This Instagram account may as well be known as The Lucy Show. It would be a pretty accurate description of things around these parts.

It's a little hard to see without context, but we were at church and David snapped this photo ... Austin is storing his gumballs in his mask. So they are safe and hidden and he can eat them just by opening his mouth. 😂😆 #masklife

He knows how to make his circumstances work for him.

This girl turned NINE yesterday. We had a wonderful day but by the end, she seemed to have aged two whole years. She woke up the same as her 8 year old self and ended the day as a mature 9 year old. It's baffling to me how one day can make such a huge difference.

We love this Lydia girl and we are so grateful for her kind, funny, adventurous self.

My first real post-covid outing. Carmen at the Utah Opera. Masks and health screeners and social distanced seating and a minimal cast - but it was SO great to be back at a large event like this,. especially when the venue was the beautiful Capitol Theater. ❤️💃🎉

Grateful for this lady and her friendship in my life. I love the ministering program for a lot of reasons, but especially because it brought me this relationship that I just wouldn't have had otherwise.

How do you celebrate the end of a successful year of learning and growth? Why a homeschool-Lagoon day of course.

I'm so proud of these kiddos and the great year that they've had. Covid made lots of things tricky but they worked hard and have had a great year.

All these end of school posts can get tricky, everyone posting their highlights and successes. It's one of the hardest times of the year for me to be on social media because the opportunity for comparison is so strong. But it's okay for us to celebrate the successes that are our own as we cheer for those around us. So, great job winding down another year, my friends. It takes a lot of work and you've done great.

And yay for summer!
