Soccer

Thankful for support on the sidelines and also laps for the girls! Cecily does not like to share her spot. 

I wanted to hurry and take this photo. Who knows if I’ll see them on the same team right next to each other again. 

Cecily is getting more and more active each week. 

 

Coraline's Baptism Coming Soon!

 

Coraline will be getting baptized on her upcoming 8th birthday! 

Today, we took a few pictures outside for her invitations. 

She requested to be baptized in Jack and Jane's pond. 

More details and pictures to come soon. 

Honey Harvest!

Today we headed to church earlier than we normally do to see Tatum’s blessing and take the Sacrament. Then we headed out to Chris’ house for the yearly bee harvest! 

We got 12 gallons this year! 

Now that we have been for multiple years it is fun to see everyone and catch up - of course besides Levi and Chris who work together. Plus the food is always amazing. We brought cinnamon rolls and chickens this year. 

 

Great Wolf Lodge - Ohio

We had been waiting for life to settle in routine with co-op and Levi to decide on his career path before relaxing and celebrating.

After pondering lots of places to go we decided on a place we have been to many times - mostly to not feel stress or have anxiety with counting kids and also to let our olders have more freedom. 

We had never been in the summer, so another outdoor park was open which was wonderful. 

It was oddly strange to go and only have to truly watch Cecily. Although she was smothered by siblings who wanted to go down slides with her and show her all the things.  

 Bella LOVED the dance party and made all sorts of friends. Coraline and Nephi eventually jumped in to join as well. Clairana just stood on the sidelines but knew the words to every single song. Levi and I attempted to dance with her. 

The Mexican restaurant across the street that we went to twice. So good. Cecily kept telling us she was going to go nurser the cow out front. 

 Our littlest getting big girls. 

One night after story time and a dance party.

 Dance Party!

Day Two.

Homeschool Days

Everyone is doing morning loop plus our extra little one who can now join us at the table.

Soccer Days

Aunt Rene and Uncle Jack came to watch! They also treated everyone to Cona Ice. 

 

Car Shower

 Just because I want to remember that Cecily loves the car wash and calls it car shower.
