First Day of School! 2019

 First day of school! My 2nd year of teaching 4th grade (still with Nicole Carter), Logan's first day of 2nd grade with Mrs. Allgood, and (later) Kylie's first day of Preschool with Mrs. Merrill again.

Our ward had a ward Temple day and they wanted those who couldn't go to the temple, to at least touch the temple. So we took our kids to the temple to touch it and then we met up with the ward at the church for a dinner.

Here's a cute video!

We also decided to do one more summer thing by going to Cherry Hill. We bought a King of the Hill pass so we could do everything that we wanted to at the park. So we did the water stuff, Mini golf, and a few other random things.

Garrison Fun!

 The Garrison's came the same day the Phelons left. While they were here, we went to Pizza Pie Cafe, the Hill Aerospace Museum, and the Church History Museum. I didn't realize that was another room in the Hill Aerospace Museum and it had a lot of cool planes.

I had to get a picture by a B-17!

Unfortunately, they were redoing the children's part of the museum. They had one room that had a few puzzles and tangrams. So the kids were a little bummed about that. It doesn't look like I took pictures of that.

Phelon Fun!

 Logan went to Boondocks all by himself with his older cousins. Brandon took good care of him and he had so much fun! We were worried about him and laser tag since the last time he went, it scared him. But this time, he had a lot of fun!

On Friday we went to the Farmington Bird Refuge. It has nice little trails you can go on to see what kind of birds you can spot. They even give you some binoculars you can use to do the bird the bird watching. Their were a lot of us that went so we did a lot of child herding but it was fun. I don't remember what birds we saw or if we could identify them.

On Saturday Nate took Logan and Kylie to the Roy Aquatic Center and they met the Phelons, Gees, and Cederlofs. I wasn't feeling well so she stayed home with Ethan. Nate said it was a pretty fun pool. They had an area for slides, a nice kiddie pool and then a deeper pool for bigger kids. They mostly hung out in the kiddie pool area but Nate did go down the big slide a few times.

Stephanie was here this week until Friday and the day she left Gina and her family arrived. The day before the Phelons went home, we went to Pace's for dinner as a family. It seems like we do that at least once every summer that they come.

Brandon's mission call came while the family was still in Utah so the day they all got home he opened it. We watched on Facebook Live. He is going to the North Carolina Raleigh Mission. We knew he would go state side because he has a heart issue that he has had his whole life so he needs to be around reliable heart doctors. He'll be a great missionary.

For our one on ones this month, Logan and I went to Boondocks to do the bumper boats. We had a fun time shooting each other with water. Kylie and Nate also went to Boondocks but to the arcades. Our kids seem to always want to go to Boondocks for the one on ones. There is a lot to do there. Nate was able to use a claw machine to get her a couple of little balls.

Just a couple of random pictures.
