Summer 2018 Texas

LIBRARY FUN

Audrey was excited to see the Paw Patrol dogs at the library party.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Jared got lots of love on Father's Day from all his cute kids.

WINNING CAR

Our ward had a fundraiser dinner for the YM and YW and they had a pinewood derby (open to all ages) for the entertainment.  This car that Jared and Nathan built ended up winning first place in the regular race (a car with CO2 rocket boosters ended up winning in the no rules race).

THE GOOD SAMARITAN

The kids enjoyed acting out the story of the Good Samaritan for FHE.  Nathan was a cool cowboy bandit and Audrey was the good Samaritan (she used the stethoscope to check for Abby's heartbeat).

JULY 4TH

The kids made their favorite fruit flag to have with our pancake breakfast and we enjoyed watching the fireworks at Baylor.

LAST TRIP TO THE WACO ZOO

FAMILY FUN

With mom being so busy packing, Audrey has found many new ways to get into trouble, including coloring on walls, the fireplace, and herself.  We finally threw away all the markers and have limited her to one pack of washable crayons.

With most of our stuff being packed up, Audrey has become quite creative with the items we still have out.  For example, she figured out how to turn this envelope into a crown by cutting the bottom portion of it off.  

GOOD-BYE TO PIANO TEACHERS

Abby said good-bye to her teacher Hillary Albrecht.  Hillary has gone above and beyond in working with Abby (we were paying for 45 minute lessons, but she usually spent an hour with her each week).  We are amazed at Abby's progress during the 9 months of lessons she had with Hillary.

We will also miss Linda Houlding, who has been a wonderful piano teacher to Maddy, Nathan, and Abby (for 2 years).  

MADDY'S LEGO CREATIONS

Maddy wanted me to take photos of some of her LEGO creations before we packed them all up to move.  I am impressed how she figured out how to make a giant cone to go on this ice cream truck.

LAST TRIP TO THE MAYBORN

GOOD-BYE DINNER

I had a nice good-bye dinner with several ladies from the ward.  I will definitely miss them!
