At the prospect of earning money by mowing the lawn, Dinah really wanted a turn. So here’s her first attempt at mowing the lawn.
Tiny little girl that she is she had some issues pushing it.

Peachy Float
As we were leaving Debby in Texas we decided to find an HEB store on our way to find a hotel for the night, so we could buy some of the watermelon soda to take home with us. Kyle bought a few packs of watermelon but also picked up a pack of some peach soda. I like it a lot, and I’m sad that he only got one. It’s especially good as a float! 😀
Worn Out
Our Girl Scout community was having a promotion to encourage troops to re-register early. For being re-registered early they were inviting us to come see the Minions movie for free. Other family members were allowed to come, but had to pay. Well since myself and three of the girls were covered by the community, that was half of the family getting in for free! So we decided to pay for the other half and go together. Adam was so excited to go see the movie that he didn’t nap in the van on the way into town, and he didn’t nap during the movie either, but he just couldn’t make it home. In fact all that excitement had him so worn out that he fell asleep with popcorn on his lips. 😛
Jeremy’s Attempt at Feeding Seth
Seth is getting better at eating food. It’s amazing what a difference a little bit of time will make. Jeremy on the other hand…..he seems to need more practice feeding babies. He wanted to feed Seth, but Seth tried to take the spoon away from him and baby food got all over the place. 😛
Albert Croaky
At the Albuquerque temple, Kyle pulled a HUGE moth bug out of the fountain. It looked dead and Chloe really thought it was cool, so she wanted to take it home. Somewhere between Albuquerque and Four Corners, Chloe started SCREAMING! We asked her what was wrong, but she didn’t answer and then Tyra and Chloe were both screaming. So we pulled over to find out what was wrong. Turns out that she screamed because the bug moved. So Kyle offered to just let it go in the bushes by the side of the road, but Chloe wanted to see it again. So Chloe and Lydia got out to look at it.
Chloe wouldn’t hear of leaving the bug, and now that she was aware that he could still move she still wanted to take him home. So we got back in the van and continued on our way.
Kyle had been referring to the bug as Croaky, because he was dead. Then he decided that we were going to call it Albert Croaky, because we found him in Albuquerque.
When we got home we put Albert Croaky in a pot of flowers that I had on the porch.
Chloe had to go out front to check on him every day, and most days she had to find him because he would get out of the flower pot. He did eventually end up dying. He never really did recover from being in the fountain.
