My dad is the baby in the picture — with two of his sisters and his dad.
My dad isn’t doing too hot…he is really sick - and has a psycho appendage who is oblivious to life and isn’t taking very good care of my dad, so I went up to visit him on behalf of the family and took over. As we had expected..he is doing horribly, so the kids all went into high gear to get him back to himself. I spent four days in Utah, and meanwhile the kids were with Micah and Nonnie. I HATE leaving the kids, but according to the adults…they were awesome!
The first day I left, Scout and Navy hosted a backyard party for Dash and Pippi. My mom said they were so cute with them, and really took charge. Apparently, they had all sorts of crafts going on, and kept the kids entertained for hours. How cute!
BUT…..this is the day that poor Navy did a science experiment of putting soap into the microwave to turn it into foam. She put in the wrong soap, so instead of turning into foam, the soap turned into hot lava…and came pouring out onto Navy’s foot. She got third degree burns on her foot! But how smart was Navy…who immediately ran straight to the pool, and stopped the burning as she soaked her foot. My mom said her screams were like screams she has never heard before! But good old tough Navy got bandaged up, and apparently…has not made even one peep about it since it happened.
That’s saying a lot…because I have had the teeniest tiniest burns that kill for days!
Navy is literally the toughest girl I know — and the best part — she is allergic to complaining!
Another day, micah took the kids to fish. they didn’t have great fishing success, but he said they all had a blast — end even jumped off the pier after.
(not Pippi)
Notice Navy’s sock covering her bandage.

As a mom, it is always a battle to get your kids to be awesome. But then it is moments/days like these when you are MIA. And those are really the times to see who your kids really are. And based on what I have seen for the past few days — my kids are awesome.
