Liam activity days swimming and Norberg reunion

Liam had a super fun activity days (THANK YOU 100 DEGREE August days!) at the Handy pool. It was really fun.

We went to the Norberg Reunion the evening of Ryan's birthday. Adeline found her fun little cousin Natalie who is her same age within a month and once they remembered they were "friends" they played together the whole night :)

Boys hanging out.

Studying the random grill vent in the grass.

Playing with cousins.

It was a fun night! It was fun to see some of the cousins we don't see as often!

More fun swim time!
 

Evelyn's birthday Part 2

Opening presents.

I found this sequin jacket at a random thrift store a month or so ago. I KNEW Evelyn would LOVE it. And I was right!

Getting her own scripture case for her scriptures.

More fun things.

Evelyn's favorite part of her birthday was having a couple of her friends over for a lateover. First they decorated pink cupcakes.

Collin came and decorated a cupcake.

Liam did too.

Then they painted nails.

And did all the sticker books that Evelyn got for her birthday. They stayed from 730-9. It was a true PARTY of a DAY!

 

Evelyn's 8th birthday, Part 1

Evelyn's 8th birthday! She requested waffles with sprinkles, whipped cream, and blueberries.

After school, Grandma and Grandpa took the family to get a special "treat" at Arctic Circle.

Blue Hawaiian cone and got to play on the play area for a bit.

Evelyn requested going to all star to do arcade games and bowl.

Ironically, Evelyn was AHEAD the ENTIRE game of everyone! Even Grandpa! Until the last frame when I got 2 strikes in a row (a MIRACLE itself!) to pull ahead. We had a fun time bowling.

The start of Evelyn's winning.

 Redeeming for prizes.

Adeline's first day of kindergarten, Liam's first day of middle school, and Collin tries to be like Grandpa cooking hamburgers

These pictures are out of order, but Adeline's teacher sent this picture of her during her first day of kindergarten. She is my first all-day kindergartner, so that is exciting!

Collin trying to make more hamburgers like grandpa :)

Liam had covid the week before school started, so he had to miss the first two days. So here is his first day of school of middle school, 6th grade.

Adeline's first day of kindergarten. She has been SO excited FOR FOREVER.

Waiting in line to go in.

Getting her name badge.

She looks so big!

I went and met the kids after, also just to see if Adeline would make it walking home. She did great!

Teacher pics of the first day of school. LOVE Adeline's excitement face.
