Stay ‘Goated’

Just before we left on our Washington trip, Levi had to say goodbye to one of his closest friends as he left on a mission. I’m not sure how Levi will manage without his good friend to have crazy deep talks with, but I hope he can still have a fabulous Senior year.

Speaking of Senior status, one of the perks of being a senior at Centennial is that you can get a senior parking spot that is all yours to paint however you like. We told the kids they had to buy their own if they wanted one and Cade didn’t care about it enough to do one but Levi did. I don’t think they did them when Reagan was a senior. Levi designed his based on the amazing mountain goat that wouldn’t leave his territory when the YM were camping in it this summer. Here’s the picture by way of reminder:

It was an awesome design and Libby and a friend of hers helped him paint it. It took several days and was quite the undertaking, but they finished just before we left for WA and it is Awesome!

If you don’t know what on earth “Goated” means, don’t worry, neither did I. It comes from the acronym G.O.A.T-Greatest of All Time.

And speaking of school, here’s the first day of school pictures. They were done a little differently this year because on the first day of school our house was shrouded in plastic because it was being painted. I grabbed a picture of Levi as he left for school out the back that day but Libby had left really early for a student council event and I didn’t even get one of her that day! I finally got one on the front porch of the two kids about a week later.

I spent all of July picking paint colors for the house and when they finally finished I couldn’t even look I was so nervous I would hate it. But I love the finished product! We still have to put the shutters back up, but I’m really happy with it.
