Church, Swimming, Tile, Paint, and More Swimming!

Last Sunday, we attended church in PV.  They received our records so they read our names in during Sacrament Meeting.  I stayed after for choir practice, then we headed to the house to check on the paint.  They had a good start on the paint.  It was after 2 before we got home, but since the kids snacked on pretzels and cereal all the way home, they weren't too hungry.  Kaylee must have also been tired, since she slept most of the way home from church.

Later that night I caught the kids singing and talking into the fan, which is something every child needs to do a least a dozen times!  It was hilarious!

 On Monday, the older kids went to their first day of play practice with Grandma.  After they got home, we had a quick lunch and headed to Ogden.  Natalie invited us to go swimming at their pool in their complex.  It was SO hot, so any chance we have to cool off in water, we take it!  The kids had a blast and we could have swam for hours, but I had to pick up a key to our new house from Nilson Homes and then pick Nick from work.  We made a trip to Costco, enjoyed a pizza dinner there, and then stopped by the house on the way home to see the progress on the paint.  It was so close to getting done and we were pleasantly surprised that the tile in the laundry and bathrooms were laid.  I can't wait to go back and see how it looks with it grouted.

 When we got home that evening, we had the yummiest watermelon on the porch with Grandma.  It was a beautiful evening once it cooled off a bit.

 On Tuesday, we made plans to meet up with my cousin, Alena, who was in town from AZ.  We met at Mantua Res since it was on her way to Logan, where she was headed that afternoon to visit friends. Natalie and her girls were also able to come and we spent a few hours playing in the water.  Nick got off work early, so he was able to come and play for a bit and help get the kayaks loaded back into the trailer.  I left a little early so I could get Carson back in time for scouts.  Unfortunately, they ended up not having scouts, so we went to Feldman's and had ice cream instead.  It was kind of a fun little afternoon date with him.
