Slices of Life - August 2020

SWIMMING AT FLYING HORSE
AUGUST 1, 2020
Picture
Picture
The kids love swimming at Flying Horse because it isn't really crowded at all. With all the new restrictions we had a few hours in the afternoon time slot to play and have fun together. 

FIRST TIME BACK AT CHURCH
AUGUST 2, 2020
Picture
After over 4 months of not being able to meet with our congregation for church, the girls and I enjoyed being back at our church building for sacrament meeting while the boys were away.

GIRLS BIKE RIDE TOGETHER
AUGUST 3, 2020
Picture
Abby was so excited to go on a bike ride with her brand-new bike. The girls rode 8 miles up into the newer part of Cordera. They both love their new bikes.

ABBY’S GH TEST
AUGUST 11, 2020
Picture
With Peter and Emma both taking the growth hormone test a few times I thought it would be prudent to have Abby get tested just to make sure she was producing enough. She was a little nervous about the IV but she did a great job (update...she found out that she is deficient in producing growth hormone so she will be on GH shots for the next few years).

MADELINE AND GRANDPA
AUGUST 14, 2020
Picture
I love how sweet Madeline is with her grandpa. Most of the kids when they were younger always snuggled up to just grandma, but Madeline snuggles with her grandpa and her grandma. It is so cute. 

ANNIVERSARY DINNER
AUGUST 15, 2020
Picture
Picture
For our 22nd Anniversary dinner we headed to Prime 25 and had a delicious steak meal. It was nice to go out somewhere fancy to celebrate our special day.

GOOFY PETE
AUGUST 18, 2020
Picture
​I bought Peter a funny sweatband earlier this year and he decided one day to wear it and be super goofy. It was hilarious.

TEST DRIVING A TESLA
AUGUST 18, 2020
Picture
After sending Andrew off to start his mission I was a little sad, so Mike took me over to Tesla where I got to test drive the Model Y. It was so much fun. 

ELDER WILHELM
AUGUST 19, 2020
Picture
​We got a call from Andrew on his first day of online MTC. It was so good to see him and hear his voice. We are so thrilled that he gets to do his online MTC from grandpa’s house in VA.

DAD DOING MADELINE’S HAIR
AUGUST 20, 2020
Picture
​I came home from running one morning to find Mike trying to do Madeline’s hair. It was so cute that he was trying. I swept in and gave him a little help and he was so relieved.

FLOODING IN TOWN
AUGUST 20, 2020
Picture
​One of the most annoying parts of Colorado summers are the random torrential rainstorms that create intense flooding. On the way home from a canceled cross-country meet I witnessed how badly some parts of the town were affected by the previous down pour.

EMMA READING TO MADELINE
AUGUST 20, 2020
Picture
One of my greatest joys is watching my older kids read and play with Madeline. I loved watching Emma and Madeline read together. 

POOR AIR QUALITY WARNING
AUGUST 21, 2020
Picture
​The air quality has been so bad this month due to all the fires in CO, UT, and CA. It has made it really hard for Peter and Emma to run well in cross-country.

DOING PETER’S HAIR
AUGUST 24, 2020
Picture
Madeline loves to play pretend and had so much fun doing Peter’s hair. He was a good sport and played along with her. She was beyond happy to make him look pretty.

GRILLING KABOBS
AUGUST 24, 2020
Picture
​I took care of the grilling for our dinner kabobs and I was amazed at how well they turned out. The kids were super impressed that I could grill as good as Mike.

COOL SUNSET
AUGUST 24, 2020
Picture
Picture
​With all the fires that we have been having in and around Colorado, we do get some pretty awesome looking sunsets.

ABBY TRIES OUT FOR PPA
AUGUST 25, 2020
Picture
Abby tried out for PPA swim club after being unhappy with swimming with Rapids. She was so excited to be placed in Group 3 with some of her other friends. 

PICKING NASTY WEEDS
AUGUST 28, 2020
Picture
I hate picking weeds and all summer I stayed on top of it so it wouldn't get that bad. I took a 2-week break from weeding and then I spent over 3 hours picking some of the most stubborn weeds. It was pretty awful. 

ABBY AND MADELINE
AUGUST 30, 2020
Picture
​Abby is such a good sister to Madeline. Madeline frequently goes into Abby’s room to find little treasures and although Abby doesn’t like Madeline going through her stuff, she still manages to be kind to her.

ABBY’S MRI
AUGUST 30, 2020
Picture
Picture
After Abby failed her growth hormone test, the next step was getting an MRI done to make sure her pituitary was working correctly.  She was a bit nervous, but the techs were so good about making her feel calm and safe.

DOUBLE RAINBOW
AUGUST 31, 2020
Picture
Picture
On our walk we saw a double rainbow in the sky. It was only brief that we saw the double rainbow. By the time we made it halfway down the block, the second one had disappeared.
