the summer season is upon us…

  Curtis, the eldest of the Goff children worked on his eagle scout project,

and then headed out west for the Stake handcart pioneer trek, completely delighted to have his camera-wielding mother follow him  (for the record, I did ask him if he would like to have suspenders like some of the fellow pioneers in front of him—he said “no”,  I said “whatever”)…

Kylie, aka Miss Pink Sparkly Hat, had her debut as a background singer in her class production about traveling to Mars; of course I’m sure that was the topic you figured the play would be about with the sparkly hats and all…

Morgan anticipated the blessed day when she would be getting her driver’s license (still a few years off) and if she is so lucky, she may actually be able to pilot our beloved blue “driveable wheelbarrow”…

Cael remained a little unsure about his feelings after his first tooth “just fell out.”  It had been loose for about a month and the time had come.  There’s still some work to do on the toothless grin front…

  Kendell played shoulderbag model for her mom’s first (hopefully not completely last, who knows) original bag…

while I’ve tried to make other people jealous with my finely manicured nails, but hooray, my “Mongo Flower Carry All” pattern is d-o-n-e- DONE!!
