Saturday our Bethany Sylvia turned one month!
I probably should have waited until she was a little happier for these pictures.
We did our chores, Dan worked at the Foster Care booth again at the fair, McKenna came home from the sleepover, the kids watched a movie in the afternoon. In the evening we went out for dinner and put the kids to bed a little early because everyone seemed to have a case of the grumpies (they were all a little over tired!).
Sweet snuggles with Dad.
Sunday I was planning to go back to church, but since Anna was still a little sick, we decided I'd stay home with her and Bethany.
My parents had dinner with us, we played a round of Rummikub, and the kids put on a show for us. McKenna also told us the story of the Jaredites and the barges and the 16 stones.
Monday, McKenna had her last sewing class with Grandma Sibber for the Summer. They made the hand towels that will hang over a bar towel rack.
We had some neighbors over in the afternoon for a play date and the kids loved their grandma sleepovers so much, they planned a "cowboy/cowgirl" party for these friends as well.
Loving this tiny lady!
Tuesday, my dear friend/BYU roommate Brittay E. came to visit! She lives in Santa Fe and her husband had a work conference in Park City. It was so nice to talk and talk while the kids played.
We even had lunch together. Anna didn't quite make it for this picture because she was already down for a nap.
Tuesday evening we cleaned out the breezeway on the side of our house and had a picnic "back to school" dinner outside. The weather was too perfect! The kids loved drawing on the paper table cloth and telling us all about what they're nervous and excited for the upcoming school year. I made their favorite pasta salad to make it even more enjoyable for them. ;)
Dan also gave McKenna and Ben back to school Priesthood Blessings. They were very reverent and calm during the prayers. :)
Wednesday was McKenna's first day of first grade! She's going to have a great year!
Wednesday eveing Ben got a haircut (buzz) from daddy.
Bedtime stories and Dan handling 4 kids like a pro!
More Bethany expressions
Thursday we got to have a cousin swim day at the Winegar's pool!
We taught the kids how to chicken fight. Good times. :)
Thursday evening we walked to a neighbor's house to deliver some treats for their son who got his wisdom teeth out. My cute little stair-step people!
Snuggly baby!
Friday after McKenna got home from school everyone had a case of the grumpies! So, by some miracle, I made/got everyone down for a nap AT THE SAME TIME for about an hour.
After dinner we went to a baptism for one of my Primary kids.
The kids pretending to take "selfies" before the baptism.
The main reasons I made everyone nap earlier in the day was in preparation for their first Drive-in movie; Minions. It was cute but I definitely like the Despicable Me movies better.
Getting all set up.
Playing Uno while we wait for it to start.
We brought tons of popcorn and oatmeal cream pies.
Anna didn't appreciate the flash in this picture.
Saturday, I dressed the girls up to match!
We did our chores, then we had Stake Conference meetings in the evening. Our niece Emma babysat for us and the kids loved it. We took Bethany with us. The adult session was so uplifting and inspiring. Our visiting Gen. Authority was Elder Stephen Allen, managing director of the Missionary Department. He taught and trained on the importance of a high functioning ward council and even held two mock ward councils for which he gave different scenarios. We enjoyed some frozen treats with Dan's parents afterwards.
Sunday, we enjoyed Stake Conference and the kids did pretty well sitting for two hours!
We had a fun Webster family "Back to School" dinner at Gma and Gpa's house in the evening and Sam and Lara provided Hokulia for dessert! It was fun to hear a few people share stories of their time in school.

Busy busy with school starting. How fun though! I love those picnic ideas. :) Cute Bethany as always, I can't believe she is a month old already!
Kenna's choice of towel is great! I totally would have picked the same one :) I love that everyone loves the pasta salad. It is only a 75% winner in our house :( You taught the kids how to chicken fight?!?! What is wrong with you!!! I want a snuggly baby!!! I'm so jealous of the drive in movie. Also, in the flash picture, I think Anna looks soooooo much like your baby pictures.
