Labor Day fun!

We took advantage of the last really warm weekend of the summer, on Labor Day --pretty impressive for Idaho to still be warm enough to hit the pool.  The kids talk about going to Riverdale Resort every time we pass by, so we surprised them and took them.  It's a bit run down but we all had a blast on the tube slide!















 

8th grade Football

 One of the BEST things about being back in school was getting back to sports!  Laexin decided to play football this year for the first time since 4th grade.  He loves football, but has been nervous about getting hurt...do you blame him, he doesn't want to get smashed 😵



Turns out, he is a pretty good player --he had some amazing first couple of games where he scored a touchdown at both of them and some major turnovers.  Then he lost a bit of his confidence and got nervous and had a couple of crappy games but ended the season with an amazing game fighting like a champ in defense with some great tackles, making a touchdown and a 2-point conversion!


Thank heavens for other Mom's who got some good shots for me 😀

Back to School 2020!

 I got to help chaperone a end-of-summer/back-to-school party at the Clegg's pond with Laexins friends --two parties at the pond in two weeks!  They had a blast!




Back to school looked so much different for most of America.  We were so blessed in our community to go back to school with NO restrictions.  The kids were THRILLED, as was I.  These kids need to be in the classroom and with their peers and teachers - it was an extra happy day!

Back to school night!







                                                    SOOO Happy to be getting on that bus!



Then it was Linqs turn to head to Kindergarten in the afternoon!



Day 2!




Linq often thinks that we need pictures every day now!

The first couple weeks of school this girl managed to pull out BOTH of her front teeth!




Swim lessons

At the beginning of August the three younger kids took swim lessons with Suzy at lava.  They love swim lessons!

















 Loa basically graduated from swim lessons, and Lytzi made some awesome improvements and can now jump off the diving board and swim to the side on her own!  


And...some random crazy phone pictures :)
