July 24th, 2018

Aub and I headed over to Nimitz for registration today.  My baby is starting Middle School...I'm in shock.  It was especially weird not going to Reagan Elementary for registration.  I have been there every summer for the past 13 years registering our crew.  After picking up the boys from workout, we (minus Bryn) headed out to work with Brian.  Aubrey and I weeded for about an hour and a half and then I was ready for lunch.  The boys worked for 4-5 hours...they are great.

We stopped by the Strombergs after weeding and snagged
Callie for the afternoon.  They made yummy chocolate
chip cookies and watched a movie.

And Morgan is BACK!  Brinley is whole again!

Photo shoot with Buttercup

We had an eye doctor appointment for Parker.
He needs new glasses and is hoping to find
a brand of contacts that he can comfortably wear.

Notice the missing ear piece on his glasses...Parker
has been sporting this cool look for a few days.
He's also been adding a huge glob of hot glue
and gluing the piece back on--it's attractive!

Pay day for the kiddos.  Tanner said "Thank you for not giving
me hundreds, I have too many of those."  I don't think many thirteen
year olds have that problem.  *Side note: One day the boys will
outgrow this lovely stage of not cooperating with pictures.  Ugh.  The turkeys.

 Parker, Aubrey and I went to the house to help move some
heavy flower pots and Aub decided to go for a swim fully
clothed...so Gram and I visited outback and watched her.

About thirty minutes later the boys  decided to invite the
Terry's to swim and Bryn came over to join Gram and I on the deck. 

Harper and Parker, who both have man bodies and are almost
sixteen, paired up against their little brothers.  (insert eye roll)
Eventually they switched the teams and made them a much
more even. (10th and 8th grader vs 10th and 8th grader)

It was almost 10 when we left.  Night swims are the best!
