Monday, June 27 - We went to a BBQ at the Howell's house tonight to say goodbye to the Nyholm family. They are moving this week to New Mexico. Zack and Chase are sad to see Anna go but hopefully they'll be able to stay in touch. The Nyholm's are renting out their house in hopes that someday they will come back here. Good luck Jenny, Erik, Jackson, Wyatt, and Anna! In other news, Jenni tested positive for Covid! We were together all day on Saturday and last night for dinner so here's hoping that none of the rest of us get it.
Tuesday, June 28 - Simon and Zack were driving home from soccer practice and saw a small brush fire by this lamp post. Simon called 911 since everything is so dry this year and small fires can easily turn into major ones in just a few minutes. Another guy pulled over too and used a blanket to stamp it out. The fire department came and said it looked like someone had intentionally started it. It could have easily spread and burned down a brand new apartment complex being built right there. Scary stuff!
Wednesday, June 29 - Today's summer movie was Paw Patrol and we brough Charlotte and Bridget with us this time. We were not planning on enjoying this movie but it's actually really cute! We all really liked it a lot!
Thursday, June 30 - Mountain View Village is opening the second phase of shops so they did a grand opening celebration today. The kids, minus Nick, came and we hung out there for a few hours. They had live music, grand opening giveaways and deals, and even a caricaturist to draw pictures of everyone. It was super fun and we stayed much longer than we thought we would. Nick met up with us at Cafe Rio and we all had lunch together. What a perfect summer day!
Friday, July 1 - I worked all morning and the kids wanted to do something fun. Last-minute, we packed up and headed to Cowabunga Bay. We tried to get Jenni and Mom to come with us but neither could. It was fun to be there for a few hours this afternoon.
Saturday, July 2 - It was finally time again for the Western Stampede Rodeo! We always love this fun tradition. This year, Nick had to work so Kendra brought Adrianna with his ticket. It was fun to have here there too. She's such a sweet girl! After the rodeo, we took the kids down memory lane by driving past our old house and through the old neighborhood. They each only barely remember it but it's fun to show them anyway.
Sunday, July 3 - We celebrated mom's birthday tonight at Grandma & Jim's. I knew I wanted to do something with donuts so I borrowed a mini donut maker to make this fun cake. It was a huge hit! The kids loved the mini donuts...and so did the parents. :)
