 Last week online learning! I am behind still because trying to be a teacher for everyone is exhausting.

Monday was labor day so everyone had the day off!  We got out to a water park, the last weekend most water parks are open.

We had a blast!  It is kind of crazy that the beginning of the summer all my kiddos were in life jackets, now Hazen is the only one.  They have become little fish.  Stanley is insanely brave and wild!  Just going and flipping of the diving board, McKay and Clifton tip toe out and jump off slowly.  He is such different child than they are.

The rest of the week we slowly made it through school.
We enjoy PE the most at this house.  I try to join each of them when its PE time.

Keeping Hazen occupied.  The cats seems to be who he plays with when he can't play with his siblings.  I am not sure how the cats feel about it ;)

After school we need to get out and wiggle.  Body paint and water fun is always a big hit.
Stanley was making me laugh just laying there letting the water all on him.  School is rough!
We got a nice cool rainy day and we had to get outside to play.
Alex thought it would be a good time to test his new toy out too.  Hazen thinks its fun.

This week Stanley and I got to do a walk through his school.  Since he is brand new and I cannot walk him into school on the first day of in person they let us come for a little tour.
The excitement was through the roof.  We are both very excited!  Can't wait till Monday!

We got to feed the missionaries!  It's been a long time since we have been able to help or serve.
It was so nice having the Sisters in our home.

Clifton's soccer started this week too and he is thrilled.  We are on the same team as last season and we are thrilled. good people, great coaches, and fun team.

Saturday we went putt putt golfing and we were the only ones there so we got to take our masks off!
Stanley got a hole in one!
Then we cooled off in our pool and found out our neighborhood pool was extended to stay open till the end of October!

Sunday we got to go to church and this time the whole ward not in groups.  And the bishop encouraged we bring kids with us so they can relearn how to be reverent.
Hazen's Sunday selfie ;)
Our neighbor friends joined us!

Then we came home and got some old costumes out and decorate for fall.

We cuddled and enjoyed the Seahawks game.

And had to make some yummy pumpkin muffins.
It was our wards fast and testimony meeting and we now have a new tradition of eating whatever we want for dinner.  And we kind of love this new tradition especially me!


I was pleasantly surprised when I caught Stanley singing at the top of his lungs to this sweet song.  I love that he learned it on his own and that he liked it.  I love the song too!  Perfect for today.

 I have gotten behind again.  Online school is exhausting for everyone.  I have to stay close by to be to them to help and keep Stanley on track and then try to keep Hazen out of their rooms.  Clifton and McKay did really well at online school and stayed on top of their schedule and assignments really well.  Stanley tried his hardest but struggled.  He needed me to stay there to keep him on track and not getting into trouble and to complete his work.  But he honestly was trying, just such a hard way to start school!




Hazen is even exhausted trying to help everyone do school.  He passed out on Stanleys floor while I was helping Stanley do his math.
Hazen joined everyones school at some point this week.
Stanley's fun science project.  He has a great teacher and perfect for him.

I tried to keep Hazen occupied and happy while the kids did school.

We needed to get outside and moving after we finish school for the day.
Playing with friends, body paint and then rinsing off in the sprinkler.

Saturday we went exploring at Fort Worth Aviator Museum.
Hazen is obsessed with airplanes or "psssshhh" as he calls them.  He was in heaven, we all had a blast.


Sunday bakeday we had a donut bakeoff competition.
Not to brag but I won.  Clifton was the judge this time.

Then we stayed up late to cheer on the Sounders!
