Benji was in Chess the Musical at the high school!! It was fun to go watch him perform! We took the whole family for Opening night.
It was fun to watch Benji and Lalo up there in their element. They played their parts well! (even if a few of our kids fell asleep – it was 2 hours and 45 minutes long)
Baby Sitting Quincy and some of Becca’s kids. And moving the trampoline over to the old garden spot! My kids are absolutely loving the new location. And a weeknight soccer game! Cali played well in this one but they just couldn’t score and ended up losing to a team they shouldn’t have. She asked coach what she could work on and he said speed and the hard clear.
I made the boys go to the orthodontist. Benji learned that he is missing 2 adult teeth! His baby teeth are still in and may stay for a while but there are no adult teeth to fill their spot. He is trying to decide if he wants braces or not…. And Packer still has to wait for some teeth to come in – he’s finally lost them all but it’s too early to brace them.
Another day in the life with Nixon – he swung the baseball bat and golf club for probably 3 hours. It’s been beautiful porch weather – soaking in the Lilacs and the trampoline!
Benji drove the first 2 hours to St. George! We had to take 2 cars so that Benji could come back early with Lalo for theater. Benji did great on his first freeway driving!
We ate at the pizza place on the way down and then headed straight for the swimming pool!!
And then we HAD to get some Custard!
Benji got a pin at high school wrestling!

Tiago wrestled in his FIRST ever Tournament at PG Highschool. He got beat pretty bad the first match and was pretty defeated. He got beat up again the 2nd match but recovered a little quicker. Then the 3rd match he won – just barely! He the W and the medal and was so HAPPY.
Raymond lost his first 2 matches and then won his 3rd – just like Tiago. They only practiced for 1 week before the tournament and there aren’t many wrestlers this year because of Covid-19. Good Job Boys!
Packer also won 1 of his 3 matches! he beat the 1 guy in over time and it was pretty intense. Packer looked tough out there! AND Benji had to be there all day to help run the tournament with all of the high school guys.
Highschool and Junior High don’t have school on Wednesdays. Joel needed 7 holes dug to plant some trees so we went to work!!
The three of us dug from about 9am until 2pm. It was hard work but it was also fun to work with these two and spend time with them doing something good. I LOVED it. And Joel and Megan even paid them $20 a hole.
Benji got to go shooting for young mens! Ben too, they both liked it and Ben keeps wishing he had a gun.
3rd times the charm! stinking test was hard but he’s officially allowed to learn to drive!
This kid finally got a haircut this year! It’s fun letting it grow and seeing how it flows. Looking Good Benj!
