Last Day of School

Summer Break is here! I thought I’d do a “day in the life”post, because every day is so full of good right now, I know I’m going to miss it all so much someday soon. 

We celebrated the last day of school hard. Corbin did not have any finals to attend so he slept in. Soren skipped school. The twins performed their talent show numbers for the whole school. Sloane had parties in class. I dropped kids off and went to the temple and then stopped by my parents’ to visit for an hour.

Soren had an after school pool party at Dean S’s  

Soren, Sebastian, ?, Spencer O, Dean S, Emerson W, Hudson, Titus G, Divyansh, Arjun. 

Elder Cassel has been serving in the vicinity (B2, Sugar Creek, Metfield, Pea Ridge, and Anderson presently) for the past 6 months. He is being transferred down to Springdale, so he and his comp stopped by to say goodbye (for now). His comp, Elder Fulmer, will be in cave springs. Reese and Logan have them Crumbl cookies and I gave them both one last haircut. 

I took Corbin and Soren out to lunch at the Rolling Taco and Priatta Pizza food trucks. Soren’s food palate is very similar to mine. It’s amazing. He will eat tacos for days and also needs a dozen limes. 

I don’t get smokes for photos right now out of these two. It’s tragic. During lunch, Corbin got a Splash Assassins text notification of a “purge”. This means no immunity with goggles, and anyone can kill anyone, not just the target you are assigned. We drove right past a hair salon on our drive home. Corbin mentioned that one of the girls left in the game’s location said she was inside. 

I immediately pulled into the parking lot, Corbin grabbed his spray bottle and walked inside. He returned smiling 2 minutes later and said “there are now only 4 people left between me and victory, mom.” 

We came home to Ammon waiting at the house with cookies he and Tiffany made for me. Love! The three of them headed over to Lowe’s to try to get someone else out (they failed). 

I made a killer dinner home homemade french bread, roasted bacon wrapped green beans, and grilled pork tenderloin with a dipping sauce (mayo, sour cream, garlic, Worcestershire, stone ground mustard, pepper). 

Logan, Aaron, Ryan, and Soren hooped, Bear went to watch a movie with Max Minkler, and the little girls and I made banana muffins. 

Reese pulled out a photo album and too this cutie pic of Aaron and I. We also passed Aaron’s mission album around the table and everyone had black hands from the fire soot on it after 😂 

Littles and Aaron went to bed, Corbin went to Dad Ball at the Bella vista bldg, and I stayed up to watch a sci fi movie called Arrival with Reese, Logan, Ryan, and Soren. 

Summer will be so good to us.
