Around the House

Kenzie and I cleaned Jackson's room. We rearranged and organized everything. I forgot to take a before picture, but it was messy! I offered to do it because I wanted to be able to rearrange the furniture and clean it out really well. It looks so much better :) I found such small clothes in his dresser. I think some were size 7/8. Too small for Coleman even.  

Kenzie took this from Jackson's room and spray painted it with Doug.

And is using it as a shoe rack.

Jordan's been sleeping on the floor on a mattress for a couple months. Doug and I took him to Ikea on Thursday and he got a bed and a night stand. He put the night stand together on his own.

And put the bed together with Doug. He got a full size bed and is using the cushion that was on our futon in the basement. He loves it!

Doug decided to try working in the basement. So far he likes it. Our room is so empty looking without all this in it. After him being in our room for a year and a half it's weird having him not in there. It almost feels like he's back in the office because I don't see him as much:)

Lake Meridian

We met some friends at Lake Meridian to play at the park and swim in the lake.

Jordan and Bryce worked hard to blow up the paddle board.

Coleman and his friends playing in the sand.

Jackson, Jordan, and Bryce took the kayak and paddleboard out. Kenzie went out with Jordan and Bryce later too.

Graham, Ben, and Coleman with their creation.

Pool Time!

We spent a few warm days swimming at my parents' pool!

 

Pictures from Kenzie

 

Photo Dump From August

Kenzie and I went to see her friend Holly in a play. When we got there we saw two friends from dance there too. They are the girls on both sides of Holly.

Coleman and I went to a primary activity at the temple. It was cool because he actually got to go in the temple in the place where kids wait when they've come to be sealed to their families.

Kenzie got some shoes from the thrift store and sent a picture of them to Nati:)

Doug and the kids made a swing.

Kenzie and I were both so excited when the library opened up again so we could actually go inside!

Kenzie's the secretary for the young women. She was asked to make a schedule of the upcoming activities so she set up a work station, complete with a secretary sign and mug.

Jordan went with my mom to a Mariners' game.

Coleman reading Dragon Masters.

Kenzie found her Halloween costume  (my old cheer costume :))

Kenzie made a cute picture for the calendar contest for Molen Orthodontics. I submitted it late though because I didn't see when the deadline was until a couple days after it passed.

Learning to Drive

Jackson started drivers ed in August (he actually missed the first class because we were flying home from Hawaii) He has his permit and has been driving us around.

 

Wild Waves

We went to Wild Waves several times before it closed at the end of summer. It was so fun to be back!

We went with a bunch of friends. All the kids here were our group. We got the Ramsays in with our buddy passes and the Wilsons brought the Raban's with theirs.

We got reimbursed for the parking pass we bought  so we were able to get lunch/snacks at the park one day.

We went with the Winters and Cam another day.

And the Winters, Johnsons, and Quigleys. The Adams were there as well that day, but they were off doing rides at this point.

Jack and Jordan missed the group shot above because they had been with the Adams so I made them take one on our way out.
