Not quite with it

So... you can tell I wasn't quite with it this morning when I came home from my neighbors funeral to find that after making brownies for the luncheon I had put the flax seed in the drawer with the measuring stuff instead of back in the fridge.  Just so you know... I love this woman!  Marilyn Stubbs was 75, full of life, always had her nails painted, offered us apples from her tree, made Evelyn a baby blanket, taught me how to read a crochetting pattern, and reminded me of my grandpa because she always offered us cake/ice cream/cookies/etc... even though she had diabetes.  We talked about her childhood, mostly about when she was 16-20.  We talked about her kids and grandkids.  We talked about BYHigh.  We talked about her job and her mission.  We talked about crocheting and craft projects.  And we even talked about the men that she was dating and laughed that she said she was really dating them because she needed projects done around the house and she had found a handy man to do them. We love you Marilyn.  You are my friend and we'll miss you!

On a little happier note, I just wanted to write down some of the cute things the kids have been doing lately.  We went up to help put in a fence with Landon and Katie.  Trevor, my cousin's son, saw his dad's air compressor and asked, "Is that a shrink ray?" (he always wears this red cape and at the moment had on blue gloves too... awesome.) He wouldn't go up the stairs to the bathroom alone either... he's like 5/6.  But Grandpa was there... so "Grandpa ate the monsters, so you're safe."  He goes, "Oh yeah! Okay." And went right up. 

Ada and Lizzie are busy playing away.  I love to hear their giggling and can't wait til Ada and Evelyn can giggle like that together.  Sisters are the best friends! 

We went to Kung Fu Panda 2 last night.  A little long for Sam, but they did really good sitting for the movie.  When we got home Sammy kept saying, "Watch me!" and "Watch this!" and running around and trying to round house kick.  Cute kid.

Poor Jer had to decided between the Beethoven 9th concert in SLC and running the Red Rock Relay this weekend with his brother Jay.  What a hard decision!  But he did it... he's going to take me on a date to hear Beethoven's 9th and we're going to go to the State Fair with Nella for her bday.  I think it will be fun!  Love you Jer!

Evelyn has a new toy... a bear with a blanket body... she just sits and mauls it... stuffing it into her mouth and giggling when you shake it in front of her.  I love that girl.
