July Jumble

A bunch of extra pics that I didn't post about....



When your husband works on his school's shrubs on his day off...
and his folded laundry pile looks like this...
He might be too full of BDP.

 These cute boys had fun going to the Sheriff's baseball camp together.
They had a huge group at the camp.


They have fun playing together off the field too.

Pretty butterflies in our yard.
I was proud of Christian for his hard work in our yard.

Grant was pretty excited to go to the Sheriff's football camp, CFA's camp, amd to get to start practicing with the Tarheels.
V's job is pretty great! She got a certification to teach swim lessons and has started doing that before or after a lot of her shifts! I am so proud of her. She has had good success with her students and I am proud of her for being a go-getter!
Who doesn't love a moo-thru cone?!
 Love lazy reading time too!

I finally took these kids to Krispy Kreme for their "Report Card Donuts"


Lion King


Katherine did CFA cheer camp too to kick off her season!
Danny put up a zipline in the yard!

Visits to Grandma and Grandpa!



We met up with Paige and her kids too! They came to Richmond to a family reunion, in spite of Paige's colon cancer diagnosis and treatment! She is handling this like a champ! 
I am still the YW president at church. This was Caroline and Johanna's last Sunday in our ward and we will miss them tremendously.

I love this crazy crew!




Special outing with Christian- so fun!


Crafts with Kate

Grant made one too!

How lucky am I to get to spend time with these wonderful humans?! I love summer!

Swim Team 2019

Katherine and Grant swam for the Barnstormers and both improved so much this year! Grant could already swim pretty well, but Katherine went from struggling to swim at all to being able to dive in and swim  to the end of the pool and back, even in a relay race. The swim team was a great way to start the day at a reasonable time and gave us plenty of sunshine and exercise. They worked hard, made friends, and had fun!

Danny and I enjoyed making new friends, volunteering as timers at all of the meets, and cheering for our kids. I realize that there aren't many pictures of them actually swimming, but there are tons of race videos. Unfortunately, those aren't posting properly.















They were very pleased with their medals and also earned lots of ribbons over the course of the great season. We were thankful for a laid back, fun atmosphere, that still helped them learn and grow a lot!

FINALLY, a beach day!

This summer has been super busy with swim team, baseball, cheer conditioning, cross country conditioning, YW/YM, cubscouts, trips to Richmond to see my parents, Victoria's job, youth conference, EFY, girls camp, sports camps, a summer musical and more! Danny stays busy with work too. We usually go to the beach a lot, but not this summer! But the kids and I found a fantastic day and finally went!
