Lydia's got the lawn!

Hi Landon and Mason!  

Well we are back in Utah.  And we are one week away from school starting here.  The weather has calmed down here and it's not as hot anymore but rather mostly in the 80's so it's doable.  I know 80's is still hot for where both of you are at now but for us, it's a relief. 

Here are some pictures of our final few days in Washington.  Dad was really busy at work while we were there.  Poor Dad doesn't get much of a vacation when we go to WA.  One night he stayed up till 4am working on a deadline.  He still managed to drive us all home for 14 hours a day later.  

 One day, the McInellys, Hatch's and the Tews came and hanged out at the lake with us.  Caleb even came over after he got off work.

The kids swam and swam.  Jacob lived in the lake the whole time we were there.  So much that when we got home he broke out in a bad rash.  After researching what it was, I'm pretty sure he got swimmers itch.  Unfortunately he doesn't like to shower as much as he should so now he learned his lesson.   (Quinn swam with the construction cone)

 Gracie loved anything that had to do with a boat.  She would constantly ask..."Row, row row your boat?"  Grandpa drove her around the lake several times.  Sometimes it put her right to sleep. 

 Lydia with the girls.  Alyssa and Linsey were at EFY in Provo, so they weren't at the lake.  Instead we picked them up on Saturday and they spent the day with Lydia at our house in UT.  

 In the picture below, is Sienna Tew, Izabel, Addie, Natalie, Lydia and Emma McInelly.  

We came home to long grass.  Lydia learned to mow the lawn a few weeks ago.  Dad mows the front, and wipes and blows and Lydia mows the back.  She does a good job.  She is doing well at stepping up to more responsibility since you guys have been gone.  

Trapnall Orthodontist had a costumer appreciation night at Seven Peaks.  When it was dark they put on a fireworks show.  Grace had fun.  She saw another little girl doing cartwheels so she ran out to the grass and tried to do a summer sault.  We had a good chuckle watching her. 

Here are just some cute pictures before church on Sunday.  I pulled her hair back and she said she looked beautiful in her dress. 

Her is her after church, running around.  She said that in nursery they looked for Dinosaur Eggs outside with Sunshine (Schellenburg)

 I'm going to try and send you a video of her saying a prayer.  Let me know if it doesn't work.  

Love you both!
