A Busy Week

It seems like all of our weeks are busy lately, but here's a little catch up post of this week.  Since Shawn's new calling in the Taylorsville YSA (young single adult) bishopric, most of our Monday nights involve going to Family Home Evening with the YSA ward.  This week though, Amelia was the only one who was able to go, so she and Shawn joined them on their hike to Ensign Peak.


She's a little younger than the rest of the group, but she had fun.
I guess even when you're over 18, you can't help but have a silly face photo.
We've been having fun with my "Rob" pillow.
These pictures just make us laugh.  Who knew this would end up being such a fantastic bithday gift?
And so versatile, too.  He can go from football player to swimmer in a matter of seconds.

Either Megan asked Samantha to help her put in curlers, or Samantha asked Megan to let her try an experiment in her hair.  Either way, this is what I found Sunday morning when Megan came upstairs.
The straws definitely curled her hair.
A lot.  Normally her hair is almost to her waist.
The curls lasted for days - just  slowly loosening and lengthening as time went on.  It would be a great hairdo if she were dressing as Merida from Brave.
Peter and I are back to enjoying our morning walks when we walk the girls to school.  And as always, he is sure to stop and smell the flowers and explore all the things we see.
And possibly against our better judgement, we signed Peter up for soccer.  We have really enjoyed our break from the game for the past few years, but thought we should give it a try.  We'll see how it goes since Peter hasn't watched any of his siblings play the game.  He's spent a lot of time at swim meets and water polo games, but soccer is new to him.
This was his first practice.  He gave it a good try for a while, 
but then decided to sit down for a little break and watch the other kids play.

We are still definitely trying to adjust to being back in school.  Hopefully things will settle down a bit?
