This photo was taken while our house was on fire, because my friends Brooke, Amber, and Becky are amazing. There aren't many people who you can show up on their doorstep with a crying child (Audrey) and say, "My house is on fire. I need to leave my kids with you." And they hug, play, pray, keep your kids up-to-date with texts, swim, feed them dinner, offer a sleepover, and most importantly provide peace of mind knowing your kids are loved like you would love them. Makes me tear up every time I think about it. Look at these smiling faces, would you think their house is on fire?
Also my amazing boss and friend, Patricia, sent us the most delicious D.W. Cookies so we could eat our fire feelings.
And a couple friends dropped off beautiful flowers, so at least the inside of our house was pretty. So many gestures, truly appreciated.
Waaaaaaah, we had to say goodbye to our wonderful Osmonds. So sad, but so grateful for these lifelong friendships. We can only hope they'll be back in a few years.
Last track practice of the season ends in ice-cream! It's been a fun one with this crew:
Tyler's GATE Night presentation. He did a great job explaining the projects he worked on throughout the year:
Baseball buds hangin' at big brothers games:
Rookie Dodgers! Adam is a great coach, and the team is really good - making plays and hitting the ball. Go Cole!
Tyler has had a couple fantastic games. He pitched a perfect inning the other day. Made great outs at second base and short stop, and hit a triple at his last game. His batting stance is so awesome now, too. He is a stud.
Lastly, Audrey's soccer team made it to their first tournament medal round and it was very exciting. They played their butts off battling for 4th place and won! Good job girls. They are such a hardworking, fun team.
