August 2015

Mission plaque at our church

Joshua's first baptism in the mission

Our cutie Emma

Emma loves her new bike we got from a yard sale for $5

We had fun being with family for a cousin's daughter's baptism

Megan's Birthday

I bought a trampoline party for Megan's birthday, partly for the other kids,
and partly for me - it was while Eddie was in England still, so he couldn't say no :)

After jumping together on the trampoline

Megan loves driving the Jeep after learning the stick shift

We had a beautiful drive by Utah Lake

Zachary had a fun hike to Timp Cave with a 4-H group -
I'm still trying to find the photos he took...

Lake Powell Trip

We rented a boat and drove it down to Lake Powell for a fun family trip
(now that Eddie was back from England)
before school started and partly for Megan's birthday wish.

We loved exploring the canyons

Swimming in a cave

Changing Sleeping Arrangements

The kids really wanted to try out having a bunkbed, so we took Joshua's and Zachary's beds
and made them into a bunkbed, which was fun for a while (and sold Emma's toddler bed)

Then we had a Mexican family coming to stay with us until they could find
their own apartment, so we separated the bunkbed again into two twins, and gave
them this room to use for their 3 boys

We gave the parents this guest room, which Emma had tried as her bedroom for
a while, but decided she'd rather sleep in Zachary's room

Zachary and Emma slept on the floor in Joshua's room for
almost 2 weeks while the Mexican family was here

We had to get away for a night at the cabin, which was a nice break
from having 10 people in our home. Eddie and I also had a getaway
at the cabin right when he got back from England, which was nice.
