Around Our House

Damon helped me make cookies for a lunch we went to with some friends from our neighborhood.

He makes this face lately whenever he is asking for something. It's hard to say no to the pouty lip!

Tatum's mom took him and Tessa to Classic Fun Center last Friday night. Tess had a blast!

Matt and Marisa came over for dinner last Saturday night. As soon as the doorbell rang, all three kids went running to the door yelling, "Baby Asher is here! Baby Asher is here!"

The adults got to have a nice dinner together and visit while the kids entertained Asher. :)

Paul and Theron sent out postcards advertising their real estate business.

They also put up two billboards around Utah County. They seem to be working. They are getting a lot of new clients that are keeping them busy!

On Thursday night I went to see Strictly Ballroom at Hale Center Theatre with Mel, Ataiya, and Amarie. We really enjoyed it! And it was fun to spend the evening with my sister and nieces.

Friday night was Amarie's dance showcase. Tessa and I went up to that and loved watching her numbers. She did great as always!

Saturday was Katie's birthday. We did a date night with the Carr's, Loosli's , and Nielson's. We had dinner at Chili's and then played games at Katie's house. It was so fun to laugh our heads off with great friends.

We had a party with the Ham Fam on Sunday to celebrate my dad's birthday and his retirement!!! Friday was his last day of work ever, and we're all so so so excited for him. He has been working since he was 12, and definitely deserves this retirement. He and my mom supported 6 kids, giving us everything we needed and so many things that we just wanted. They helped us all go to college, get married, and continue to be so generous with all of us. That is not easy to do, and they deserve to feel very proud of themselves.

The kids had school off yesterday for a professional development day, so we had a carefree day at home. We painted, rode bikes, played in the hot tub, and played video games. It was a nice day.
