Livin’ it, Livin’ it up

We made it through summer and I feel like Gunner looks in this picture. This was a big week for us with lots of milestones. 

Tuesday before school started Daryl got a back to school haircut. 
Lucy had her first volleyball game of the season and Ruth tested out how good she looks in Ellie’s hat. Pretty good.
After volleyball, we went to back to school night at the elementary and met all the teachers the younger kids will have. It put them to ease a little more about Thursday.
Lilly and I finished helping Avery with her quilt. Just in time for them to move in to their apartment. 
Wednesday Lucy started 10th grade.

Glen had his first day at Herriman with students in the building. He found Lincoln and Topher but didn’t impress Lucy with the pictures he sent. 
In return she sent him pictures of his former coworkers that she gets to be at school with. It’s going to be fun to see how this year goes with them and their school rivalry.



Thursday Daryl started 6th grade, Ruth 4th grade and Beth 1st grade. 
Thursday afternoon once Lilly had some sleep we took most of her stuff down to her apartment. She wasn’t feeling the best. She ended up coming back home with me to get more sleep. Then Glen took her down to her apartment later to drop off a few more things and in time for her to go to work.

Friday the little girls and I weren’t feeling the best. They stayed home from school and we tested for Covid but it was negative. Just the back to school bug. 
Ruth and Beth entertained themselves partly by drawing these cherries.  That wasn’t how the second day of school was suppose to go but such is life. 
Saturday we started cleaning rooms so we could do a bed swap. The little girls wanted the bunk bed back and Lucy wanted the day bed or something other than the bunk bed. That started a whole new project we are still working on. 
That’s enough for one week though.

Yay for school starting. The photo banter between Lucy and Glen cracked me up.

I loved the texting between Lucy and her dad. Really cute! I also love it that Glen already knows some kids at his new school. All the moving of furniture and children makes me tired to think about. But it's so exciting for Lilly to get her first apartment!! Love the quilt! I got a back to school bug too. It has been rough. I hope yours doesn't last as long as mine has. Daryl's haircut looks awesome. What a cute kid.

I watched this video and it sealed the deal on this post. I have all sorts of things I could write about, but this has been at the front of my mind for a while. I have really been affected this past year by the divorces of two different couples I know. Not that, I haven't known any one before that has gotten divorced. These have just hit closer to home. One of them is Glen's boss, and Glen has worked with him lately. (This is not the norm. He can go months with out seeing him. He just goes in to work, sees what he's doing that night and goes out.) In working with him, they have talked about stuff and something he said to Glen has really made me think. I wasn't there but it was something to the extent of, "You guys are so lucky, because you love each other, just really love each other." My first thought to this was- yes, yes we do. Then I thought how sad that he and not every married couple have that. The just of all of this rambling is that I love my ...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
