This summer has been laid back. I continue to like living in Plain City and the kids really like that we are closer now. The kids have made some friends in our ward here and Luke, in particular, has become good friends with a boy not far from us. Luke and Duncan have spent their time hunting for frogs, fish, and snakes. Having lemonade stands, running between houses, playing in water and having late nights. They are fun to watch. They recently caught a huge tad pole with their other friend, Seth. Luke even gave Duncan a catfish he had caught when he went fishing with Brandon one morning. Luke and Duncan explained to me that Duncan needed to keep it at our house because he needed to have a pet at our house. Brandon and I let him know that there was no room at the inn and the fish would have to go back to the wild. Little did I know, Duncan took it home. He took the tadpole home too. Amy and I remain friends despite the critters that make their way from our house to hers! Whew!
Liz has been practicing doing hair and Brandon has become her model. He is so pretty!
We had s'mores at Brian and Andrea's house one night while David and Olga were in town. Andrea, I love you. Those were the worst s'mores. Ever! Who knew that a gram cracker could go stale??!?? So I have yet to have had my summer fix of s'mores and summer is almost over!!!
Little Lincoln tends to have the same facial expression. He is such a sweet and mellow baby. We love playing with him, especially the kids. I get zero holding time with him with our kids around! Brandon realized the other day that his facial expression reminds him of Zoolander (which happens to be Andrea's (Lincoln's mom) favorite movie!). So we now refer to it as "Blue Steel".
Brandon got a pedicure at Girls Camp and we had quite the time getting all the glitter off his toes. But he wore his badge of honor, proudly. Love my B!
Charlie is huge. Kind of going through a rebellious stage. Trying to figure out how to nip that in the bud. ASAP!
One night, I sent out a text to the numbers I had in my phone for girls in my new ward to meet up at the Maverick for a coke. We were there til 2 a.m. and a sort of tradition has formed. Brandon has named it the "Summer Special". There are over 20 girls on the list to get the text now. I send it out about 30 minutes before and we meet up after everyone's kids are in bed and grab a coke, snow cone or some treat and sit and gab and laugh. It has become such a fun for thing for us to do! Best stress relief, ever!
