We started Millie in Soccer this year. Maren and Cora and Benson and Lucas are all on her team! She is liking it so far. And Tiago is wishing he was on the team. He looks forward to practice more than anyone else.
Millie was so ready to go! Starting a weeks after the older kids is a bummer! She was happy to know Benson and Rex and Cora! She made a new friend named Tommy and says she plays with him the most. We rode scooters to school the first week. The second week I started sending her with friends!
This is where we pick them up after school. This was day 2, Millie wore her Manila Mustangs shirt 🙂 So far she is doing great and loving school. She called one day with a tummy ache and came home early – – – she was just hungry. Today she called cause her pants got wet on the slide but I told her to just wait the 30 minutes until school was over. Tiago and I are adjusting to our new schedule w/o her.
When you have to go to school but it’s still 95 degrees out and noone has homework or soccer practice!! We grabbed some friends and went to the Geneva splashpad for the afternoon!!
After lots of hard work and campouts and merit badges – Benji had his Eagle review and he passed! We’re Proud of Him.
She wanted bangs so she got bangs!
We had a good first day of school! These kids were all excited but trying not to be excited. I feel like summer went way to fast but HERE WE GO!
Benji is in 9th grade! a freshman! He was so happy to have Packer at school with him and Luca in carpool and eat lunch with them!
Packer is in 7th grade and new to Jr High. He is liking switching classses. I just like calling him a Sevie.
Cali is a 5th grader this year. She is in Ms Myntiis class and most of her best friends are all in her class this year!
Rose is in Mrs. Long’s 3rd grade! She was EXCITED about her teacher and now she is excited to make friends cause none of hers are in her class.
Ray is in Ms Read’s class – 2nd Grade. That’s the teacher that Rose had last year so they are excited. He’s got a couple of his buddies in his class!
young mens tree work, one more backyard swim, and I thought Rays tithing envelope was too sweet not to post!
We got called in to meet with the Stake President on Sunday August 11th and Ben got called to be the 1st Counselor in the new bishopric! We were pretty surprised but excited to serve. The next Sunday we were supposed to be coming home from the wedding in CA but we came home early so that we could be there for the calling, sustaining, setting apart and everything that happened that Sunday the 18th. Ben was ordained to the office of High Priest! It was great to be there and it feels like the perfect calling at this time!
Ben will be serving with Bishop Jared Mitchell and Adam Harris and Dana Stott. He and Adam were the Tecahers Quorum Leaders so they got to fulfill that calling a few more weeks while they got new leaders in place. Here they are at TibbleFork with the YM.
I’m also getting released since Melinda had to get released. It took 3 weeks but they just got Kim to be the new president and I handed my things off to Holly, and Lori and Sherry. I loved serving in the RS Presidency. My favorite part was getting to know and visit with some women in the ward thtat I hadn’t even really met. And I loved getting to know BOTH of my presidencies! I love those ladies a lot. So I’m callingless for now and trying to capitolize on my ministering assignments and MOTHERING.
