Wave bye-bye, Emily! She's pushing a dolly stroller through the house.
Playing Peek-a-boo over Daddy's shoulders.
Kaylee making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies with some of her helpers.
This was a bit of a spur of the moment trip to Herriman. *I* was just up there last month, but Mike stayed home sick. Nick was getting a new calling as a member of their Ward Bishopric, so we worked hard at getting a sub for our Primary class on Sunday and headed up on Saturday around noon.
Kaylee always has good meals--and she made TACOS for dinner on Saturday. One of Mike's favorites. But mostly we just played with kids and watched their family play and work together. Sunday was full of church from 9 to 11, then games. And naps for some. It was a fairly quick trip and we're glad we went. I actually stayed home with kids so just Nick and Kaylee and Mike could go while Nick was set apart for his calling later in the afternoon after church.
We drove home on Monday at noon through 60 mph PLUS winds! Yowza. So much dust in the air every where.
This is Dino-Nick who grabbed a cookie off the counter with his teeth and Logan is just cracking up! Nick needed hands to help him eat the cookie.
Jane's learning to play the Memory/matching game. For about 2 and a half minutes. ha.
Fun fishing game with lots of giggles.
There's dust blowing in the distance, but up close are lots of fields of vibrant lavender-colored flowers. Weeds, actually. Purple mustard perhaps. They ARE pretty. This photo hardly does it justice.
To look at Mike sitting there on the couch, you'd never know he's lost close to 20 pounds. We still have a long way to go, the two of us. But we are progressing and getting a little smaller and lighter each month, so that's good.
That pose! Logan is drawing on a little scribble pad. He's so intent!
Sometimes, it's just the simple things--like wooden building blocks! That's what is entertaining Jane.
Me and the girls.
I tried to post a video. Probably isn't going to work. Sorry. It's just dust in the wind.
We were watching field after field of bare ground just go soaring away all along the freeway on our drive home Monday afternoon. I commented that the poor people here in this county are losing their fields! Mike said, "Look on the bright side--someone else is gaining a new field!" So I guess we can think that St. George blew to Cedar, Cedar's dirt went to Parowan, Parowan's went to to Beaver, Beaver's dirt to Fillmore, etc, etc. . . all the way up the state.
Talk about dirty cars! Ugh. We exited at Beaver and in the few seconds from the car to inside the building, we had grit in our teeth.
