 |
| my boys taking a break |
 |
| Friday night, Braydan took Kaleb on a date so the girls new what to do! Party! They got the nailpolish out and turned on the dance music ;-) |
 |
| poor isaac was stuck with the girls. He slept through it luckily :-) |
 |
| Kaleb picked kayaking for his date night. Traveling through the jungle of trees and blessed shade! |
 |
| Saturday I asked Francine if we could swim and she is the sweetest and let us come. It was 100 and we were dying for some water. Kids love her pool. |
 |
| Saturday Braydan bought this on craigslist! I wanted to get him one for father's day and even ordered one on Amazon, but he canceled it before it even got here! He is a foosball snob I guess because he said the one I picked wasn't built good enough. Well, he finally found one that is good! Happy late gift! |
 |
| Kaleb being Kaleb |
 |
| I asked Eliza to draw a temple for my FHE lesson and she did a masterpiece of course :-) |
 |
| we talked about families sealed together and the kids were fascinated with the idea of being linked like a chain to my parents and grandparents and their future kids and grandkids. |
 |
| Kaleb has traps set up all over the property for quail, skunks, and more. Unfortuantely, its our cats and chickens that end up caught in his traps :-) |
 |
| 4th of July was wonderful and it was the first year I wasn't sad and missing Washington. Started with a flag raising at the church. We had a sprinkler fiasco where Braydan ended up drenched trying to figure it out, but I loved singing patriotic songs together and visiting with our ward family |
 |
| cute primary singing |
 |
| Isaac sporting his red white and blue |
 |
| They had a cute bike parade for the primary, but only Jane wanted to do it. Funny when it came time to decorate it though, all the kids were excited and wanted to help. |
 |
| After the flag raising we headed to Melba for the parade. It was hot and I think it's the last year we are going. Kaleb is bored of it and the girls are too nice to get much candy :-) You have to be agressive! |
 |
| During the afternoon, Braydan is my hero and took down my ugly kitchen chandelier and figured out how to put together my new one. I need a picture of the replacement! |
 |
| Floating Indian Creek in the afternoon. We invited our new friend Aaron to join in. I stayed with Isaac, but Braydan took Jane for the first time. I was nervous for her, but she loved it. |
 |
| Worn out |
 |
| Our Jewish friends invited us over for swimming and barbeque and firewworks. It was a fun night! |
 |
| Isaac is 4 months old! |
 |
| My office is always busy with these 2 girls working on projects. |
 |
| Jane loves to have Eliza make her paper dolls. Lucky little sister! |
 |
| We asked a young women in the ward to teach the kids swimming lessons and they love it. The best part is the other kids can swim while they're waiting their turn. |
 |
| I love this picture so much. It's not every day you get all your siblings to support you getting your shots! Eliza's face was pure horror when they came in with the needles. She loves her baby brother! |
 |
| He weighed 11 lbs. He's doubled his weight! |
 |
| Jane doing swim. She loves Emma and went under the water the first day even though Ive been trying to get her to do that for a while. |
 |
| Isaac trying not to cook during all the swim lessons |
 |
| Cute boys. Kaleb's been looking up buying a dirt bike now that he's ridden his friend Daniel's. :-) |
 |
| The kids are so mean and think Issac looks like the elf Dobby in Harry Potter! So mean. |
This week we also had Aaron over for dinner a few nights because his family is in Utah. Fun getting to know him and found out we're related! Small world. Saturday Braydan hung all my cabinets and put all the hardware on. So happy to be done with the project. It was fun for the first month and then my enthusiasm waned.
 |
| Kaleb is always asking about jobs he can do to earn money. Told them to stain the playset and they loved that job. It looks much better now! |
