Aug. '18- Week 2- Dan and Ben to CO, Giant Slip N Slide, Swimming at Gunnerson's, Extended Webster Gathering, Back to School, Dinner with Becca.

Wednesday I watered the lawn by hand for a bit because our sprinklers weren't working properly.  McKenna went and played at the Roth's.  I did more uniform laundry and had to clean up two pee accidents (Bethany and Alice).  Camille and McKenna then played over here for a bit and I did more uniform prep for Anna.  
Earlier that morning, Dan and Ben (along with the Jakes and their boys) left for a fun and quick trip to Colorado for a Rockies game!  
Their Uber ride was in a Tesla with the cool doors that open UP!
They took the boys to the a children's museum.  
They had a BLAST!  

Wednesday evening, poor Alice tummy was still learning how to digest big girl food, so I was supporting her as she was trying to poop.  
Then she enjoyed a tummy tickle.
Wednesday night, the girls and I went early to Dave and Laurie's ward youth activity-- a giant slip n slide!  I was so proud of all the girls being so brave and trying it!  
"I did it all myself!"


That night Anna slept in Bethany and McKenna's room for a sleepover.  

Thursday Dan and Ben got home around 10, then Dan headed to work.  
What Alice will look like with long hair.  :) 
Ben played at the Alexander's and we attended back to school night that evening.  

Friday we went swimming at the Gunnerson's with Henry and Desi Alexander.  (Brittana had to have emergency surgery on her arm for compartment syndrome.)  
They had me take some fun slow-mo videos.  


That evening I went to dinner with Mickelle and Becca in SLC.  
It was so great to catch up with her!  When I got home, there was a lovely handmade blanket for Alice from Amanda Koldewyn!  She's so kind, thoughtful and talented!  
Saturday we watched Charlie Stewart and had a deer walk around in our backyard.  We worked on cleaning and organizing.  Dan took the older three kids to the Bountiful arts festival and grocery shopping.  
 
After lunch we headed up to Mantua for the extended family Webster gathering.  
Some more videos of kids going down the slide.  


We showered the kids up there then they all fell asleep on the drive home.  

Sunday I helped sing "A Child's Prayer" in singing practice for the Primary Program and I introduced that the youth would be singing "Hope of Israel" in Sacrament meeting at the end of Sept.  
We had a relaxing afternoon and Jonathan came to hang out and played Scrabble. McKenna came with me once again to stake choir. 

Monday we met Anna's kindergarten carpool friends at Bountiful Park (Jamie Atkin-Emi and Janene Wirthlin-Annie).  Then we headed to Wal-Mart for some final back to school shopping.  Alice still needed help and love when trying to poop.  And she thankfully loved the prunes I gave her to help.  
We got Keva Juice and Great Harvest bread for lunch.  
We chilled in the afternoon and started making paracord ankle bracelets for all the kids.  I also worked on organizing the girls' hair stuff.
That night after nursing Alice (and her not really pooping well for days) she vomited on me, a lot!  I called the on-call doctor to make sure we didn't need to worry and he said we only need to worry in her belly feels hard and if the vomit is green colored.  Thankfully she didn't have either of those symptoms.  

Tuesday we ran errands to get some medicine for Alice as well as to the uniform store.  McKenna worked hard to finish her summer reading packet.  That evening we had our special back to school dinner.  We talked about a new theme for the year and Dan gave everyone special father's priesthood blessings.
