Father's Day!
He is a good Dad.
They all filled out an "All about Dad" questionnaire
(which was hilarious as he read them out loud to us)
and the 2 older ones also wrote him sweet letters.
A Father's Day tradition I began a few years back :)
He threw himself in the pool with Chester :)
Bounty from the Clay Collins Garden
basil
The gazebo is up and just needs the roof!
more homemade pots by Clay with all the herbs
thai basil
the abundant mint
english thyme
Chester's bell pepper plant
the cantaloupe is going bonkers
tomatoes
last week was filled with playing in the pool and getting this one ready for college...filling out all the paperwork to play basketball is huge! We got word she can head up to SLO but the protocols are very intense.
I can't believe she'll be leaving in a month.
Also, her face looks like 6 year old Lucy here :)
I sat and waited for my hummingbird friends
there are two hummingbirds that buzz around playfully, swooping in and out of the flowers. After I put the feeders out, I can watch them more!
They like this flat disk feeder best :)
putting together 3 of their subscription kits...we made it a competition.
Audrey had the lamp, Chester the calendar,
Henry the desk...turns out the desk was the easiest!
They told Lucy to take it with her to college, haha.
Clay and I have also been perfecting our plate lunch since he got us a grill :)
taking Lucy's ID photo for Cal Poly :)
Dang it, we are going to miss her!
San Diego day to celebrate a very special little guy!
Audrey and Henry playing with the preschoolers, haha
Avery and Chester playing all afternoon together :)
my Dad beaming while talking to Mark
Cute last pic of the day with kids of their cousins but we just call them all cousins :)
And a report on the pandemic: It is still spreading in Los Angeles County.
I filled out a form regarding learning preferences for school starting in the fall.
Not an option for "go back to school everyday".
Businesses are opening back up, masks are worn everywhere, we continue to just stick around home and beaches.
People seem to be going back to normal but it's just not normal.
They aren't acting normal at all!
It is stunning to realize how quickly government exercised the authority to shut everything down.
Yes, for good reasons.
Absolutely.
But now, I'm left wondering why everything feels so cherry picked.
Why do leaders seem so permissive on both sides of the coin?
I am deeply grateful for our prophet, President Nelson who has showed true leadership in a world which lacks truth telling.
We can say what we believe but until we live it daily and teach our children what is important
...then it won' t really matter.
Good things to come?
I really hope so
