Eight Isn't Enough: July 29th

While we were in Utah, Laney attended a Book of Mormon sleep over at the Crockett's. They read the whole Book of Mormon in 24 hours. They only took a few short naps here and there.

Back to home life!

This beautiful picture was take for Timmy's enjoyment. It is full of lots of love for him!

One morning, we spent a few hours with our darling friends, the Bakers. Krista and I had fun talking while the girls played and danced.

Sara was happy to catch up with her friends too. Makaila came over!

Sara has some wonderful friends, and Makaila is one of the sweetest.

Gavin and Cadie came up for the week. It was fun to spend time playing and singing and talking with them. Their kids are growing so fast and get cuter all of the time!

Daphne, Susanna, Freia and Laney

Such beautiful cousins!

Freddy and Andrew made this awesome shade for the bikes. Sadly, shortly after this picture, a monsoon storm came through. It picked it up off of the rebar stakes and threw it over the fence into the street. It isn't broken beyond fixing,but beyond functionality. We are planning to fix it ASAP.

Our buddy, Ty Towle, surprised us with a short visit. He was down here from Utah for a wedding. We played a few rounds of Jungle Uno with him.

Friday,Josh Jordan, Josh Jensen, Miles Spencer and Ethan LaClaire came to hangout. This would be Ethan's last time before moving to California. Of course there was lots of jamming around the piano!

They sang some Broadway, Jason Mraz, One Direction, a bunch of others and of course, Shawn Mendes. He's a favorite with these guys.

Then it was off to the stake center for a blow dart battle! Freddy cut some pipes and bought a ton of darts. They even let the little girls join in the fun.

It was fearsome!

Josh Jensen and Miles won the first few rounds, but it may have been because they didn't engage in battle as often as the others. Laney was the unexpected super star. She was always around until the end each round.

Josh says, "Hi Tim!"

The girls both ended up with fat lips, but no tears. They had too much fun!

Saturday, Susanna made a bunch of cookies to share with neighbors. She was pretty proud of her yummy work!

Saturday night, we all attended A Night Of Music. My dad had arranged for a bunch of musicians to come and perform for three of the wards in the Glendale Stake. Gavin, Daniel, Laney and I were some of the performers. Laney and Daniel sang a duet from Seussical the Musical, Alone in the Universe. Gavin performed two numbers, Race You to the Top of the Morning from The Secret Garden, and Into the Fire, from The Scarlet Pimpernel. I sang Vanilla Ice Cream, from She Loves Me, and How Could I Ever Know, from The Secret Garden. It was a ton of fun! Thanks Daddy for making it possible and for being our biggest fan.
