Tyler's car bed

It's done! After starting this project in January it is done! Tyler is very excited to have a car to sleep in. It really is an awesome racecar! Jeremy is amazing. I don't know how he can just teach himself how to do this stuff, but he does, and I get to be the recipient of it all and my kids! It is also an awesome bed because my mom made an awesome quilt to go on top of it. Did you know that my mom is so amazing at making quilts that she won 2nd place at the Utah State Fair this year for her entry. She is kind of my idol.

Well done, Jeremy and Nana, your rock. Now I get to decorate the rest of the room to go with the bed!

Kindergarten!

Tyler loves everything superhero ie.: spiderman, superman, batman... He has started speech therapy once a week and we can't wait to see him start improving. He misses Grace when she is at school but seems to be able to torture Charlotte like Grace has tortured him for years. He says a few times a morning, "Where Grace go"..
I was crafty and made this. I had seen these yarn wreaths on etsy thought I can make that, I think it turned out pretty cute. It will be a fun fall wreath.

Our Charlotte! She was a blast at the beach and is a blast at home. She is pretty crazy, though. All day long I am taking her off the dining room table, out of the windowsill downstairs, off the bathroom counter etc. She is a climber and just is interested in everything. It is so fun to see her learning so fast! She loves her older siblings and wants to play with them all day long.

Grace started Kindergarten and is loving it! I don't think half day is long enough for her but oh well! She is smart as a tac, very compassionate, and is loving making new friends and playing with them after school. She also is now back in gymnastics and is doing great! Her teacher keeps telling me how strong she is. Below, what a poser!

Jeremy is still loving work and is now enjoying being assistant scout master, just went on a campout last weekend.

End of Summer

What a summer we have had! We did lots of swimming, lots of playing outside and had our fair share of vacations. Grace and Tyler can now both swim by themselves, Tyler maybe not quite as gracefully as Grace, but man he has guts! This picture above and below are my family at Newport Beach, so much fun!
Can you believe how big my family is? I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family, every one of them. We really had such a great trip full of so much fun.

It has been 10 years since I went to Jerusalem. We had a great reunion and it was fun reconnecting with so many.

Our chickens are producing like crazy. We get 4-6 eggs everyday. We are eating more eggs than ever. I still think it's funny that we got chickens for the eggs since Jeremy doesn't even really care for them. Although he does like a good deviled egg, which I haven't made yet....
