Life Lately Continued...Again

Ron and Diane came into town to bring Haley to BYU. A lot of the Hawkins family met at Brick Oven for dinner. Mel and I sat with Ron and Diane, and it was so great to visit with them. 

Damon loves to copy us and try to put ice in his cup from the dispenser in our fridge. He usually just pretends, but one day he got his cup to stay up there. He was very proud of himself.

  

We got a new patio table and chairs, and have enjoyed eating out there now that's it's cooling off a little in the evenings.

When I was putting the table together, Rockwell and Tessa had so much fun playing with everything that came in the box. They used the cardboard to make racetracks for their cars.

They put the bubblewrap on the tramp and popped it by jumping on it.

Al caught a fun picture of Damon and me one day at her house. I sure love this boy!

It's been fun to have more one on one time with Tessa now that Rockwell's in school. We enjoy making crafts together. I thought this one was cute.

I asked Tessa to sit with Damon and help him eat their snack while I ran by myself for a few laps around the parking lot. When I stopped Damon was quite thrilled with how many fish she had let him have.

She took good care of Damon when he had a fever. He was really hot, so she fed him cold water. :)

Rockwell and Tessa made homemade mac and cheese. They loved making something so complicated. 

I love that Rock and Tess are such good friends. I hope they always love each other this much.

We love doing fires in the backyard.

Damon sure loves smoothies. He's looking so grown up lately.

  

We hiked to Bridal Veil Falls for a family night. It's one of our favorite places.
