Last Sunday: Kylie combed the little girls' hair fancy. It looked so cute in person.
I looked up and saw Spencer sweetly reading to his youngest sister who he calls, "Baby" which I also love. He's so good to her.
Random weight lifting.
Monday: Helping Tilly with her workbook. She's a natural when it comes to writing letters and numbers. She has no problem tracing and writing them.
Every time she wrote one she'd put her hand on her cheek, which is so cute.
A neighbor gave Alexis this bedding so I took a picture to thank/show her we love it.
Wednesday: Movie party with all 10 kids watching Onward. I left in the middle and donated plasma because I'm not a big movie fan (just short movies like 20 minute episodes) but they had a great time.
I took this to display a meteorology course I wrote and am selling on teacherspayteachers.
Spencer teaching Kaitlyn how to do a back tuck.
Here he's having her practice jumping and bringing her knees up.
I love these blossoms. They remind me of the first spring we moved in because Madalyn took a lot of really good pictures for her photography class.
Friday: Playing dragons on the tramp.
Andy wasn't getting along with the other kids so I played with him for a bit and had a lot of fun. We played upwords and he did a lot of pages from a church activity book. I love having one-on-one time with my kids.
Samuel was so funny sitting at the table eating green beans as if it were popcorn while everyone else had a real dinner.
When Andy saw me taking pictures of Sam, he wanted to eat green beans and get photographed too. :)
Movie party--we watched the Brady Bunch--and took this to show the 3 older girls who were at their aunt's house.
Saturday: I took the 3 middle kids hiking and we had a great time.
Thomas tried taking a pano for me of the sky. There was a contrail from one mountain to another all across the whole sky. It was amazing. You can't tell from the pictures, but oh well.
It started between two mountains and stretched over the whole sky and ended on another mountain peak.
First lookout we came to.
Kait and Kenna brought their babies and everyone was a good hiker.
Makenna found a cozy resting spot between two trees.
I love looking up at the blue sky in the middle of the forest.
We found several piles of moose hair as well as lots of scat and footprints. We prayed to see a moose but never did.
We stopped a lot to look at different tracks and budding bushes and interesting pine cones or acorns. It was a great hike.
Eating lunch. I sent this to Spencer who was babysitting the 3 little kids. The 3 older girls were at their aunt's for the weekend.
Different kinds of moss. We took this so we could go home and learn about it.
We ran all the way down the trail back to the van. Thomas and Kaitlyn took off ahead and Makenna and I pretty much ran together, stopping to look at interesting things.
And stopping to play on fallen logs. :)
I loved this comfy patch of crushed cones from a tree I can't identify. It's super soft and I could have made a bed there. I love hiking and being out in nature. It fills me up so much. It was even better that I got to share it with 3 easy kiddos.
Talea found Madalyn's ear muffs and modeled them for the camera.
