Try this again....

So, we dropped off the face of the Earth for a while.  Summer got busy and fun and who has time to sit down and type all this out? :)  So, I will try to document life again here, for the sake of remembering good times and our little family.
Week of August 12-19:

 So, of course this picture is not from this week, but it does document what has been consuming many of our thoughts and prayers this week.  The Coal Hollow Fire!  Our poor canyon.  Fortunately, those amazing firefighters are tough and brave and the fire is now close to 44% contained!  Thank you!

 It was Wacky Week for our family, so we tried to do some fun things.  This was at the Museum of Natural Curiosity.  We were supposed to make some sort of paper tube structure to hold up all these books.  Peter and I successfully did it.

 While C, P and R were in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple, H, W and I went to explore a little park.  We found a black bunny and got very excited.

 Rob's phone takes much better pictures than mine. :)

 Since we could not be at the lake (so sad!) we stopped off at this little pond.  The kids enjoyed that very much!

Haley's 8 week countdown to baptism started yesterday!  I  made this shirt for her and we played baptism bingo, I think they all enjoyed it.

Not pictured but needs to be remembered.  We had our Wacky Wonky Dinner, super fun and lots of work.  My favorite mystery food names were: tiny globes of wonder (grapes), farm on a playground (chicken, bacon slider sandwiches) and sweet mud (chocolate milk). The kids found a birds nest in our tree and have enjoyed climbing up there to see the birds.  The Easter in August Wacky Week day was super fun with the egg hunt.  Finally, the miracle of the week but also the most scary.  We were at Rob's work party and walking along the perimeter of a golf course.  Out of no where, Peter got hit on the right side of his head (temple area) with a golf ball!  He was flattened to the ground immediately, crying in pain and an enormous goose egg had formed.  Prayers began and we got ice on his head.  By the time we got home the goose egg had gone down but we were still really worried that some internal damage could have been done.  Constant prayers, icing it and meds for him...he seems to be ok.  He has just suffered a black eye and a constant headache, but nothing worse.  So blessed and never want to experience that again.  Thankfully he has a hard head.
