The boys had their last day of school
Nixon ad his best friend both got medals for tying in the most laps in their Panther Prowl (a timed race)
Nixon is done with elementary school. He got his classmates to sign his shirt
Our raspberry plants are looking thicc this year
Kim caught Lyza and I laying around in the hammocks
Lyza has been trying to get contact lenses in her eye. It is pretty tough for her.
We went out for dinner as a family to celebrate the end of the school year and to celebrate doing really well on our family scripture reading
We had a few minute to hang out before we could be seated (inside)
We had lots of fun and a great meal
This is where I found Henry one morning, happily reading a book
One evening when Kim had a meeting I took the kids to a local park to explore
Yes, that is Nixon in the tree
Lyza doing her thing
I like this one
The kids found a couple of rabbits and had to chase them
Nixon got to mess around with this scooter at his friend's house
Summer library activity
To celebrate the end of school the kids had friends over for an outdoor movie. While we waited for the sun to go down some of them played on the trampoline.
And there was some basketball
Then it was time for the movie
Henry was actually enjoying himself
The next day our neighbor offered to pull out our dead Japanese Maple with the winch on his truck
Henry was invited to a beach birthday party
Mason also went
Nixon and I worked to remove grass from the side of our house where it never grows very well
He worked so hard I got him a milkshake and burger after
That evening Kim took me out for dinner for some BBQ
I woke up on Father's Day to see the kids all quietly watching a movie together
Kim prepared a delicious breakfast
I got lots of hugs from the kids
After church we got some photos together
Then I was showered with gifts
My new Spyder(-Man) jacket
Kim and the kids kept the tradition alive and made me a really cool card
While we were on a walk Lyza found a ginormous butterfly
I got to grill up some delicious rib eyes for dinner
Dinner was delicious
It may have taken Mason three or four tries to get this Lego car right but he finally did it
I dropped Kim and Nixon off at the river one morning and they paddled back to our beach park
Nixon needed a dip to cool off
The kids enjoying the sun at lunch time
Look how strong this boy is getting
An evening walk to the dock with the kids
Mason and Henry have been doing a lot of reading
Nixon bought himself a guitar and is very happy with it
The kids all got to go to Krispy Kreme and get donuts for every A they got in school
Kim has been hard at work prepainting our baseboards
Last Saturday I tore the carpet out of Nixon's room and put in the LVP flooring we used for the rest of the house
Even though it is a small room it was a big project to do it all in a day (including removing all the furniture and then getting it all back in). I even got his baseboards installed.
I got this picture of Mason singing at choir practice last week
This is an epic fort the boys made
Nixon and Mason were also really into Lego last Sunday
That's it for now. Have a great week!
