Benji made it home from Scout Camp on Saturday morning and played with cousins and then in the afternoon we asked him to do some chores and he just CRASHED. He couldn’t comprehend and had a melt down. Ben helped him figure it out and tried to teach him that even when we are worn out and tired we still have to choose to do what we are asked and we choose our attitude 🙂 His buddy Seth stopped by in the middle of that life lesson with a late birthday present.

And that night Benji got to babysit while we went to the game! I love being at the field and I love when it is good weather

On Sunday we had our Nettesheim Fireside and then celebrated Grandpa’s 70th Birthday!!

THESE GUYS! ready for JR. HIGH? I love that they still play and have fun and don’t have to be too cool.

Ray and Rose are so excited to start school. They both have the same size shoe right now.

 

FHE! FINALLY

Friends over at the house on a summer day: Millie made a new friend when LaNell brought Andrew over to play.

I am still the Wolf Den Leader:

Kelsey and I took the kids to the pond. We stopped and got XL drinks at Maverick cause they were free so… And then Brady! showed up at the pond and surprised us!

Thursday Night I went to Ben’s soccer game! He is blurry in the pic cause he was running really fast 🙂 And right after the soccer game we picked LaNell up at the mouth of the canyon and drove to Sundance to watch Jacob and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. We met the Hancocks up there and sat through a little rain. It was a fun show!

And then the kids finished THE SUMMER CHART!! They were so happy to be done!
