The Night of the Jeridites

We started the night with roasting hot dogs over the campfire. We were suppose to have scriptures around our fire but the rains came in. So in we went to read about the Jaredites and their living in tents. Then living in the barges and the 16 stones. I was impressed with the discussions brought up by Dan, Mari, Andrew, and Ben.
Then the rains went away, and the smores came out. Then onto a late night swim, and singing primary songs around the campfire. Well we were all suppose to camp out like the Jaredites. But one tent got ruined so it was only going to be the 6 oldest kids. And they were cool with that. Unfortunately they have me for an aunt and mom. I sat on the porch then moved next to the tent by midnight I was nerved up. And broke it to them I would never sleep with them in the yard alone. I know they were disappointed, but they all had a great attitude. And understood I just wanted them safe. I hate that the world we live in makes camping in your own yard feel unsafe. Oh well they got 2 hours of the Jaredite experience. Eddie Ray will be shocked when he wakes up in the house.
This is John catching raindrops for a drink! He sooo silly!

Summer Fun for FHE

Adam loved the tents of the Jaredites especially with Eddie Ray Cat.

Sunning on his own personal trampoline(or so he thinks)

Yard Work

Adam Drew and John really got into yardwork. Pretend mowing and picking up apples.

Adam refuses to wear much for clothes, I dress him, he undresses in the yard. So this week we're just calling him my little nephite.

summer Fun

As the summer winds down the kids are enjoying more waterplay. Dan & Mari are quickly becoming best buds.

Adam and John keep me highly amused they are so funny. And they are so good. We are having a blast.

Hayes Visit

They love the pool! Couldn't hardly get them out. They are a bunch of fish.
Adam loves to read! He averages 20 books a day. He reads everywhere.
He is so attached to Uncle Dan. He gets hugs in morn afternoon and night. He likes his big hot bike. He even watched a game with Uncle Dan.
I don't know if it will show but during scripture study these two figured out scooter cereal would stick to their heads. And the fun just kept going.

Saying Goodbye to Ally

Saying Goodbye to Ally was filled with tears.

Anna gets cozy with Grandpa & Grandma. She just stayed so comfy.

Scheer's come to visit

The boys enjoyed an afternoon playing with their grandparents and talking. Especially Eddie Ray loved showing off all his fun ideas.
