Chilling at Home

The kids are just chilling out.  Jonah, Annmarie and Nathan play around with each other.  There is always a lot of fighting but sometimes they have fun with each other too.  And the last picture here is when Jonah threw a stuffed monkey we have that has magnets in its hands and feet and it got stuck in the air vent on the ceiling.

Summer Cooking

Again this summer I am having the kids each take a day and cook.  Westley gets Sundays since he is working now and it is not predictable when he will be home, other than Sunday.  Caleb made this fantastic pork chop recipe that we found in my cookbook.  It was delicious!

New Haircut

At Eliza's auction for Young Women's camp, one of the items was a makeover/haircut from Lizzy Wright, a lady in our ward who does beauty stuff.  So I bid on it and won and was able to get a nice haircut and she did my makeup.  I am pleased with the result.

Climbing Wall

We got a pass to the Wylie Rec Center at the beginning of the summer and one of the things they have to do is a climbing wall.  The kids love to come do the climbing wall during the free climb times.

Westley's New Job

Since Westley turned sixteen, he was able to apply at In-N-Out and got the job working at the one in Garland,  in the Firewheel shopping center.  The second picture is one a friend took and sent me when she went through the drive through and he was working.

In-N-Out Picnic

The annual In-N-Out Picnic was much earlier this year.  The last several years, it has been in August right around the start of school.  This year it was in June.  Travis had to miss it because he had scout camp.  Westley got to go as an associate and bring his own guest.  He wasn't in the picture with our family because we couldn't find him at the time.  It also was at a different place than Great Wold Lodge.  It was some water park that In-N-Out bought out for the day, which was nice because it was much less crowded.  We still had a great time, as we always do, eating In-N-Out burgers and hot dogs, endless amounts of ice cream and other treats and snacks, and swimming in the water park.

Gymnastics Exhibition

Jonah and Annmarie had their gymnastics exhibition.  It was actually supposed to be in April but was canceled due to a storm that knocked the power out at the gym.  They both did well and Jonah won the trophy for the boys!
