While I was away

The day Caitlyn and I left for camp was Keith's birthday.  I hated leaving on his birthday.  Jonah had a hike with the scouts that evening so it was just the little ones with Keith that night.  I had suggested that Keith take the kids to Brick Oven for dinner. Keith said they had a great time.  I'm glad they had a fun night.

On Wednesday Katie came and picked up the kids and took them for the day..  It was nice that Jonah could watch the kids and we didn't have to have someone there first thing in the morning.  Katie is amazing and took all of the kids to the park and bowling.

The kids loved spending the day with them.  I was so glad that they were out having fun instead of sitting at home.

I love that Katie took so many pictures for me.

The kids loved bowling, that was one of the first things they told me about when I got home.

Katie said she liked having time with Hallee without me there because Hallee was her little buddy.

I sure missed this cute girl while I was at camp!

Katie said that the boys loved their free waters and had a blast doing cheers over and over.

On Thursday my mom came down and played with the kids for the day.  They were so excited for grandma time! 

They went over to the park for a while.

The kids love playing games with grandma.

The boys told me that grandma jumped on the trampoline with them.  Mel kept Alexys and Dante was at camp so the kids got grandma all to themselves. 

On Friday Katie and the kids came over and brought lunch and played for a couple of hours. I appreciate all of the help with my kids so much. 

I was so excited to see Keith and the kids on Saturday.  We didn't get back to the church until almost 5:00 PM.  It was so great to be home!  I took a very long shower and then enjoyed spending the evening with the family!  We told Jonah we would pay him for watching the kids while I was gone.  We told him he could earn extra money by really playing with the kids and by cleaning.  He did an amazing job.  He really stepped up and took on the responsibility, Keith and I were both very proud of him.  He was thrilled with his money!

I told Wyatt that he could earn some money if he helped Jonah.  Jonah said he was a good helper.

Hallee wanted her picture taken too.  I am so happy that we are all back together!
