September Extra's

Konrad is Ollie's favorite.  Here he is sitting outside his office waiting for him to open the door.

Sometime we lose Ollie b/c he is so dark and he likes dark places.  Luckily he had his leash on!

A praying mantis at our wards 2nd-3rd grade socialization group (at Crestwood Elementary)

All the kids checking it out:

Sam got her cast off:

Walking the dog happens 2-3 times a day:

We made some Ooblick for Cam to play with and Sam had to jump in as well.  Cornstarch and water makes a crazy solution.  Solid with pressure, liquid with no pressure.  

De-float the floaties day is always a sad day...

Sunday lunch included: waffles, cereal, and a muffin and yogurt.  Breakfast all day everyday please.  

Some smoke still showing on the hill about Winco:

Tami Hansen and I decorated Melody's house for her 40th birthday:

Besties :)

He loved this spot for awhile

Allison proving that she can make a decent heart with her hands :)

The Baumgartner's came into town for the weekend so we got together at the Liechty's.  Tami can't get over the fact that we both have dogs and made us take a pic with them:

Sister time:

Allison has a friend that lives down the lake from us so she can paddleboard to his house if she'd like to

A beautiful sky!

Madeline and Cam:

Cam's first "can't put the book down" moment.  She loved the book "Smile".

Steph and I trying to see who's tan was better:

Love this sign!

Our van hit 200,000 miles on the way to Lake Cushman!!!

Jordyn loves to play games and she has been coming to my parents on Sunday's to play Hearts but had never one.  It finally happened and she actually Shot the Moon to win!!  There were happy tears and it was awesome!

Allison is 15!!!

 The pictures are backwards again so from the last celebration to the first one!  So annoying!!!

She just wanted money so she got smaller gifts with money attached:

Cold Stone for dessert:

Cam and I weren't getting ice cream so we stayed in the car and took pictures :)

She wanted monkey bread for breakfast:

Sunday we had the family over for dinner to celebrate:

Cookie bowls this time for dessert:

Two Sunday's before her birthday we celebrated with my family b/c my parents were leaving town.  Kenzie had "grandma cake" and Allison chose peanut butter brownie cookies:

Allison's Birthday Weekend at the Cabin

For Allison's birthday she really wanted to go somewhere with her friends.  Due to Covid, hotels would be tricky and the pools wouldn't be open, and traveling is hard in September for me b/c of preschool.  But we asked the Molen's if we could use their cabin and they said yes.  We left Friday afternoon around 1:30 and got home on Sunday around 4:00 (we had planned to be home by 2, but the sun came out and the girls wanted to swim, so I said go for it! Sometimes we have to live in the moment!).  

It was a fun weekend full of candy, Harry Potter movies, games, wind, rain, sunshine, photo shoots, and so much laughter!  

I really love these 4 together and I hope they can always stay friends!

"Okay, laugh!"

She was so proud of herself for throwing up a sign, but then realized she forgot the 'L' haha!

Of course there was tik-tok-ing:

And Sunday, late morning, the sun came out!!!

Phone pictures:

The Cabin is one of my very favorite places in this state!

Staring at Draco Malfoy:

It was so so so windy for most of the weekend.  I found a warm sunny spot on the ground, next to the wind-blocking dock for reading my book:

BS

S'mores.  Grateful the wind died down a bit for a fire:

Of course they played airplane as well:
