We went out to dinner for Peter and Lamoni's birthday. Peter ordered a steak! His favorite meal is steak, mashed potatoes and asparagus.
Peter opening presents.
Liam's school book that's he's very consistent working in. He won't color unless it's an assignment. Then he'll happily do it.
Courtney and her kids came to visit! We took her to Sawmill Market, one of our favorite places.
Exhausted kids after a hike.
We hiked with Courtney's family to some goblin formations and stopped at a stream that has an awesome swing that goes over it. We discovered it from our homeschool group.
Liam was more adventurous than he's been! I love seeing him blossom and try new things.

It was literally impossible to get a picture with my kids all looking. Lamoni took about 50 shots, and they were all like this!
The boys all drawing together!! I discovered I can do a dot to dot and Liam will connect the dots and then color it.
New Mexico had the Northern Lights! We bundled up late one night and drove North. We saw just a tiny bit of hue (see above) but it was a memorable adventure.
Family arts night for homeschool group. All the boys performed on their instruments and sang Barbara Ann with Lamoni on guitar.
If Liam performs then we get to go to the dollar store and the boys can all pick something out. It's worked a couple of times!
Flower arranging class with the homeschool moms.
One last hurrah with Michelle before she moves.
Another big milestone for Liam of playing in a splash pad. Before he would just cling to me and fuss.
When Mel and Melinda visit we usually go to Top Golf with them and Jacob/Kathryn.
Look at this adorable swim suit!
Lamoni had the youth over for a meeting one night. It was so special and fun.
