Summer fun

First off. I did a burr hole. I kept the drill. Really interesting that such a technically specific procedure can be and needs to be done by hand and a hand drill.

Tessa is such a cute little girl. Such a big energetic spirit. She's so funny. Amazing how much personality fits into such a tiny person. Bridget calls her my mini me. Maybe.

Emmy is my little photographic memory photogenic wonder. This girl is the funniest and has the most interesting insight. Really need to watch what you say around her. She won't forget. I really need to start writing down all the stuff she says. Such an imagination and so freaking hilarious.

We spend a lot of time in the pool here. This really is a nice pool and nice house. But I'm excited about moving back to our good friends in Richmond. And being close to family again.

Totem pole and swimming in the rain.

Kids are really funny.

My little booger is turning into a big booger.

I've discovered dipping apples in peanut butter and Nutella is like making a candy apple.

We finished second Nephi so to celebrate we went to Chuck E Cheese's.

So I'm pretty good at spiderbot. I can put a token in and get 25-70 tickets each time. Eli knew this and gave me tokens to turn into tickets. After we were out of tokens we started to count tickets. Eli took five tickets and traded Dora for a token and had me win spiderbot. He has the makings of a wheeler and dealer. He turned 5 tickets into 25 tickets.

End result

Eli 235 tickets

Dora and Tessa pooled 215

Emmy 85

I had 200. Gave Emmy half and the girls half. Eli was smart enough to have me work for him so 100 of his tickets were from me.

All in all the kids have fun. Jacob is a short book. Then Enos. Jarom. Omner. Himni. Words of Mormon. Man. I'm gonna be going to chuck e cheese a lot.
