Keeping busy

Wyatt loves to cook.  He wanted to make muffins one morning. 

Wyatt set up a penguin Olympics for us one night. 

Wyatt is so sweet, he is always asking me if I need help with anything and offering to make food for me.  One morning he came in with a bowl of fruit for me when I woke up.

Hallee and Wyatt are obsessed with fidget toys.  They both got some for their birthday and keep spending their money on them.

Keith and I went and say 1820 The Musical.  It started out pretty cheesy, but we both really liked it by the end.  We got the cd, there are some really good songs in the play.

I feel like I am always taking someone to an appointment.  There are counseling, med checks, check-ups and orthodontic appointments.  Hallee and Wyatt are get left alone a lot while I'm running people where they need to be.  I try and do something fun with them when I'm home.  One morning we went over to Lakeview to play before it got too hot. They loved showing me all of their tricks.

We were glad we could squeeze in a few more play dates with the Barth's before school starts.

Grandma came down to bake with Caitlyn.  Caitlyn was thrilled, she loves grandma so much and just eats up the time and attention she gives her. 

The kids all loved spending time with grandma.

Jonah is looking so grown up lately. He is growing out his hair and trying to bring out the curl in his hair.  I'm not sure if that is part of why he is looking older or just the fact that he is getting so tall.

I took Caitlyn and Jonah to the High School the other day to pay fees and get their Chromebook.  They could also get their picture taken so they both put on their new shirts.

It's crazy that I have two high schoolers.  Jonah doesn't seem to be nervous about starting High School.  

Caitlyn has started her tennis season.  She is having fun and doing great.

She had a match on Friday and the kids came with me.  I was happy when Jonah asked to come, I love when my kids support each other! It was a very close match, so it ended up being almost two hours.  The kids were good sports, especially with the heat.  

We had an appointment for baptisms for the dead on Saturday. 

Caitlyn and Jonah both brought a friend and Kyle and Paige went too.  

I love hearing Caitlyn and Wyatt play their ukelees.

We have been playing a lot of card games lately. Sunday we had a very long game of Phase 10.

Hallee and Caitlyn wanted me to take pictures of them being sassy, look out world!

Yesterday I took Hallee and Wyatt to the aquarium one last time before our pass expires.

We got there first thing so we had the place to ourselves for a few minutes. 

We stopped at the store to get a birthday gift for Amanda and I bought a game like Telestrations.  I went to put laundry in and I came back and all four kids were already playing the game.
