New Calling

I just got called to be the new teacher for 8 year olds.  I'm pretty excited.  I have taught twice already and really like the class.  There are 4 girls and 4 boys that come regularly.  They have a lot of energy but aren't too crazy.  I also love being in the Primary for song and sharing time.   I get to watch Carden which is extremely FUN!  I almost started crying when he volunteered to say the scripture.  It was so cute.  We had a great lesson on Samuel the Lamanite.  I even made some bow and arrows off pinterest so we could act out the story.  The kids loved it and we had a great discussion.

Brooke and Rhead love nursery and are pretty good at being a good example in there.  Carden likes his class as well and sits quietly in Primary.  We have been doing better in Sacrament meeting with being quiet.  The only thing that gets hard is having them all sit in their seats!  They like to get up and sit on laps and sometimes on the floor but we try to make sure that they sit on their bums!

Carden is into taking pictures so I guess I will post a few fun pictures.  He loves making FUNNY FACES!!!  Carden did a great job taking all the above pictures!

Happy!

The month of July

 

Well July is over and I barely blogged about it.  We went to Newport for the 4th of July.  Then we pretty much swam the rest of the month, attended reading time at the library, and played with cousins! We had our Peterson family reunion which was EXTREMELY fun and I still need to put together a slide show.  We also celebrated Justin's 29th Birthday.  McKay had his 6/7 month checkup.  Here are some pictures from the month of July.   

We got to meet HERCULES from the Sandlot! haa haa!!

Just kidding but looked close and was so big you could ride him.

We went to the Radmacher's for some AWESOME burgers that were grilled with OAK (Argentine way) Wow they were good!

 McKay started crawling pretty much at SIX months.  Carden loves helping him learn things!

 We celebrated Birthdays with COUSINS and got to decorate cupcakes!

With all the diaper boxes we have we now stick McKay in them and push him around the house!

We LOVE making COOKIES with Daddy of course.

The kids only like the dough and not the COOKIE, 

which I think is so GROSS.  I have never been a fan of cookie dough.

 We got NEWS of our NEW COUSIN coming in February!  We are so excited!  We are hoping for a boy since GRACIE, MAKENNA, BRYNLEY, ANNIE, and ERIN are all having GIRLS this year! CRAZY!

Brooke loves dressing up!  She lets me do her hair sometime and it is pretty fun! She never gets her shirts on but we are still working on that with getting dressed in the morning and POTTY TRAINING! 

 Carden helps Daddy mow the lawn every Saturday!

 We have been eating tons of zucchini and tomato and basil out of our garden!

 Love the boy's MOHAWKS!

 We also had a great time for the 4th of July with the Sweeneys!
