There can be miracles

 This week seemed like a normal busy week. Upon further inspection there were a lot of good things going on and little or big miracles.

Sunday my mom and two of her sisters went away for a few days. We are always trying to get her to take a break so it was wonderful she did.

Monday was the last night of Lilly's MDT review. It was even better than the first night. Lucy kindly watched the younger kids so I could go with Glen. It was great to be able to sit and enjoy all of the work those kids put in to the performance.   

A couple other things that were cool about that night are- Mr. Jasperson, that choreographed one of the numbers came to watch and talked to the kids a little before and after the show. The other thing is one of the parents recorded the show and shared the Youtube link.   
Here is a list of the numbers and minute marks she is in, to save you time.   
Opening number- she has gold pants on,
song #2- 3:37-How I Saved Roosevelt from Assassin- some solo parts,  
song #4-11:33- Six months out of Every year from Damn Yankees- center back row with arms up at the beginning, 
song#7-26:05- Sing from A Chorus Line- in chorus line,
song #8-28:45 Prologue from Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812-she comes on stage at 31:35,
Song #10-38:11-Predator from Jagged Little Pill- middle row right side of stage,
song#11-42:59- Our Time from Merrily We Roll Along- small solo near beginning of song,
song#14- 56:44-Haunted Heart from The Addams Family film- she is in a knee length black dress usually near the back- This is the song Thayne Jasperson choreographed
song #16-1:04:40- Fearless from Mean girls- center right on stage with brighter pink cardigan,
song#20-1:21:34- Wait For Me from Hadestown- in ensemble,
song #21-1:31:00- Go the Distance/ Seize the Day a Disney Mashup- ensemble
song #23-1:38:09- Freak Flag from Sherk- small solo near beginning of song as Mama Bear,
Last song-1:49:18- When You Believe from Prince of Egypt- in ensemble

Ali came and stayed with Evelyn Monday night and part of Tuesday. She even did make up on Ellie and Beth which is one of their favorite things ever.


Beth loves Prince our outdoor cat. He tolerates her.

Joe stayed with Evelyn Tuesday night to help out and checked the cameras before I went to bed at 11:15 and they were sitting up talking at the table. It was fun to see them having that time together.

Tuesday Beth insisted on wearing curlers in her hair to school. It was rather funny. 

Wednesday, Marian stayed with Evelyn and let me go work on a quilt my mom pieces and had me quilt for Evelyn’s bed.I am really happy with how it turned out. 

Ruth and Beth got to climb the rope at gymnastics. They ask every day if they get to go back for class. 

This is Ruth on the rope.

Thursday Ruth and I started our classes. I think they will be helpful now Ruth knows the train goes by the school the classes are at and makes it fell like there is an earthquake. It was a bit scary the first time. 

Friday and Saturday had lots of cousin time while Jill was away. I stayed with Evelyn Friday night and then basically all of Saturday, as my mom and dad had Jed’s and Jill’s  kids.

Glen and my kids were troopers at home with out me. They did the Saturday jobs and took a load of stuff to DI and sold other stuff. It’s so nice to have less stuff.

The best thing of the week happen to day. Jill came back and brought Jed with her!!!  They surprised the kids with his early return and they were definitely surprised. There is a sweet relief to have him back home.

My mom and Jed share a birthday on Tuesday so we also celebrated that as well!  The people putting candles on the cheesecake might have gotten carried away. :) When you try to get for every year of two people both over 40 it is a lot. 

  

  

We are all around each other enough that we have decided not to wear masks.

One giant advantage to having had COVID rip through your household: loosening up with family get togethers! I am jealous. Alan has been vaccinated, but we are still being pretty careful because the rest of us aren't. I love that you put in time markers so we can jump to the important parts of the performance! And yes, our little ones are pretty similar people. Hopefully we can get them together maybe this summer. Thank you for sharing your life with me this way. I love it.

Your whole family pulls together to take such great care of Evelyn. The quote you made for her is a masterpiece and the best part is the genuine love. The colour choices so appealing, too. Having Jed come back from deployment must have made the entire family shiny and bright. We have a little experience with that and it makes an enormous difference.

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!"
