SUV and we got her a gift to know her colors too. 

 We went out for sushi with Levi for lunch. 

Movie with Friends! I was helping them all buy snacks and then the ticket counter lady asked if they were on a triple date - some of their faces were priceless. The other girls are not pictured unfortunately. 

Clairana out to dinner with Pappy and Bubbe for her birthday - Outback and shopping

Clairana Party

Mamaw wanted to host a party for Clairana's birthday! 

Lotte as soon as we got home from church before we changed for the party. 

 Mamaw and Lotte playing bubbles. 

 She did all the fancy work and made dinner and dessert for everyone. Not many pictures but we had a great time with family. 

 

Soccer!

 We jumped back into the Faith Soccer world for another season, this time we tried out their spring season hoping it would be less overwhelming on our summer. Coraline and Bella both played on the same team and Levi coached with C & N as his assistants - I signed up to be his assistant but man the parents are just too much for me anymore. 

 My view - sitting with Lotte and Cecily and friends on the sidelines with snacks.

Coraline

 This was the last week which was a make up game because of the rain earlier in the season so not many players could make it.
