Waiting for Hammers

This morning we all got ready and headed out the door to Lowe's. There was so many kids at the workshop that we had to wait awhile to get a hammer. But the kids were super happy to be making a Mater toy truck. This one was more complicated than any other one. Mom thought it was funny that as she looked around at everyone, there were more adults hammering away than kids. Brayden was super good just hanging out in the cart watching. In the end the kids were more than happy with their new toys.








In the afternoon we took it easy and the kids enjoyed the nice weather outside while the adults relaxed and talked. Then while Dad was gone today for his marine pool function and the two little ones were sleeping Mom & Aunt Heather left with the other kids to go to see our summer movie, Despicable Me. Jeff was kind enough to stay home and sit with the two little ones sleeping.

When we arrived at the movie theater we found out that the movie schedule is different on Saturdays and only does the movie at 11:00. It was now almost 2:00. We had the saddest kids you have ever seen. Xander's entire body was sad & shruggling. So we had to think of something quick so we ran over to Outer Limits and took them miniature golfing. That seemed to work out great because they were so much happier. Golfing was fun and then they played a few games afterwards. Staci hit the jackpot and won over 100 tickets so the kids really got to pick out something bigger for their prizes this time. Until they figure out what is really happening we put all the tickets together and share; this may only last a few more years before they get smart and say, "Wait a minute..."


  
  

We had a BBQ for dinner and then it was quite a chore getting six kids into the bath tub. We ran out of hot water for the first time. Some of us adult were going to take a shower tonight but now we all have to wait until tomorrow morning. We knew we had to get started tonight since their was ten of us to get cleaned up before church at 9:00 am. How do bigger families do it?

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
