Vaccines, Ducks, and a Movie

The boys got their second dose of their covid vaccines a couple weeks ago. They are now fully vaccinated.

Jack and I saw some a duck and her cute little ducklings crossing the road after Dungeons and Dragons. Jackson also went that day to a band practice. A man in our ward has a musical group and invited Jackson to come play keyboard for them. Jackson and his friend Logan just do chords while the two older men play the melody. He had a lot of fun! 

We went to the Reno's house to watch Luca outside. It was so much fun!

Baseball Ends

Coleman's games were at Covington Field one Saturday because of graduation at Kentwood.

It was nice to get a good picture of him without the fence in the way.

The assistant coach brought water balloons for the kids to hit during the last practice. Coleman loved it!

Then they had a water fight with the left over balloons.

His last game was payed in almost 100 degree weather! Washington was having the highest heat wave ever. It was so hot and the kids were dragging a bit. 

Coleman's team started with 6 players, then one decided it was too hot to play and quit. So then they were just playing with 5. His coach and a coach from the other team played outfield for them.

Harry Potter Party

Coleman had a Harry Potter friend party this year.
Kenzie sorted them into their houses and then gave them each a wand.

Jordan taught Charms class. He taught them a few spells.

In transfiguration they transfigured legos into something new. The kids that came are : Camryn, Holly, Chase, Xander, T-rex, Coleman, Levin, and Ben

For divination he tried to predict what each present was.

We had snack in the Great Hall.

Professor Snape taught them how to make a potion.

Kenzie's is fizzing just like it should.

Jackson told them pixies had escaped in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. They had to find and capture them all!

Lastly, the kids had quidditch practice. They dodged bludgers and practiced catching the snitch.

Coleman got a new slow motion race game. It was pretty funny. He and Ben had a lot of fun trying it out!

Father's Day and Coleman's Family Party

We gave Doug is presents before church. We are so glad he's ours! We love him so much!

Kenzie had a whole box of stuff for him: a candy lei, butterfingers she saved from piano lessons, some things she made out of clay, and a card.

We also got him some new basketball shirts.

And a snorkel for Hawaii.

Jordan's card

Jack made this card, copying the card Coleman made.

Coleman's card

The other side of Coleman's card.

Kenzie and Nati facetimed.

Ashlee was getting ready for Sam's graduation party and hung up pictures around the kitchen. We saw this one, and Kenzie wanted to try to recreate it...

She was disappointed she couldn't get her legs just right. But she did good. Sam later told us she was actually leaning against the couch in her pictures :)

There was a boat parade in the lake.

Coleman ready to open his presents.

He's always wanted one of these!

Lots of great treasures!

My dad ready to open his presents!

Happy Birthday!

Cam's Baptism

Cam was baptized yesterday! It was great to be at her baptism!

Grandpa Clay baptized her.

Afterwards we went to the Crabtrees for a delicious brunch.

I had them take some family pictures for us since we were all dressed up.



More Birthday Fun

2 hands old!

Jordan's present came a day late, but Coleman was just as excited to get it!

And the Kenyons' present came that day too. He loves the Harry Potter trivia!

Tennis Lessons

Jack and Jordan are doing tennis lessons with Coach Steve again this month. They're having a lot of fun!
Jordan is in the blue. Jack serving on the other side of the net. He's hard to see.
