August Misc.

Max only played one football game this season.
He tried talking with his coaches about his position.
He was playing lineman, but felt that no matter how hard he worked
he couldn't improve his skills. Even though he's 6'4" and 200 lbs.
the players he defended where still 100 lbs more than him.
He felt he was getting yelled at for nothing he could do.
His coaches told him he would gain 50 lbs. this season
and would be staying in that position. 
He was hoping to play tight end or Defensive End.
He decided not to play this season, 
because we didn't agree with him gaining 50 lbs.
 Jane always asks for her turn to read from
The Book of Mormon.

Jane reading.
 Daisy got hair nails and toes painted
at the Nail Salon for her birthday.
 We were finally able to meet Rachael and Taylor's
baby, Emmett. He was blessed here in Las Vegas.
They currently live in North Carolina.
 Hanna and some friends.
 Jane "reading" during family scripture time.
 Visiting Dee at the Memory Care Center.

 I've been teaching Preschool from home
for about 13 years.
 When Preschool is in your home you can wear
whatever you want, even a swimsuit.
Preschool daily sign-in.
Our friends saw that the wind storm broke our
basketball hoop, so they gave us theirs 
because no one used it anymore.
 We can officially fit all NINE of us around
this beautiful table Danny made us.
 Jane prefers sleeping in our closet rather than her own bed.

Happy 10th Birthday Daisy & Walt

This year Daisy really wanted to go shopping at Justice.
So I told her she can have a small party and go to Justice another day.
But she did not want to have her party with Walt.
I didn't want to have a party 2 nights in a row.
So Walt's party started an hour earlier.
They came and ate, then when the girls started coming over
Danny took the boys to go play Kickball.
 Girls painting inside.
 Boys swimming outside.
 While the girls painted inside.
The boys swam and had cake and ice cream outside.
Happy Birthday Walt!
 Boy party for Walt was loud and rambunctious!
 Happy Birthday Daisy!

 Girl painting party for Daisy was a lot of fun!
 They turned out pretty good.
It was a little crazy, but they had lots of fun!
