Summer Days

Asked Clairana to get Lotte from her crib - she made it to my bed and then found them like this.

 Bonnie took a picture of Levi saying the prayer at church. 

 Primary singing with the Young Men.

 Primary Service Day - they chose to scrub the playground at University Farms. It was super-hot. 

 Clairana went out with her grandparents for her birthday and they sent me this picture. Dorks.

 Fancy dry clay art around the house.

 

Haircuts!

 Bella took my appointment and got her hair chopped off to match her sisters!

 Before.

 Neph got his haircut a different way too. He took some selfies, so we remember how it looked for next time. 

 

Aunt Woody Visit

 Two different visits close together if you notice the wardrobe changes. 

Lotte with Aunt Woody

 Took Aunt Woody on the Honda. She has one too. Hers has some fancy accessories we don't have..... just yet. We are hoping for a roof and windshield soon. 

 Aunt Woody brought chocolate milk!

 

Clairana - Twilight Night

At girls camp the older girls were talking about Twilight. They wanted to watch the movie at camp but due to the age range I had to be the bad guy and say no. 

 So, they decided to plan a movie night once everyone got home. 

Clairana had not seen the movie or read the books, but she decided to go. 

Levi and I gave her a briefing of the movie beforehand so she could be slightly prepared.

She had a great time, and they all brought fancy movie themed treats. 

She has since read the first book. 

 

One of the girls brought Jello in a syringe. 

Summer Fun

 Lots of rainbows and storms lately.

 Fishing trips

 Littlest girls with the grandparents.

 Fishing. 

 Nephi and Lotte in the creek.

 

 Clairana took this at the trampoline park. 

 Trampoline Park fun. C took this - she said the machine didn't work so they were trying to fake it for the photo.

We may not hang out at the trampoline parks for quite a while. After this trip, Cecily broke out in a full body circle rash for over two weeks. After a handful of appointments, they concluded that she is allergic to a bacteria which led to pityriasis rosea with joint pain and not being able to walk. The best we can all conclude is that it came from here. 
 

Cason Park Opening

Levi doing big fancy things again! Cason Park Ribbon Cutting. 

Mamaw and Papaw came to show support as well as the Goodsell family. The weather was rough but still tons of people showed up. It is a beautiful place, and I hope to go back once all the school kids go back to school - Levi says it is packed every day still.

 Fun Swings

 Johnathan going down the slide. I went so fast I about lost Lotte.

 Cecily - see the hats and coats! Now as I type this out it is 90 degrees. 

 

Faces of History - Coraline

This year for the IEW class it was Coraline! We worked with the IEW book that is called Following Narnia. The kids all dressed up as people from that time. 

Coraline picked C.S. Lewis' mother. 

Florence Hamilton. 

 C.S. Lewis, Winston Churchill, J.R.R. Tolkien, Florence Lewis

 Everyone got Narnia stickers and Turkish delight.
