Mikell asked me if I would watch her kids on Tuesday the 20th so she could go to the Temple. I happily agreed and then invited Brit and her kids over so the kids could all go swimming. Mikell dropped her kids off and i headed over to the pool with them with the intentions of meeting Brit there. When we arrived we saw that the pool was closed again, third time this summer, for a 24 hour cleaning. Which means someone pooped in the pool again! It is getting pretty annoying and put a big kink in our plans.
Avynlea was a really great improviser and suggested we turn on the hose in the backyard, which we did. It turned out to be so fun for the kids and I think they had just as good a time doing that then swimming. Avynlea was such a fun big cousin and played really well with all of the littles.
I had to leave to pick up Rylee from Volleyball practice and Brit needed to match some cupboards for her house so we left the big kids in charge and ran our errands. I was back pretty quick and Rylee was all for joining in on the fun. Brit brought pizza with her when she returned which enabled everyone to be able to stay a little big longer. I really enjoyed my time visiting with Mikell and Brit watching our kids enjoy the summer sun.
Kenedy had her second date that night with Tanner Pollock. She didn't get any pictures of their first date or their second but I was smart, or creepy, depends who you ask, and snuck a picture before they left. They were supposed to go to Jump Creek but at the last minute realized it was an hour away and that was too far for that Tuesday night date. They couldn't come up with any ideas so we talked them into going miniature golfing which Kenedy did not want to do but said surprisingly they had a lot of fun.
Last year I completed the quilt top for Kenedy's cheer shirt quilt but never got around to finishing it. It has been staring at me and making me feel bad every time I went into the craft nook but I was always too intimidated and unsure to do anything with it. Kenedy asked me about it the other day and I decided the time is now to get this done. She went with me and picked out a fabric for the back and then on Saturday morning I finished it. It looks so cute, Kenedy loves it and it wasn't hard at all. The mountain turned out to be a mole hill and I am quite happy with how it looks. Kenedy seems pretty happy also and posted about it on Instagram. When I was expressing doubt about my ability to do this quilt she was my biggest cheerleader and told me she knew I could do it and that I am better at sewing then I give myself credit for. She really helped boost my confidence about it and she was right, I was able to do it and do a good job, she is the best and I have loved having her home for her summer break and I love that I got this quilt done finally.
While I was working on the quilt Kefford had the kids helping him in the backyard with some yard work. We recently got curbing put in and Kefford needed to fix the rocks and grass around it. It looked much better once they were all done and many hands make light work.
On Sunday we had Stake Conference and after it was done the kids talked us into going out to the Farm for the afternoon. We weren't able to get a hold of Bob or Alison to see if it was OK but luckily they had more then enough food for lunch to feed us as well as Trevor and Whitney's families and were really happy to see us.
While we were hanging out visiting after lunch Kenedy took my phone and got a picture of herself and one of Garrett.
