Back to School Fall 2021

We are all so happy that the boys have awesome teachers!

I took no "first day of school pics"; 

but since my mom is over-friendly and all my friends like her, 

they texted her these moments.

It's been a tiring week, no one is used to

"seeing other people" for 7 hours, 

& being asphyxiated by ones own bad breath with 7 hours of masks, 

but mama and Lilli are "living their best life" with us shipped off. 

Lilli's new home school regime will soon come 

with lots of great pictures, 

I'm sure including the Taco Bell Reward Center. 

Staycation

 The week before school started mom tried to pack in some fun family time. 

Here’s our “Vacation/Staycation 2021” … 

"Nickle Nickle"

Man Points

We keep telling Axel he is racking up “man points” he likes to help daddy and he does the brave things like killing the “spider beetle” in the car (you should heard heard us screaming)!

 

Seeing Shannie

And Bo, oh no! 

Well, for my brothers and sister the dog was a highlight but we all really enjoyed Shannie twice this summer!

I got to go to my first mini “Quince” for a friend. It was so fun to dress up and hang out (it was a long month)! 
 

July Memories

Here are some of our July memories...

 (note there will be no pictures of me because this is the summer I took 6 hour in person PE…

and PErsevered! ) 

Lilli, Evi and Gracie did a fun week of volleyball camp. 

We still got to visit with Lola on Sundays, and even see baby Kobi. 

Unexpected surprises…

Some normal summer days. 

 

Celebrate Freedom

The 

Forth of July, 2021

We finally got to see our friends and celebrate like normal!

 Then Mikayla and I got our long overdue 2nd piercing. 

Things are always better together!

 

Alone Time

 While we were away even dad got to play. 

Texas, here we come…

 The 5 of us got to go visit Aunt Shannie in Texas. Lots of “tears from heaven” but blessed and holding on to hope. Thankful for good memories! 

June Fun

 

Nana got an awesome present for her birthday, a new house. 

We enjoyed celebrating with her. 

Nana sponsored the teen beach trip when mom had to stay home and watch sick kiddos.

It is pretty amazing how they support my fun ideas. 

Just some other summer fun… 

Just some other summer fun… 

Auf Wiedersehen

 We said goodbye to our dear cousins who are moving for a season to Germany. 

So many wonderful memories. They will be missed!!!

With daddy’s gardening and swinging skills, mama now has a kid swing and a “relaxing” porch swing. We have waited for this avocado and pineapple for a while but mama says it was all worth the wait.
