August 2020

I've been wanting a new ceiling fan in our living room since we built our house.  I love this new one!!

 

Isaak has been playing soccer with Murray Soccer Club this year.  We love watching him play!

Todd, Elise, and Pam came to our property and spend the evening with us one night.  Pam has been stuck in the US since Corona Virus hit.  She flew in the night before everything shut down to watch Mikaela's baby and wasn't able to get back into Oman afterwards.  Elise finally got to come out a couple months later, and Todd was able to come in August.  It was so much fun to have them there!

Grandma's garden

One side sanded and ready for paint!  We discovered that the wood it is built with is Yellow Poplar, almost extinct now!

We stayed up late watching "Alone" and Porter fell asleep this way.

Back to school mom date for Isaak!  We had Arby's in the park, then went to Nickel Cade

This kid rocked it at this game!  He got so many tickets!

One weekend we went up to our property with the Cantwells.  Ice cream at the Soda Fountain, a quick visit to Grandma's, and campfire at night and pancakes in the morning

Isaak's first day of JUNIOR HIGH!! How did he get so old?!  He insisted on riding his bike to school with his friends, probably to avoid having his blubbering mother drop him off at school.  No worries, I cried like a baby in the driveway as he rode away.  

Lila's first day of school!!  Big fifth grade!  

Lila and Story

Sra. Johnson!  We love her so much!

Story Young, Lila, Morgan Coleman

Lila, Cecilia, Hadley Ekeman, Carly Heaton, Avery Jackman

Lila, Carly, Avery and Savanah Hanie

Watching her walk in!  Porter and I both cried.  

Porter was so sad when he got to the car.  He was already missing Lila so bad!

Back to school Mom Date for Porter!  We broke it up into two days.  The first day we went to Leatherby's for ice cream and the next day we went to Nickel Cade!

I love my kitchen.  That's all 

Block castle

Porter and Theo Brinkerhoff!  We have missed seeing him at preschool so much!

Lila and Avery (or Avery and Ivory as they pretended to be that day)

Golf date!

We got to go to the park with Theo and Miss Debbie!!  We are so grateful for all that she did this year for Porter.  We LOVED having her as his preschool teacher.
