Lilly's note

I haven't posted anything about Lilly and I was thinking I should come up with something for her (not that it would be hard)  but she did the work for me. A couple of days ago Lucy was playing with Glen's ipod on our bed and Lilly really wanted a turn so she kept bugging Lucy asking if she could have a turn or to let her see the ipod. Glen got sick of her asking so he told her she couldn't talk to Lucy anymore about the ipod because it was Lucy's turn and when she was done Lilly could have a turn.   So what did she do . . . 
She went out to the kitchen got a post-it note and wrote Lucy a note all by herself.

Then she came back into  our room and gave Lucy the note.   Glen saw the note and asked her who helped her with it. She told him no one.  So he asked her how she knew how to spell the words and she told him she just sounded them out.  We didn't think she did too bad for a four year old.
 And what adds to this is that Lilly got the ipod within a couple minutes of giving Lucy the note.
It wasn't because Lucy could read the note though- she is 2!

The whole thing just makes me laugh! She must get the smarts from Glen! 
She is such a fun kid to have and completely too smart for her own good. I sometimes wonder what she will do in kindergarten. To dote on her more, yesterday she came out and read stories to Lucy before preschool instead of watching t.v. without even being asked!

That is truly adorable. I love reading your prodigy progeny's phoenetic performance.

By the way, Glen's mom and dad would really like reading your blog -- have you shown them?

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

 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

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....
