Week in Review...June 2, 2019

Anna found this cute picture of Haley in her room, during their move...

Abby being her usual monkey self. She's literally holding herself up by her arms and legs, shes super strong!

Haley and Ashlyn had the amazing experience of going on Trek from Wednesday to Friday. They had an amazing time, ate lots of great food, worked hard, played hard and learned that they can do hard things!

Meanwhile, Abby and I played at the park. Her friend Holly was at the park one night too...

Carrie and I found a splash pad and did some detective work figuring out how to turn it on. The kids enjoyed it...

After swimming for 2 hours on Saturday the kids are always cold no matter how warm it is outside. We are having unseasonably cool temps, and we aren't complaining! We have been in the 80's and 90's this last week, we are finally going to hit 100 this coming week. It's been a mild start to the summer to say the least. We are loving it!

The sweetwater experience...

And they made it home safe and sound!

This week the kids started swim team, which begins at 6:30 am! Jacob is doing dive team and Ashlyn is doing Jr. Lifeguarding this summer so they are busy. Girls camp is in 2 weeks and we are already spending lots of time at the pool. Rick has been studying for his Arizona Producer Life, Accident/Health/Sickness Insurance license for the last several months. A few weeks ago he took the exam and passed it and is now licensed to sell those types of insurance. The problem that he's finding is that the companies that sell these insurances don't offer medical benefits, but if he gets his Property/Casualty insurance license as well, then he can be hired on to companies that do offer medical benefits. He's had an offer from State Farm Insurance, but they can't hire him until he gets his Property/Casualty license. So he's trying to navigate how to proceed, it will probably take about  a month to study and hopefully pass the next exam. This has opened up a new career field that he's interested in and we are excited to get started. Prayers are always appreciated as we navigate new career waters.
