The girls returned from their epic trip to Forks to find that the boyz had thoroughly cleaned the house, and I had a flank steak all marinated and ready to throw on the grill! I also made a special batch of Birthday Brownies for Kaylee, complete with twelve non-tricky candles!
She blew them all out in one breath (ahh, youth!)
Also while Andy, Tyler and I were enjoying our Boys Weekend In, Tyler and I put together the new Super Teeter-Totter that Cindy had ordered from Costco. And let me tell you, this is DEFINITELY a SUPER Teeter-Totter!! Andy and Tyler spent most of the weekend playing on it, and when Kaylee got home, she definitely got her fair share of Totter Time in too!
On Wednesday, there was another cool youth activity at church. Ellysa had a flute sectional that night, so only Andy and Kaylee went and took part in a photo-scavenger hunt!
One of the things they had to do was make a human pyramid... Andy did a good job supporting the rest of his team, as you can see!
Another thing they had to do, apparently, was to run all crazy-like through a grocery store in a piggyback formation. And maybe shake hands with a cashier. Or something.
While still at the store, they were challenged to help someone out with their groceries.
While helping, Andy just may have found a girlfriend!
Kaylee's group did lots of neat things too, and they have pictures to prove it. But the pictures are trapped on an antique camera that wouldn't talk to the laptop that was set up to display everyone's exploits... And the camera's owner (commenter Chris, aka Anonymous) hasn't liberated the pics yet... Ahem.... Otherwise they would totally be here too!
Wednesday night's moon was really gorgeous, so Kaylee grabbed the camera and snapped this very impressive picture:
Thursday, while Kaylee was at soccer practice, her new classmates in the Young Women's program at church snuck into her room and gave her a "Heart Attack!"
It has been quite a week! We're still getting used to the schedule of seminary, school, swim team, soccer practice, work, work, work, youth activities, work, and when we get really lucky, some family down-time...
That's so cool. BTW I was able to blow out all 30 of my candles in one breath this year. I was quite proud of myself.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post. I love to see them getting so involved in all those activities.
