Monday the kids had Taggart and Phebe over to play. After dinner we went to the Roths for cookies and milk.
Tuesday, Bethany's morning breakfast hair, styled with banana.
We had another swim day at Mantua with friends. Kylee, Molly, Melissa, Leslie, Sarah, and Laura L. came. Again, the kids had a blast and I loved being able to hang out with my friends too. :) We left by 4:45pm and headed to Wendy's for dinner then went straight to Ben's first soccer game of the season. Dan is his coach this time! What a guy! He makes sure all the kids are having FUN!
Wednesday we did some things around the house, the kids played at the Alexander's, I took dinner to my friend Melissa Smith who just had a baby, and I went to a meeting for Ben's music class.
Thursday we toured the Beehive house with Brynn and kids, Grandma, and Whitney. Before we went, I briefly explained why they call it the Beehive house. I said something like, "bees have to work very hard to make honey, just like the pioneers were such hard workers."
During the tour, the sister missionaries asked if anyone knew why it was called the Beehive House. Ben raised his hand and gave an awesome answer. I remember him saying..."It takes bees a long time to make honey and they have to work really hard just like the pioneers had to work hard and it took them a long time to cross the plains." The missionaries said he explained it better than they could have. So cute.
After the quick tour, Grandma was nice enough to take us out to lunch at the Lion House!
We also had a fun little photo shoot.
Such fun and cute cousins.
That evening I took McKenna and Ben to their back to school night and gave Dan a haircut.
Friday Dan went boating with a Sunday School class from church to help be a chaperone. Mickelle came to babysit in the evening and we bounced back to Lagoon with the older two! LOTS of fun with them and an ice cream cone on the way home!
Saturday I went running, Dan did some service with the stake youth. After lunch we went to Leatherby's for a delicious treat with the Trevor and Kristin Salter and kids. Dan and Trevor were mission companions! Such a great couple! Wish we could have spent more time with them, but we're thankful for anytime we get when people come to visit Utah.
My sister came to babysit while Dan and I got to go to the temple. I ran into two friends from my teaching days at Woods Cross Elementary. After we did initiatories, Dan and I had a nice walk and talk around the temple discussing our future and goals and such.
Sunday I spoke in church about my experience at stake girls camp being over the service project.
Anna put her own earrings on. ;)
In the evening I had stake choir and we watched Olympics.

A Lot of the time I am very jealous that you have so much family around to enjoy and spend time with. But I also see how busy your schedule is, and it doesn't always bother me so much then ;)
