Church | Dash | Monthly recap
May 2021 update–getting back to the Before Times
We haven’t been this busy in 14 months! It felt good.
Dog sitting and reading the WSJ 
Blake got super mad at us for not letting him sleepover at a friends. So, he pitched a tent and slept in the front yard. He wouldn’t go in the backyard because he was afraid of coyotes 
More Ultimate Frisbee. This time in the rain. 
I delivered Instacart to an assisted living facility and the woman tipped me in $2 bills. It was awesome. 
Backyard living 
Annual Erie fishing clinic. Blake and Max were pretty mad that Jane was the only one who caught a fish 
Happy Birthday Kari! 
Friday Night Pickleball 
Oh Happy Day! 
Gonzo tennis tournament in Longmont. Josh won all 4 of his matches! But due to some seeding issues, he didn’t get to play in the semi finals. 
This is the genuine smile of a kid who dug deep to pull out a win. He was feeling sluggish after lunch and was down a couple of games. He decided he could do better, stepped up and got it done! 
Our last Friday lunch. Celebrating surviving this very weird, very boring, yet stressful school year. 
Rusty and Grace got to go to a Nuggets playoff game. They had a blast. 
We have really enjoyed our walking Sunday School lessons. This is something I will definitely miss. 
For the final time–Bippity Boppity, Church is not Stoppity. At home church was a shining moment in the pandemic 
Rusty teaching Josh how to string a racket. Wearing his snorkle gear. Because he’s that excited about our upcoming Florida trip 
Dash licking EVERY LAST CRUMB 
Happy Graduation Brynn! Utah State is Lucky to get you! 
Cousins jumping on the tramp in the rain. They were soaked! 
Luke’s Birthday Pinata 
Happy Birthday Luke and Blake! 
Luke is the little brother Blake never had 
After eating Peppa Pig cake, we needed to finish the night with ice cream. Thanks Halle for letting us come right at closing. We know how much you love that. 
Deacon overnight backpacking trip 
Last day of Middle School for this Handsome kid! 
He was one of only 10 kids to get a special award for earning at 4.0 for every single quarter of his middle school career. Josh works really hard for his grades and this was a well deserved honor 
8th grade chic-fil-a breakfast 
Final Lap as Middle Schoolers 
Watch out EHS, here they come! They had a fun day playing Switch at school and then walking for ice cream at Sweets. 
We hosted a BBQ 
Last Day of Seminary. Heidi, Anne and Stephanie deserve a automatic ticket to heaven for teaching online most of the year. 
Mother’s Day 2021. I wanted to do something out of our Adventure Challenge Book. We scratched off a paper airplane contest. We each got to make 5 planes. Josh needed total concentration. 
Love these kids of mine! This was such a great day. 
Junior Prom! Kinda. Only Seniors were allowed to go to the “Real” Prom, but there were lots of parties, dinners, and dances that people planned. These two loved getting dressed up. 
We say this is their creepy horror move picture
Dash Meeting Emma’s Ducklings. He was NOT a fan. He whined and scratched and threw a fit the whole time they were here.
