Hey family!!! Mom asked us to write on the blog today while she was at her meeting so here we are. Just be prepared for a lot of exclamation points and a LOT of incorrect grammar and punctuation.
This week was FIRE!!! (Fire in teen lingo means awesome.)
Monday: We just chilled. Our homeschool co-op is now over so our Mondays are not quite as busy. Alex, Jack and Peter went down to Pocatello for a Spikeball match. They really love that sport. (Heh, heh, heh, heh... Panicked laughter)
Tuesday: Ian went and hung out with friends downtown. (His new favorite place to be.) Alex and Elise left that evening for a late anniversary date night. They got dinner at a new restaurant here in town and hiked the Menan Bute. Afterwards they stayed the night in an old, renovated train car. They had a blast! The boys stayed home and got drinks at a local soda shop, had a little dance party and didn't burn down the house. (Woop woop!)
Wednesday: We went over to the Nilsson's house for our weekly Geography and Shakespeare lessons. The country's in our world have strange names. . . and Shakespeare wrote some very beautiful and also very disturbing plays. Jack and Ian wen't to the movie theater with some of their friends that night. They had a blast!!! Those kids are adorable.
Thursday: Joe's Family (Joe, Grace, Grant.) came up for the weekend which was probably the highlight of our ENTIRE WEEK! They came in the afternoon and we had good conversations while Ian and his friend got headshots for their acting resumes. Ian is getting serious about this whole acting thing. (Heh, heh, heh, heh. Panicked laughter) But all joking aside it has been so cool to see this kid progress in the thing he loves to do most. Thursday night Peter, Jack and Alex had a Spikeball match and while they were playing in the rain we thought we'd go rock climbing the nearby Indoor climbing gym. It was so FIRE! Grace was the star of the show and she climbed those HUGE walls like there was no tomorrow. I think she's giving Cam a run for his money.
Friday: We went to the same movie that Jack and Ian went to on Wednesday. It was so funny! You guys have got to see: The Bad Guys. So cute! Addy joined us which was so fun! We love hanging out with her. Afterwards we went to an escape room downtown which we SLAYED! (Played means to conquer, win, be the best, etc.) That was Joe's family's first time and they had so much fun! But afterwards we had to say goodbye so that Joe could get back to the rest of the fam. That night Jack, Peter and Alex left for Utah for . . . you guessed it! A Spikeball Tournament.
Saturday: They boys played all day in the sunny weather of Provo Utah. Ian worked while Elise went over to help Ruthie set up a drip system. Afterwards Ian and Elise went downtown to support a local bookstore who was having a party to celebrate national Independent Bookstore Day. (Seriously there is a holiday for everything now.) There was good, live music, fun people and later they went and tried a new vietnamese cuisine restaurant. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! They boys came home late that night very sunburned buuuutttttt. . . VICTORIOUS! Peter got 1st place in his devision! He is so happy and we are so proud of him!!!
Sunday: And now we're resting. From a crazy but fabulous week. These are the days we live for. When we can be with the ones we love and let life do it's thing. We hope y'all have a great week and we hope to hear from all of you very soon!
Keep on being AMAZING! Love you all! xoxoxo
