Anthony and I are in the middle of teaching a temple prep class this month and next. We've really enjoyed getting to know the group of people that come to class. There is a couple preparing to get sealed and three young men with mission calls who attend with their mothers. Many thanks to my parents and our friends that watch our kids for two hours Sunday night while we teach.

I tried a
new recipe on Monday that both Anthony and I really, really enjoyed. The kids on the other hand were not impressed. Will told me that "grownups make him cry" when they make him eat yucky food. Sometimes I find it really amusing that my kids think I am torturing them when I serve them delicious food, but usually it's just annoying.

This week was hot. We've had such great weather this summer it almost didn't feel like Kansas. This week it was back to "normal." Temperatures in the 90s and high humidity. We visited the pool several times.

Will and Lauren decided to play in the laundry baskets while I was folding laundry Wednesday. Both kids are pretending to be asleep in the "cribs." Lauren's face is especially convincing.

Sometimes I let the kids play at the playground after eating when we eat lunch at the elementary school. Will and Ethan started this game where they throw rubber chips at grasshoppers, bees, moths or other insects they see in the grass.

Our friends told us we could help ourselves to the tomatoes they are growing in their backyard while they were out of town this week. The kids have LOVED going over and looking for ripe tomatoes and TJ and I have LOVED eating fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes.

Anthony's co-worker Kevin and his wife hosted a OPM BBQ tonight for employees and their families at their home. The food was great and after filling up on buffalo chicken dip, watermelon and pulled pork smoked right in their backyard people started playing yard games. Anthony and Will played "hillbilly golf" while Lauren and I played and chatted inside. It was hot and steamy. The weather app on my phone said it was 76% humidity.

Remind me to give you some of our tomatoes if you come to book club next month (or any time, really!) We can never keep up with the production! Ava loves to pick them with me and then immediately eat the little cherry ones. I thinks it's adorable how little kids seem to love gardens :)
Oh my goodness. Nothing beats a fresh from the garden tomato. And I would definitely have eaten that dinner and not cried. All this talk of food is making me hungry. Time for lunch, I think. :)
Hahaha, Will's face! I will definitely have to try that recipe now.
Fresh tomatoes are the best!
