Monday, June 20 - Nick's dinner request for this week was carne asada street tacos. I have never made them from scratch before so I was a little nervous but guess what, they were delicious! I'm so thankful for Google and being able to look up any recipe anytime! Sweet Ricki was not having anything to do with the street tacos so she had leftover crepes. She was a happy camper with her dinner!
Tuesday, June 21 - Ricki and I went to lunch with Grandma and Jim today. Jim looked over at her and told her to open her mouth. We took this picture because it looks like the baby is feeding her a cookie! Haha, we have fun with the grandparents!!
Wednesday, June 22 - Another summer movie for the books. Today's show was "Clifford the Big Red Dog". Ricki's friend Navy came with us too so that made it extra fun! This afternoon, Zack tromped around the neighborhood with his friends and ended up playing air hockey in the Ernest's driveway. Ricki had activity days and Officer Price came to teach them about police work. They loved being able to turn on and off the sirens and shouting over the bullhorn. :)
Thursday, June 23 - Kendra, Zack, Ricki, and I went to Cowabunga Bay...just the 4 of us! The kids ran around and played while I sat and read a book on my iPad. It was perfect!! I enjoyed the down time so much!
Friday, June 24 - Happiest of birthdays to my baby girl! She turned 8 today and we had a party! A bunch of her friends and neighborhood kids came over and we played games, broke a pinata, and ate cupcakes! It was a great day and I think she had fun with her friends!
Saturday, June 25 - We started our day bright and early this morning by setting up and doing a yard sale. As usual, it was at Jenni & BJ's house and it was pretty successful! I got rid of most of my stuff and I didn't have that much stuff to get rid of. This afternoon, our family went to "linner" together then we came home to work on our new gazebo. We also got to meet our new neighbors. They are so great and I feel immediately connected to them. Jen Davenport, the mom, had a stroke and is paralyzed on half of her body. I couldn't believe it! She looks just like Jenni!! We have this immediate connection to each other and I can't wait to get to know her, Nick (dad), Payton (13-year-old daughter), and Andy (8-year-old son). They seem very sweet!
Sunday, June 26 - Amy is home!! Amy Mortensen is so so great and she is home from her Florida mission!! She did a great job on her homecoming talk and we went to her house afterward to visit and welcome her home. It was perfect! Tonight, we had dinner with the Howard family. All went well but we got this text from Jenni later. She stepped on a bolt that was sticking up on her cement in her backyard. I told her she needed a tetanus shot! Ouch!!
