St. George

We had such a great weekend in St. George with my family. My Grandma Thede came in town from Florida, so it was extra special for her to be there too. We had almost everyone there, except Weid was in Logan for a friend's wedding and Mindy is at school.
We were meeting up with my parents and Jamie was riding with us in our car down there and as soon as we got in our car Heidi held up her binoculars and said that she was trying to see Jamie. She also said all the way down there, "When are we going to see George?" I'm not sure if she meant a person or the monkey or what, but I don't think that she was disappointed after all the fun we had.
The first night Jared and my dad watched the kids and the rest of us went to see Aida at the Tuacahn. It was really good, and neat how they flooded the stage. They had this outside the amphitheater. It's a pretty funny picture, especially Jamie. While we were gone I was told that the phone rang in our room and Heidi picked up the phone and immediately set it back down again, hanging up on whoever called. Oops.
The kids had lots of fun playing at a few parks. Heidi and Hailey love to hang on the bars. It makes it better that they can reach this one.

Heidi in the little pool. She liked this one because it was only 1 1/2 feet deep.
We went swimming twice while we were there. The girls loved it. Especially Hailey.

This park was really neat. The girls loved this dog see-saw.
We couldn't quite figure out how to work this thing.
The guys tried a different way...
and fell off. We went back again the next day because it was so fun.

The kids liked to look out of the tube. The boys were playing Hide-and-Seek one time and Justin asked Heidi if anyone else was up in the tube and she said, "Just Heidi and Hailey and Brandon." I guess she doesn't quite understand that game yet.

We also watched the BYU game, played lots of games and watched a few movies. We had so much fun in St. George!
Today we drove Grandma Thede to the airport, but first the girls played a little bit and Grandma read them a book.

End of August: Kindergarten and Sports

Hap kept helping me take care of the Memmott's yard. Their raspberries are amazing and have made me look into getting plants. I took the three little kids to the doctor for well visits. They are all healthy and growing. Brynlee was 49 inches tall and weighed 51 pounds, which is below 1% for her age. Lacey was 47.5 inches tall and weighed 43 pounds, about 10th percentile. Hap was 44 inches tall (25%) and 36 pounds (3%). I tried making cookies with all the sunflower seeds we got in lunches but they wouldn't really stick in the cookies and the kids wouldn't eat them that way. I thought they were good. Hap enjoyed his last morning home with just us by falling on my bed. He started kindergarten and loved it. Brynlee and Lacey were happy to show him how to ride the bus and how to get to class. He had a great day and told me all about it. I found squash bugs and eggs at the Memmott's so I helped them out by getting rid of what I could find. Their yard is so pretty; look at the...

Games and Birthday Parties

Hap loves school and comes home with the cutest projects. I am getting lots of stuff from the garden; I used the tomatoes to make taco soup. Cougar had a game in Orem so Hap played on this cool playground when we dropped him off. We got there a bit early so Cougar helped Hap for a while and then we left and went to the girls' soccer games. It was rainy. Cougar had a SWAT training for practice. Heidi had a Thursday Night Lights game against Provo. She did great. I found this cute picture on the school's Instagram the next day. I basically taught Heidi math again; we had many late nights doing math and I was so grateful when it was something I liked. Because Heidi's game was on a Thursday, we were able to have Lacey's party on Friday and Hap's party on Saturday. It was a busy weekend but it worked for us. Lacey invited her friends over for a rainbow party. Almost all of her friends were available that night so it made it super fun for her. Her friends that came are Ad...

Last Week of School 2021-2022

Hap was thrilled to have a couple friends come play while their parents were at high school graduation. Heidi was one of very few students to attend school that last week, it was mostly parties. Baseball started. They're not the best team but they've made more plays in one game than his team did all of last year so it's a lot more fun to watch. With just a few days left with just Hap at home we went on a trip to Costco and drew pictures. Heidi finally got her permit. We didn't leave enough time for her to retake the test the first time she took it (since they close at 5), and after realizing there were questions about points and insurance she read the handbook and then easily passed. Hailey picked the fabric and sewed this bag. My garden is growing and looks more green thanks to these tomato plants from my parents. My pumpkins are doing well, like usual, and had the cutest butterfly flying around them. Brynlee and Lacey made cards and crafts for their wonderful teachers...
