Monday, August 8 - Mom bought Zack this soccer bag for his birthday but she's been wanting to put his name on it. We were out and about today so we stopped and dropped it off to her embroider lady. I love how it turned out! This afternoon, the kids just wanted to hang out with their friends so Zack went with Jax, Oakley, and Skylar and Ricki went to Bridget's house. They had a blast and I love when they get to be with their friends!
Tuesday, August 9 - The four of us gals went to see "Where the Crawdads Sing". Everyone had read it except for Jenni and it was so fun to watch it with her knowing that she didn't know how it ended. :) I'm so glad I have these ladies in my corner. What a fun night!
Wednesday, August 10 - Funny story, we had planned on going to the Parade of Homes all day on Monday but after we had lunch and drove to the first house, we realized that the Parade is open Tuesday-Saturday...not Monday. So we re-scheduled our week so that we could go today. We hit several homes and loved every minute! These random ladies in our picture are some "friends" we met along the way. Every house that we went to, they were there. We started noticing and making jokes about it until we finally decided we needed a selfie of our fun group to remember it by! Haha!
Thursday, August 11 - Day 2 of Parade of Homes. This time, we met at mom's for lunch and she made us yummy pizza rolls. I loved them so much, I went home and made them for my family! We went to a bunch more houses and realized that whatever we didn't finish today, we probably wouldn't get to because Saturday was the last day. The houses were different this year. There were more remodels and lower priced homes than anything. It was interesting. In the meantime, Grandma & Jim took these four little girls downtown to shop at City Center and get them a new outfit for back to school. They had breakfast together, rode Trax downtown, shopped, had lunch, shopped, and then rode Trax back home where they had dinner, had a fashion show, made cookies, and had a sleepover at their house. These kids are so lucky not only to have four grandparents that love and adore them but also two great-grandparents that also dote over them! :) They had a blast!!
Friday, August 12 - It's official...check out our new purchase! Simon had mentioned to the Sivertson's that if they ever wanted to sell this quad that we would be interested. We're so glad that he remembered Simon saying that a few years ago and called last week to say that they were going to put it up for sale. We checked it out, talked about our finances, and found the money to buy it. We can't wait to go back to Fillmore to use it and enjoy it!
Saturday, August 13 - Best day ever! Ricki was baptized this morning. It was such a beautiful experience! We loved that she was surrounded by family and friends to witness such a perfect day in our sweet girl's life. After her baptism and confirmation, we had a brunch at a different church in our stake with everyone. It was perfect! After her baptism, Simon went downtown to play kickball in the Corporate Games. His team did awesome and they ended up winning second place! Go MACU!
Sunday, August 14 - Happy 18th birthday to Trevan TODAY! We got to celebrate him on his big day! We gave him a card with money, cuz what 18-year-old doesn't want that?!? I love this picture of Kendra and I! I just love her and am really loving being around her and seeing our relationship develop into more than it has been. She's such a great girl! The little girls spent a bunch of time in the fairy garden just playing. Love them! I think T had a great birthday and we all enjoyed being there with him!
