Dear H, O and B,

Once again, in our effort to have the funnest summer ever, this week did not disappoint!

We watched sandwich bags explode, raced balloon rockets, created a working clock that used a lemon and an orange for power, went to swim/dive class, swam at Nana and Papa’s a ton, learned how Huge Golaith was and how hard it is to use a sling like David did to take him down, and went to the science center. Hayden, you took a popcorn bowl pottery painting class on Monday with Hannah Jane and had a blast. You also set up a family tree chart for your PTC taste test survey with Allie, which was a blast.

We are making memories this summer. It’s so fun!

Love you,
Mama

A few other memorable moments: 🙂

Dear H, O and B,

This was one of the hottest weeks in Phoenix EVER. So, we spent a lot of time swimming in Nana and Papa’s pool as well as inside doing other activities.

This week, we made ice volcanoes and DIY lava lamps. We also talked about how God is like air inside of a balloon – you can’t see Him, but you know he’s there because he changes things. This was especially fun because we partially blew up balloons and let them go — and they flew all over the house! It was hilarious and Owen, you laughed so hard over and over again until your face was red and your sides hurt!

Hayden, on Wednesday night, Meggy took you to go see a live performance of The Little Mermaid at the Arizona Broadway Theatre and you had an amazing time! After the show, you got to meet the actors and actresses. You got home at 10:30 and you were so deliriously tired that you weren’t even making sense!

On Friday night, Dad had to work late, so we met him for dinner at St. Francis.

We’ve had another awesome week!

Love you,
Mama

Dear H, O and B,

We had more summer fun this week because it was VBS week at the church we just started regularly attending! We have been very comfortable there for the last several weeks, so I decided to volunteer for VBS and get to know some people better. The only way to make friends is to put yourself out there and get involved! Madison and Andrew were with us for the week, too, which made the week even more fun and exciting.

In addition to VBS, Hayden, you had your first diving classes this week and Owen and Bennett, you had swim lessons with Mr. Christian. Summer is about to pass up the Christmas season as my favorite time of year. We are having a blast!

Love you,
Mama

Dear H, O and B,

This weekend we went camping with all of the families from the Girl Scout troop. It was so much fun! Each family planned some activities, so we had a lot of fun experiences!

Love you,
Mama

Dear H, O and B,

We had a great second week of summer! It was a short one because we left to go camping on Thursday. This week we did Skittles math, went to he Monday movie, made homemade bubbles, built a pool noodle ramp and raced marbles down it, went to the dinosaur play date at Peter Piper Pizza, oxidized pennies, hit the water park and acted out the story from Exodus 17 in which Moses gets a little help from his friends to carry a heavy load. We left to camp with the families from the girl scout troop on Thursday! It was a blast and will have to be a separate post! As always. I feel so blessed to be making so many fun memories with you!

Love you,
Mama
