Oh, I have so many posts to write but life is coming fast these days it seems and instead of sitting at a computer  I am off other places usually chasing children (or at least tracking them down) and tending to old people.  A few note worthy things that will have to do for now are -

Lilly started orchestra at school. She is learning to play the viola. She is also signed up for some lacrosse clinics and in a gymnastics class once a week.

With Lilly playing an instrument practicing is a requirement. Mom and Dad decided they should be good examples too so we are trying to practice our instruments now too, instead of letting them just sit and collect dust. It's fun.  I like it already.

Lucy is in tumbling once a week now. I think we will end up switching her to gymnastics but it was a step in the right direction to get her in a class.

Daryl is 3. It is hard to believe. I have lots of pictures of his antics. I have a feeling it is going to be an interesting year with him. I love him but I can already tell that our relationship is going to be stretched and tested a bit. Oh, that boy. Good thing he is so cute and fun.

Ruth is 6 months old. It doesn't seem possible but yet it is. She is a busy little girl, that has found her voice and loves to wiggle. She just seems to want to be doing what everyone else is like walking and feeding themselves and whatever else we do. She rolls and army crawls and planks. She is going to be off and soon as she gets her hands and feet working together. Oh dear.

Glen is as wonderful as ever. Between his jobs, school, and church calling he still finds time to love us and spend time with us and help out friends. What a great guy!

What are yours and Glen's instruments? Sounds like things are busy! I totally forgive you for not blogging!

I was going to say the exact same thing as Kirsta. I'm impressed you are all practicing.

Glen plays the guitar and I make attempts at the piano.

Eventually, there will be a day when you can add tons of Daryl photos to this post. I hope so, anyway. For now -- thanks for writing words. It's a boost to catch up, and learn that most mothers are busy like me.

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....
