Livin’ it, Livin’ it up

We made it through summer and I feel like Gunner looks in this picture. This was a big week for us with lots of milestones. 

Tuesday before school started Daryl got a back to school haircut. 
Lucy had her first volleyball game of the season and Ruth tested out how good she looks in Ellie’s hat. Pretty good.
After volleyball, we went to back to school night at the elementary and met all the teachers the younger kids will have. It put them to ease a little more about Thursday.
Lilly and I finished helping Avery with her quilt. Just in time for them to move in to their apartment. 
Wednesday Lucy started 10th grade.

Glen had his first day at Herriman with students in the building. He found Lincoln and Topher but didn’t impress Lucy with the pictures he sent. 
In return she sent him pictures of his former coworkers that she gets to be at school with. It’s going to be fun to see how this year goes with them and their school rivalry.



Thursday Daryl started 6th grade, Ruth 4th grade and Beth 1st grade. 
Thursday afternoon once Lilly had some sleep we took most of her stuff down to her apartment. She wasn’t feeling the best. She ended up coming back home with me to get more sleep. Then Glen took her down to her apartment later to drop off a few more things and in time for her to go to work.

Friday the little girls and I weren’t feeling the best. They stayed home from school and we tested for Covid but it was negative. Just the back to school bug. 
Ruth and Beth entertained themselves partly by drawing these cherries.  That wasn’t how the second day of school was suppose to go but such is life. 
Saturday we started cleaning rooms so we could do a bed swap. The little girls wanted the bunk bed back and Lucy wanted the day bed or something other than the bunk bed. That started a whole new project we are still working on. 
That’s enough for one week though.

Yay for school starting. The photo banter between Lucy and Glen cracked me up.

I loved the texting between Lucy and her dad. Really cute! I also love it that Glen already knows some kids at his new school. All the moving of furniture and children makes me tired to think about. But it's so exciting for Lilly to get her first apartment!! Love the quilt! I got a back to school bug too. It has been rough. I hope yours doesn't last as long as mine has. Daryl's haircut looks awesome. What a cute kid.

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

By
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!"
