We’ve just been running for the past few months, and I haven’t really had a chance to sit down and put any pictures up. Here’s my latest batch of everything we’ve been doing.
We’ve had a number of trips “back home”. My Dad’s dad’s health started going downhill, so I threw the kids in the car and drove home to see him before he passed.
We got to spend a little time with family, but it was a quick, sudden trip, so we didn’t really see anyone outside family.
We got back home and sent L to her last few weeks of Kindergarten. I was allowed to take S and J to her field day and spend time with her and her class.
Then L had her Kindergarten Graduation.
That’s her in the middle there. It was a short, little program, but it was cute. Poor C nearly lost it, laughing at the whole thing, but he was a good sport.
He did laugh at me for buying her flowers …
Then here we are, back in Utah at the zoo, when my Grandpa passed away. It was another whirlwind trip, but it was good to see everyone together.
My mom’s parents always take us to the zoo, and we’re so grateful to them. All three kids love it, and especially the new exhibits they have. I love Polar Bears!
And I love this picture of the giraffe …
Grandpa’s Funeral turned out really nice. He had the full military honors. The sad part of the day was that now, with Grandpa gone, it feels like the anchor has been lost. Most of my cousins, who I talked to, shared the same sentiment – that we wonder if we will all ever come together for anything again. Probably not in this life. It’s sad.
C was a pallbearer, so I had to get a picture of him with his Ogilvie tartan tie.
We got home and all three kids dropped down sick. This is poor J on the floor sacked out in front of a movie, hopped up on drugs. And just as soon as they got to feeling better, I came down with it. When I got better, I finally took the kids out to ride bikes (for the first time this summer – we’ve just been so busy!).
I took one look at S standing next to her bike and said, “Sorry, baby, you’re not going to be riding your bike today.”
S, “Why not!?”
Me, “Because you’re going to be riding L’s bike from now on.”
Sure enough, L had grown too big for it. Luckily she has a scooter she could ride, so she didn’t feel so left out.
And poor J … I just haven’t had the time to find something for him, so he ended up on S’s old bike.
He doesn’t know it’s pink!
I also pulled out the sprinkler for the kids this weekend.
They thought it was a drinking fountain!
J didn’t care for it, much, but he sure had a good time watching his sisters.
And finally, today the girls did the dishes for me after dinner. They’re growing up!
