Life Lately

 We had a family dinner at Adria's house. The kids always love to see what animals they have when we go.

Rockwell, Hayden, Damon, and Tanner had fun playing on their new pickleball court.

Liam is in the stage where he wants to be out playing with the big kids, but also wants him mom with him every moment too. Luckily he remembered me enough that he let me take him out to play so Marissa could spend some time with her siblings.

Tessa and Brylie were also thrilled to play with Liam and Asher, which made Marissa very happy. 

My book club read Educated and we got to meet with Tara Westover. It was very interesting to discuss that book with so many other people, and then to talk with Tara and hear even more about her experiences and how they are continuing to effect her life. She was delightful, interesting, and clearly very intelligent. This book club is one of my favorite hobbies.

We camped at Grandma and Gramps' house over Labor Day weekend. The kids had a blast as usual! They love playing with their cousins late into the night and getting right back to it the next morning!

Paul met up with Tyler, Bryt, and Liz to go to a breakfast fundraiser on Ukraine's Independence Day. It was put on by a few guys who served in Paul's mission and he enjoyed getting to catch up with a lot of friends.

A few of them went to President & Sister McQueen's house after the breakfast. They were able to visit for a while. Paul always loves when he gets to see them.

Shiree sent me this picture of Tessa and Damon helping her pick peaches. They were out playing in the puddles and saw her working and asked if they could help. :)
