summer!

My kids really got out of school almost 3 weeks ago...but I've become a horrible blogger (though a better Instagrammer...).

The last day of school was the awards assembly. Both kids racked up the awards (most notably, all A's all year long), but we were at the school almost 3 hours by the time both grades' assemblies were done.

That same day, Spencer and I decided we REALLY needed to go to the temple, so Danielle saved the day and watched Sadie and then the big kids after they got home. Kinda anti-climatic, but it was our one chance in the next few weeks that we could make it.

We got to the temple in time for the 5 pm session but the skies looked SCARY. The rain was sideways and crazy as we ran to the temple doors, and they were locked!! There were cars and we knew it was open...but suddenly we realized we were hearing tornado sirens. Eventually the temple workers saw us and let us in, and made us go down to the basement. After a few minutes they let our session go through, but we had flickering lights throughout, and I could tell it was still stormy. When the session was done they asked us to leave quickly, as they had shut down the temple after we had started. I was so grateful we made it in, especially considering the 3 1/2 hour drive we had made. Crazy weather. Made it home by 10:30 pm, and felt so grateful.

Tyler got sick pretty soon after school got out. We don't know what it was, but it wore him out and he had a dry cough. He had his baseball tournament and made it to the second round before they lost. It was fun to watch him this year.

On to the rest of our fun/busy summer!
