Another socially distant birthday party for one of Lilly’s friends
Jed getting loved on/ climbed on by part of his fan club
Grandpa Egbert brought some of the horses down from the canyon and Beth and Ellie HAD to have a ride
Documenting how big Clara and Lincoln are next to Uncle Jed before he leaves for awhile. 
A bike ride on the parkway trail with a pit stop and leg stretching for the trailer riders
All Beth needed to learn how to ride her bike on two wheels was her cousin Ridge, who is her age, to come show her. 
Warm enough weather that the kids thought,” It is so hot, we need a water day.” 
Lilly and Lucy’s turn by Uncle Jed 
We broke our social distant rules to get together and wish Jed well on his adventure for the next little while. It was great to see and be around more family for a few hours that day. We sure will miss this fun loving silly guy.
Well Ellie might not miss him too much. Hopefully when he’s back she will find out how cool he is. 
Lucy got to make a paper chain with one piece of paper for a school assignment. She might have gotten a little competitive.  It was 36’5”. I think the next closest was 26”.
Ellie and Beth found grandpa while he was working one day and went for a bumpy ride. The skid steer is not as nice a ride as the tractor for them. 
Ellie greeting Evelyn one morning. These two are the best teasing buddies.
Luckily, Grandpa has big arms and a big heart and is willing to have sidekicks on some of his projects.

Really, what do kids do who do not have a grandpa with tractors? I think there are any essential element of a good childhood. Does he let you drive it every once in awhile? You're grown up, after all. That photo of Evelyn giggling with her best buddy is so cute. Your teenagers are glamorous. Sounds like you're keeping up with all this social distancing and yet meeting friends and family. You guys are great.

Fun pictures! I'm with Paige about the tractors. So much fun to have a grandpa with tractors!

Yay for Beth learning to ride a bike! So cute on that tiny little bike. How old is she???

And Lucy's super-long paper strip was the best! That is quite a feat.

California here we come

By
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

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...

Conversations with Lucy

Lucy-" Mom, Do you know what you can't do?" Mom-"No, what?" Lucy-" You can't put root beer in the microwave. You can't put it in the microwave or else it will explode." Mom- " Is that right?" Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
