Two days after Evie got baptized, Abigail and her family invited us out to Hart Ranch with them. Thumbs up with right Evie.
We had so much fun. Naomi, Julia, and Ezra are behind Samuel.
Ezra really took to falling in sideways after Evie taught them all how to do it.
She choreographed them all falling one by one into the pool. 😮😅
A couple days later we discovered a random present at our house. It was a Lego Bible (a kids Bible animated with Lego people and bricks)! Prae gave it to the kids who she rightly knew would love it. So sweet of her.
Now that July was ending, August and the Sturgis Rally were right around the corner. We had to be out of our house by August 2nd for our first set of renters. There were many jobs to do.
I worked in the middle of all that cleaning and organizing and left the kids a list of things to accomplish.
I worked a fair amount last summer due to one of the ladies being gone for maternity leave. It was rough filling in sometimes...just because I'm not there often enough.
We sold our Bowflex, thank the Lord. I really never wanted it to begin with and after a year and a half of mostly gathering dust I was only too glad to have it gone.
I also washed the dust from all the hutch dishes (and untold number of many other tasks).
I made enough breakfast burritos to last us on our upcoming five-fish day vacation to Colorado. I did the same thing for breakfasts on our sabbatical trip. And apparently two years was not enough of a break from them because the kids whined incessantly about eating them. 😤
We put an extra bed where the Bowflex had been. Trouncie enjoyed it.
Upside down he looks like he's smiling. 😂 That's certainly a new look for him.
Just one day later we went back to Hart Ranch for the youth group closing event of the summer. The littles played mini-golf, which they love.
It was unseasonably cold (like it had been all summer), and though it looked like it was going to pour all evening, the littles still had a lot of fun in the pool.
The hot tub was more like it though. I think it did rain on our way home.
Noah is in there with the big boys at the bottom right. Two days later we went to Shari's to house-sit while our place was being rented and Shari and Jesse went to Washington D.C. for a vacation.
