Gearing up for high school football to start this weekend- this is just this evening's work.

Don't mind the red-face and sweat. That is what happens when you play outside when it is 105.

On Fridays I go to work early which means the girls are usually still in their pajamas when I leave. This is the outfit Allie was wearing when i came home.

Laney and her godfather, Garrett. Both girls enjoyed a short visit by the Stiles boys. And Erich LOVED the nerdfest that ensued for 2 days.

Brad had the day off work. And made the mistake of calling the girls to come play with him. I don't think he realized that they were going to be all over him. That is when he invented a new game, "Let's see who can keep their eyes closed for the longest time." As you can see, the girls weren't into that game. Don't worry, I rescued him shortly after.

Licking the brownie bowl.
(Please don't judge me and think I am a bad mom. But I can't quit the habit myself.)

I think the girls thought John and Stephanie were going to pack them up and take them to Utah. And they must have remembered it was cold in Utah so they put on their warm pajamas for the trip.

Mom's birthday (a big one) is in a few days but she will be out of town. So tonight we had cake and ice cream and presented her with the book Courtney put together full of pictures of her life. She seemed to like it. Happy birthday Mom.

Book of the month or maybe the season.
I don't read as often as I used to but I am trying to change that.

We color every morning. I am becoming quite the artist- I have mastered the monkey and the kitty cat.

Erich has been out of town all week. His side of the bed has been taken over with school work.

Sometimes I worry that she might be a little OCD because 5 minutes before I took this picture, these were in a random pattern.

I still don't understand the rhyme or reason of why each item was placed on a specific car magnet, but it took Laney a long time to get the items placed just where she wanted them.
And I don't understand why blogger turns this photo. But I am not fighting it.

6 years ago today, John was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. We had cupcakes to celebrate that he is alive and healthy.

My girls couldn't get enough of Uncle Gay and Aunt Tay in the few days we were in Cali.

Don't ask me why Laney is wearing a blanket sleeper. Th low is probably 85 but she pretty much insists on it.

French fries and chocolate shake make the perfect afternoon snack.
And yes I realise that 2 days in a row, my phot is of Allie eating. She likes to do it.

John comes here straight from work as Steph is still at work. He usually parks his lunch box on the counter and today was no exception. Allie knew that there was most likely food in there, so she climbed up and opened it. She was pleasantly surprised to find a few Oreos still in the package. I was impressed by her skills so I let her eat them. What I didn't get a picture of, was the package with chocolate wafer with no creme on it put back in the bag and back in the lunch box. I am sure John will enjoy her leftovers tomorrow.

Tonight, we went to the temple with John and Stephanie. John Peterson was there and officiated in our sealing session. It was just what I needed.
And until tonight, I always looked at this bag and though, "It looks so grandma-ish. I really need to update it." But I never have. Tonight though, mom said, "You know whose bag that is don't you?" I had no idea. She reminded me that it once belonged to my Grandma Patty. And that she kept her knitting in it. My mother received it after she passed away 13 years ago. And my mom gave it to me to take to the temple on my wedding day 6 years ago. I love my Grandma. She was the best. And this is now the perfect reminder of the woman I want to become. So I think I will use it until I am a grandma too. Though I am sure I will never live up to her.
