Richmond Visitors

This has been our busiest (and best) summer as a family. We've had quite a few visitors and we've made quite a few trips!

This weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Porter came.  It was a lot of fun.  Cedrik asked probably 1,000 question to grandma. Freddie was attached to her too and Eloise kept her eye on Grandpa.

We ate out. Shopped at Trader Joe's. We bowled (Carla's first time). Went to the quilt shop for more than an hour, went to a park and of course, Goody's. Jordan and Steve raced the cars and Jordan is still happy with the Passat...but not happy with the huge crack the windshield got this week.

They came to sacrament today and Jordan played beautifully.  There is an elderly lady who comes in first most weeks with her husband and this week she said to her husband as she walked in-and loud enough for Jordan to hear up at the organ, "Oh good! I love hearing him play the organ." He loves it and it shows. :)

Car Washing

While waiting for Grandma and Grandpa Porter, Jordan washed the car and I had promised the boys they could wash theirs. Their friends Addison from across the street came over (as usual) and helped them. They love her.

Sandy Point

We went up to Lucky Peak to swim for the afternoon. The boys requested cheese sandwiches and picked out cheetos at trader joes, along with fruit.

My friend Cara has three kids too, Kannon, Taegan, and Ellie-all about the same age as mine. Taegan is in Cedrik's primary class. She brought Gatorade and cookies, which was the most exciting thing for the boys. :)

I was the only one who turned red and Eloise ate giant mouthfuls of sand, pebbles and rocks, literally the whole time we were there. She is sleeping it off today.

The boys passed out on the way home for a few minutes and we finished the day watching a tinkerbell movie about pirates while Jordan taught piano-we were so worn out. Today Cedrik is pretending to be a fairy and Freddie is the Captain.
