The Weidmans

We hiked the Y with a friend Weid worked for last summer and his family. The younger kids looked so cute in their BYU clothes and were so excited to hike the Y since the last time we did it was Cougar's 3rd birthday. Lacey was a cute cheerleader. We got there a little before our friends so I took some pictures. I took one picture and then a few seconds later I went to take another picture of them with the flash and I just love how you can see their personalities in that shot. Brynlee is happily posing, Lacey is running, Heidi is walking away, Cougar is fixing his glasses, and Hailey is spreading her arms out and fully enjoying the view and being up high. Our friends came so we packed Lacey in the backpack and Hap in the Snugli and started up the mountain. It was pretty hot and Hailey was having a hard time. I kept her going with promises of rest at each turn and we eventually made it to the Y. I stayed at the bottom of the Y with the youngest 3 while the rest of the group made the...

I finally took pictures of Cougar in his soccer stuff. Hailey didn't have a game that Saturday so we went to Cougar's game and then went shopping for a mirror for the bathroom and a soccer goal for the kids to practice and play with. Heidi had a sewing lesson from me and sewed a bean bag and a skirt for an honor roll project. She wore the skirt to school for her presentation about her new skill. Weid built shelves and painted in the bathroom. Brynlee and Lacey wore matching pajamas and got their nails painted. We love a dinner of meatballs and rice. It is one meal that everyone can and likes to eat. Lacey was being so cute wandering around the house with this magnifying glass. I got a call from the school saying that Cougar had lost a shoe playing football in the field and even with the teacher's help they couldn't find it, so I had to bring him another pair of shoes. At recess later in the day they ended up finding the other shoe. Hap looked so cute in this little out...

The bathroom was closer to being finished. I took Brynlee to story time at the library and she loved it. She wanted to go up front and be part of the action. She held her letter K with pride and confidence. Hailey had the 3rd grade track meet. It was a bright, sunny day. Lacey, Brynlee, and Hap loved helping me cheer for Hailey. She ran fast and hard with her tiny little legs and beat about half the girls in her heats for the 50 and 100 meter races. She threw the ball way farther than the 3 yards she told me she was probably going to throw it. Almost all the girls Brynlee's age from our ward were there (because they have a play group before preschool) and they had fun playing under the bleachers. Hailey got to be a captain at her soccer game and looked so small out there. She played goalie and did great, as usual. Brynlee went to the dentist with her dad to get the cavities between her front teeth fixed and did pretty good. He said she didn't cry with the shot to numb her up, ...
