Our Lemon....

bush? tree.... it's a tree but a tiny tree.  We were at costco one time in the spring and figured let's try it.  We aren't great growers and their return policy is so good... or that was the rationale. 

But it has been a good little tree and grown and even grew lemons! We were shocked. 

They have turned yellow and everyone has been wanting to pick them... a couple got knocked off with a ball and then there was a branch with three that was so weighed down so Camilla and Luke picked a few.  

They were delicious little lemons... much bigger then our limes. 

Luke said he loved lemon water... and wanted mostly lemon... and thought it was delicious. 

A Backyard Concert.

It was an evening concert so we needed the lights... Luke was thrilled to need to find the extension cord. 

and then the concert began... the correct way with etiquette expectations at a concert. 

and then they started the music... the playlist with 11 songs... which we cut down quite a bit. 

Luke had his own part too. 

There were even lifts...

and Luke went after them with bean bags...

He thought it was funny. 

There was a costume change... and the sun was about down....

Then there were bows. 

Front row hammock seats were pretty good. 

The Primary Program.

Why are we taking pictures? Because it's the primary program?  oh... 

It was still Luke Jr. Zander's birthday and he was all dressed up for church and some thought he needed to continue to be in the picture... Just the cutest little family picture... with Luke Jr. Zander.  I still may hang it up on his wall. I mean it's his kid.... ha. 

Since Luke Jr. Zander would not get out we took Luke out. 

Camilla said her part and waited at the microphone until it was completely finished, sang beautifully and sat nicely.  

This was Alivia's last primary program and she played the piano for the entire thing, even the closing song with the congregation.  She had her own long part too and memorized that just like her brother and sister. 

Just the family.  

We finally got Luke Jr. Zander to be the smile maker...

Luke did his part clearly in the microphone and didn't sing much... he sat right in front of where Liv was on the piano and she helped him to sit up a couple of times.  Overall pretty good sitting. 

Grandma and Grandpa Webb came to the program and we found out more people that we know.  Our neighbor came and sat with us too as Chad found her amongst the audience.  Camilla sat on Grandpa's lap before it was time to go up and Luke was a bit wild... Liv wasn't sure when to go up and start playing the "walk up" song so she hurried on up after the sacrament and waited nicely.  They all did a great job!

After church our friend Katherine just had a baby Luke... So we were talking to them.  Luke came over and just looked and looked and we told him his name... he said Oh. Little Luke and Big Luke.  Cute!

Jeff had mentioned that Kristie had gummy bears for Alivia (Kristie made her cry last week.... not really but we teased her for it) and Camilla delivered them and we all shared. 

It was nice to be over... but Luke still tells us his part many mornings in the car... or at the store... or anywhere. 

Luke Jr. Zander's Birthday.

 Luke's baby doll, Luke Jr. Zander had a birthday Sunday morning.  So the kids decided they needed to celebrate and made doughnuts for it, with sprinkles and candles too.  They had big plans and made it happen. 

Just making sure the glaze is good...

Luke Jr. Zander got dressed in his church clothes for the big day.
