Look who's three years old!  Hanna would say "My bird day!"  She's been talking so much more in the past few weeks.  Yesterday I got on the skateboard and she said, "Be careful, Dad!"  Ha ha. For breakfast we had cinnamon rolls, bacon, and orange julius.  Hanna got some play doh, a doll stroller, some hair scrunchies, a doctor crash cart, a dress, and a doll from Roman and Paisley.   After breakfast we ran the RC boats in Discovery Bay.  Heidi picked up a raft and kayak on craigslist so the kids wanted to try them out.   Hanna is so stinkin' cute!  Oh, she got some boots, too.   With her dolly   Hanna likes drawing, her dolls, riding her bike, running with the basketball (like a game of tag with me), watching youtube (though we're trying to curb screen time in all the kids) and singing.  Happy birthday, Hanna!  We love you!  

Summer 2020 has been the best summer and the worst summer at the same time.  The best because we moved to Walnut Creek.  The home is bigger and the yard is like our own personal resort, so shelter-in-place has been tolerable since it's enjoyable being at the new home.  It's also been the worst because of pandemic and fear.   Anyway, Blake got baptized on 7/5/2020 in our backyard pool.  It was a unique ceremony since usually they're done at the stake center.   The backyard was definitely the selling point of this home.  I was against a pool because of all the maintenance, and it has been a lot of maintain, but it keeps the kids busy for hours at a time.  With the completion of the solar heating project, we can get it up to 86 degrees in the afternoon.   Sometimes Heidi joins us in the pool  Scott is almost as tall as I am.   We got these tow tubes as part of a package deal and they were a great investment since the "king of the hill" game has lots of variations.  H
