Sunday Fun!

Clark just keeps growing.  The boys were cleaning out their closet and found this old suit that they had inherited.  They decided to have Clark try it on and the jacket fit really well!  This kid is only 10!  He's getting so tall!  

Also, Daddy is so cute and loves to have fun with the kids!  He was being silly with Grant so I had to take some pics... and then the other kids joined in too :)

 

Squishmallows

Our kids LOVE squishmallows!  They were playing upstairs and told me to come up and find Clark.  They did a great job of organizing all of the "friends" and hiding Clark among them.  Too funny!

 

First Day of Co-op!

This is a very different year for us at Co-op.  With the world being shut down with Covid-19 it has made our usual activities more challenging.  To keep co-op open we had to do it at a families house.    Luckily, the Hull family has some land and was willing to host us each week for the fall semester!  

It was nice to be outside, even if it gets a bit warm.  The kids had a blast being with friends again too!  Even Grant came to help out!  Here's hoping the weather holds out and we have a great fall semester!

 

Chamas

Talmage has been working at Chamas Do Brazil for about a while.  He had mentioned to Grant that he could get him a job, but Grant wasn't quite sure he wanted a job.  Grant has been doing a mowing business for 2 summers.   By the end of this summer, Grant was really done with mowing so he took Talmage up on the job opportunity.  Now we have 2 boys working as runners (bus boys) at Chamas.  

Here's hoping they both have a good experience together! (and earn lots of money :))

 

Online College

We have 2 college kids this year!  Unfortunately, with Covid that means online school.  The boys were not too happy about it, but enrolled anyway.  Grant had time to play and even finished strong with a nap!  Here's hoping to a successful school year!  

 

First Day at Co-op!

With Covid life still hasn't returned to normal.  Luckily the Hull family was kind enough to host our co-op for the fall semester.  It was so great to be back with friends again!  Here's hoping for a great semester and amazing weather! 

Plasma

A new plasma center opened up nearby and I had to try it out.  They are new and it took a bit to get through the process, but it's worth it for some money.  Looks like I will be spending quite a bit of time here in my future :).

 

First Day of School

It's amazing that it's time for school again.  The summer really is too short!  The kids did great and were very ready to start up again.  Lorna is in 3rd Grade, Clark in 5th, Mhari in 7th, and Sandra in 9/10th.  They keep growing up and learning so much!

School is exhausting!

Grant didn't want to be left out :)

 

Ranch Update

More work on the ranch.  Delivered more barbed wire for the fencing.  Also investigated a possible well.  We have lots to still discover about our ranch!

Primary Fun

Clark and Lorna enjoyed going and especially getting their popsicles.  Jeff and I were gone to the ranch, but Talmage was good enough to take them for us!  They loved getting to do something after being shut down for so long!

 

Pool Trouble

I came out to find the pool hot tub empty!  What kind of trickery is this?  I contacted the pool guy and he mentioned he would come see.  Of course something was broken... and after some money it was good as new... a new pump :(

 

Furry Friends

We went and hung out with the Hull family.  I love that our kids love each other!  Our kids especially loved visiting Savanah's bunny Jam.  He is so beautiful and soft!  

 

Taller?

Grant has been growing and growing!  He has finally passed Talmage in height, but the real challenge is passing Daddy!  He's not quite there, but he's still trying!  Silly boys!
