Kade at Damon's

Kade went to his friend's birthday party. He had a fun time playing at their pool at their country club! Some of these boys are on his soccer team and he's become good friends with them.

A few weeks later, Damon invited Kade to go to his cabin in Woodland. Kade got spoiled all weekend!

Tag's Surgery: Button and Chain

Tag's tooth was growing sideways. He had oral surgery and a bracket was placed on the tooth and a chain attached. The chain was then attached to a bracket on a different tooth and a rubber band is helping pull the tooth in the correct location and direction.

He handled it like a champ! He was happy that they put him asleep before putting in the IV. He woke up happy and quiet. No silly video to laugh at. I'm glad he was calm and a good patient. His recovery was uncomfortable for about 4 days and then it got better. He didn't need pain medicine after that.

James XC: Timpanogos Invitational

James raced in the Timpanogos Invitational. In the past years they've raced in the after school race. This year he raced in the morning race. That made it so nice for holiday weekend! He didn't do as well this race. His time was 16:04. He was 15th so it was still really good but he wasn't as happy with his race. I tried to point out all of the good things. He was still 2nd on his team, he was fast than most of the other racers there, and he is still very fast even if it wasn't the time he wanted.

James's Team: Akatsuki

James decided he didn't want to play club soccer and instead form a AA team and just have a chill season. So he formed a team. Marshall agreed to be the coach or responsible adult. They named their team Akatsuki and designed their jerseys. They had their first game and won! 

It is going to be a fun season!

Rose First Day of School and Lab

My first day of school was also my first day of lab. I wanted my picture taken on the porch. Can you believe I've been in graduate school for 1 year!

I carpooled with Tressa and Jackie to lab. It was so nice going with them! It's going to be a great semester.

August Birthdays

We celebrated August Birthdays with my family. We had meatball subs. Mmmm! Dessert was ninja turtle cake. Double Mmmm! It was good eating! It was fun seeing everyone. It's always not enough time. I can't wait until we have early church and can have longer time with family on Sundays.

It is so crazy how grown up these three are!

Rose's Two Week Break: Pavers and Blankets and Queen of Hearts

I had two weeks off in between summer and fall semesters. I packed my weeks full of projects, cleaning, and errands. I started off with  extending the sidewalk to the street with pavers. I've always wanted the sidewalk to extend. It is a lot of money for a tiny piece of cement. Pavers were in the budget.

Next I finished everyone's high school blankets. When Joanns went out of business I bought fabric for everyone. They still have to wait until they are in 9th grade. The blankets are finished and ready for them.

After that I made a Queen of Hearts costume for Sienna. She went to a mystery party for her friend's birthday party. Ava used to live by us and now lives about ten minutes in north Lehi. Sienna enjoys playing with her still and eventually they will go to middle school together. Sienna said the party was fun but also tricky because she only knew Ava. The rest of the girls are in Ava's class or neighborhood. Sienna felt left out but tried to make the most of it.

I deep cleaned my house including the fridge, art room, lockers, and my room. It was a very exhausting but productive two weeks!

James XC: UIAAA Invitational

Since it is James's senior year, each race gets it's own post. He is one speedy guy! His first race was in Spanish Fork. UIAAA Invitational is the name of the race. It was held at the Spanish Fork Complex. We had soccer games so Grandpa and Grandma Lowry went to the race. Unfortunately they didn't get any pictures. James had a great race! James took 8th place in the boys varsity 5k. The top ten got a medal so he got a medal! His time was 15:49.
