The kids were pretty pumped when Alexa slept over … AND they all got sleep in an indoor ten.
Actually…an outdoor tent that was set up indoors.
Indoor Camping
Moving Accounts
In an attempt to get the kids better at depositing their money in the bank, we closed our accounts that are a few miles away.
Then we drove to one of our local stops — Trader Joe’s, and opened up new accounts in the bank next door.
My kids took all of their change, and counted it and packaged it.
The bank manager was so patient with all of us, it was awesome!
And right when my kids were about to lose it (an hour in), Connor Brown happened to walk in. He saw my kids on the edge, then said, “I want to take your kids to Jamba Juice to get them smoothies.” I obviously set the kids free, and spent the last 20 minutes at the bank in peace.
First Zits
I am sad to report, that we are entering the sad stage of zits.
Good thing I am prepared for this stage.
Navy’s first zit on top of her lip is long gone…and so were the few in her hairline.
After taking care of Navy’s face, I taught her the art of exfoliating in a really aggressive way.
Please let this stage go by quickly…and pretty painlessly!
Model Job
Scout was pretty excited to be asked to “model” for Angi’s social media ad. When I saw the pictures, I thought they turned out great! He added just enough extra hair, and Asian smarts to the photo!
Nate Returns
After two long years, Nate is finally back! My kids were so excited, that Scout was even playing basketball in the driveway when he got here, with the ball Nate gave him two years ago. We obviously had a cake, in honor of the celebration. And after cake, we sat and chatted with Nonnie for a few hours to get reacquainted!
Welcome home!

Update: Skylar isn’t into him anymore…so we haven’t seen Nate much since. Awkward!
Kites
When our friends, the Eks, said their moving away party was at the Salt Creek hill, we knew our new kites were going to finally be put to use.
Dash got his going with dad’s help.
Navy kept trying and trying on her own.
And Pippi nailed her fakey skills.
Finger Best Friending It Out
After a little scuffle, the boys had to “best friend it out”. Dash just about refused, so today…they “finger best friended it out”. By the end, they were cracking up at only having to use a finger…so again…my trick worked. Their scuffle was in the past, and their laughing was in the present.
Deaf Singing
Ka introduced a new game to us. We put headphones on, and have music at full blast.
Then as people sing along…it is funny to see them scramble for words — or the right tune.
My kids were pretty funny.
But Nonnie stole the show in being hilarious!
Sunshine Girl
After getting everything in order to go to church — including her makeup….
I introduce to you…
Bookshelf Naughty
After watching my other kids climb the bookshelf for years..look who has finally followed suit.
