August Stuff

Volunteering for the Book Fair at school.

My friend Nicole published a book and we are advertising. 

I got to be the spotlight in the Relief Society newsletter.

Kendall got an eye infection after swimming at the house with her friend Camryn. There was gelatin-looking stuff on the bottom of her eyeball. It was so nasty that I called Paul and asked him what I should do. He said it was an allergic reaction and would go away on its on. We could put eye drops to help with the itching and infection, but it wasn't necessary. Kendall refused the eye drops and we waited it out. But she kept itching her eye, so the gelatin-like stuff came back another time or two. 3 full days went by before her eye was completely back to normal.

We had a Minute-to-Win-it Games activity at the church and the girls loved it! It was so much fun! A great turnout, too.

We went to the Chandler Mall with Berkley, and the girls did more playing than shopping, but it was fun!

They even made Teddy bears who got married to each other.

We went to a Bingo night at Ryan Elementary. We came close to winning a few times...

But it was Alexis who got a Bingo!

I volunteered at Feed My Children with my friend Angela and ran into my other friend Amanda's mom (Juniper's grandma).

Juniper's birthday party was the week after Alexis', and I was glad that our party was first because I would have felt a lot of pressure in planning ours. Juniper's party was so over-the-top. Amanda got a mermaid to entertain the kids. She rented these cute tiny tables and chairs. And she put together these balloon arches that were 100 times better than mine. She won. She had the better party. 

It rained!!! And it actually rained a lot this month. Arizona is thankful.

I did this diamond-by-number thing and it only took me 2 weeks to finish it.

School is tiring.

School spirit.

When she won't pose for Sunday pics... Gotta get her from the back.

It's fun to race your friends. It's even more fun when you beat them!

The YM and YW had a super fun activity and I'm so jealous! Taylor chickened out but Logan went on the sides multiple times. Taylor ended up doing the tube-thing being pulled by the boat and still had fun.

While the kids are at school, William and I have been going on mini-dates. They've all been centered around food. I work out hard so that I can indulge in these dates.
