Pool Party!

Hello all!  Summer has come upon us!  This past week it's been up in the 90's and I even heard it got over 100 one day, so it looks like summer finally came...  Fortunately we were ready to beat the heat with our pool!  We also got a little pop-up shade tent at Costco so we could keep Winry safe from the sun while out in the back yard, and Brooke really liked it too!


Here we are getting all set up for our pool party!  I'm glad we got this little pool.  I think we used it three times this past week, and Brooke has finally even started to use the slide!


A recurring story in our house is everyone climbing into mom and dad's bed after they wake up in the morning (morning being any time from midnight on).  This is typically accommodated by dad having to get up.  One morning this past week Brooke was holding Winry's hand and singing to her!  Another morning I was up there with Brooke after I got out of the shower and Brooke started singing Book of Mormon Stories to me!  She was doing all the actions before I took the video... sorry you didn't get to see them all...

Also this past week while having dinner Brooke's fork got stuck!... in her elbow...?  I'm not really sure where this came from, but it gave us all a good laugh!


Monica had had enough this past week and decided it was time to chop off her hair!  She knew she was going to take a lot off, so she asked me to get a before picture for her, and here it is!


... oh wait... wrong one... here it is!


And here is her after picture... er... she actually just asked me to take an after picture as I was writing this post... but you can still see what her hair looked like yesterday!  AND, I already needed to use a picture of us making mochi so I could talk about that!


Yup, we made MOCHI!  Mochi, I believe, is actually the rice dough stuff on the outside of the ice cream, but these ice cream balls are also called mochi.  We made these for date night and it was a lot of fun.  

In a comparable showing of skill I also made some cat ice cubes.  Pretty fancy, eh?


Well, I think that wraps up this week.  I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

  1. I love seeing these persistent posts. It’s inspiring. We are not big journalists but feel compelled to keep a record of some sort.
