The last couple of weeks

This picture below seems rather fitting of the past couple of weeks. We are trying to navigate our way through our fall line up. It seems a bit tricky. 
Good things to remember through it all are helpful neighbors  that will listen to my reading kindergartener and try to help him to do/like homework. 
Children being helpful...some more than others. 
Fun pictures by Lucy.
Writing your name on your arms just incase you forget it. (It is probably backwards but she has it down!)
A lovely fall FHE picnic at the park.
This little one navigated the patio tile steps with out injury or my suppervision. So happy that ended well and then she was off to explore more.
Selfies to keep sassy demanding three year olds happy.
A climbing everywhere baby which means she is healthy and well. If it is elevated from the floor she will try her darnedest to climb it. 
Also Beth is walking. A couple days after turning 11months she got it. She had been able to do two or three steps for probably two weeks or more. She's off now... And life is even more interesting.
Another helper who is actually pretty good at it. Here she unloaded the dryer and loaded things from the washer in the dryer. Then she thought what had been in the dryer would be good to have two washes. We'll work on that part. 
Fall activities. Lucy is trying volleyball and loving it. Lilly Daryl and I have started Irish dance.
In whatever free time I have, I have been learning more on how to run my aunt's long arm quilting machine,mostly the computerized part.
And Evelyn and Roberta. They are still going, though Evekyn thinks it could be getting time to kick the bucket. 
She also told me that when her pajama pants fall off of her in bed, that's when she needs a new pair of pants. 
Oh she is a fun one! We are trying to enjoy them for as long as we get to have them around.

I especially love the ones of your baby in places she probably shouldn't be. And I want to be a fly on the wall for volleyball and Irish dance! Or maybe just a helper for you. That would be better, wouldn't it?

I admire your ability to tend so many "irons in the fire" with patience and good humor!

Ruth's decorated arms and beautiful face with the curl on her forehead -- such a great picture! What darling people!

I'm glad you're keen to learn new things.

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....
