CM BBQ and VIP's

Our house finally started to look a little bit like a house.
These are the changes in our house from Sept. 4-7.  Our garage was poured and the framing was started!
Sept. 5th was National Cheese Pizza Day!  Of course Hailey can't have cheese, but I made her a delicious turkey and pineapple pizza that she loved.
The Construction Management had a BBQ and Chili cook-off.  I was told I needed to try all of them so I made the best of it and had a chili dog with each kind of chili on a different part of it.  Some of the chili was really good, but others were very not good.  The kids played under these huge trees there at Kiwanis Park and had a blast in their own little world under there.
Just as we were leaving it started to rain and this beautiful rainbow came out.  It turned into a double rainbow a few minutes later, but I love these pictures with the rainbow, the Y on the mountain, and the kids.
Friday, September 7th was Heidi's day to be VIP at school.  After an early morning feeding of Brynlee at 5 a.m. I finished her train poster that is to go up in her classroom at school.  She was so excited and took it to school to show her class.  Unfortunately, she didn't show it that day.  There was a little misunderstanding.  Since she didn't go in to class and excitedly show her teacher her poster, her teacher didn't think that she had remembered it and didn't want to make her feel bad by asking if she had it.  So when she got in the car after school I asked her how it went showing it to her class (since she is pretty shy and I was worried that maybe she just stood there and didn't say anything) she immediately started bawling and thought that maybe she had lost her poster and never got to show it to her class.  When we got home I found it at the bottom of her backpack and emailed her teacher to see what happened and her teacher felt really bad and I found out the stuff above.  So they still totally celebrated her birthday and she was VIP, but she just didn't get to show her poster until Monday.  Sometimes I think that she's super shy just to show me what it was like to be the parent of a super shy child.
Hailey is such a great sport all the time and is my super big helper so I made it be a special day for her too.  We colored some noodles and made a necklace.  She got to put the drops of food coloring in the bags and choose what colors to do them.  After they were dry she made a beautiful necklace.
These girls are such goof balls!  They wanted a picture in their matching pajamas.  I told them their jammies were getting too small and that they needed to pull their shirts down.  Hailey did just that and Heidi hunched up her shoulders so more of her tummy would show.  They thought that was pretty funny.  These girls are best friends and so silly!

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...
