Happy Grandparent's Day

First we visited Grandma Dee Dee.

Dee's memory is pretty much gone now,

but when we sing church songs with her

she can sing the words with us.

Then we visited Grandma Susan & Jim.

We had tacos at their house.

Poor Clark

While I was at the temple one evening this happened...

As soon as I left the temple this picture showed up on my phone.

I called home immediately and found out Clark

was accidentally pushed while swimming with friends.

His mouth hit the cement and

three of his top teeth were knocked out.

He was asleep when I got home.

 The next day was Sunday and he hadn't eaten much.

We got a knock on the door and our neighbors were there

dropping off ice cream and root bear for Clark.

He was pretty happy about that!

And he was finally able to eat something.

He also was allowed to play non-church games

on my phone during sacrament.

Needless to say, we kind of spoiled him that day.

 Before he was given all that ice cream I had 

already promised to take him to Yogurt Land Monday.

So after we had an X-Ray at the dentist we went

to get frozen yogurt.

Fun at the Lake

We always enjoy going to the lake with the Jolley's!

Thankfully, no one got sick on the drive home this year!

Tubing

 Chelsea with a couple of her tired kids.

 Walt was tired too.

 They are a family of 7 and inviting a family 

of 9 is no easy task.

We are so grateful for their friendship! 

We love the Jolley Family!

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.

Sports & Scouts

Football for Max.

 Me coaching Clark's soccer team.

 Go Team Sonic!

Clark and Walt in soccer.

 Go Silver Knights!

 Hanna is in soccer too.

One night after practice we got a treat at Pop Drinks.

Hanna is also on her school Volleyball Team.

Daisy is also on her school volleyball team

and Cheer Team.

 Van in 11 year old Scouts.

Walt won 2nd Place in the Pinewood Derby.

That he actually didn't even want to compete in until he won.

I'm the Cub Scout Bear Leader.

We are pretty busy over here!

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!

Daisy & Walt Swim with the Dolphins

 Grandma took Daisy & Walt to Sea World to swim with the dolphins.
