Sly properly accompanying me while I submit my daycare food claims.  She was sitting on the one little tiny slit of table that was clear of all my papers and projects.

Poor Sam learned a hard lesson this week.  To back up slowly and check your distance in the parking lot.  Sam's Jazz band played at the city's farmer's market.  I didn't know about it until last minute, so Sam went on his own.  He was pretty tired and in a rush to get home.  He backed up into a truck in the parking lot.  The truck got a scratch on the bumper and light, but our van was a little worse for the wear.  I tried to get the window replaced, they said they couldn't replace it without fixing the dent.  We had an appointment for the mechanic to fix something else so we took it there first.  That took a week and didn't get fixed.... so we took it to the body shop.  They popped out the dent and put in a windsheild, but there is broken glass in the door so it rattles when you open it now.  Now it's sitting waiting for the mechanic.  The life of an old car.  We almost bought a new one, but we're hoping this makes it through Evelyn learning to drive next year.

Seth and I had our Primary Program.  We had a whole bunch of visitors and it was so nice.  My parents, Jer's parents, Joseph Brasher and Joe Tarkington.  It was Seth's last Primary program and the Wed after the program, they released me as the chorister.... so it might have been my last one too.  I've been so lucky to have been able to serve in callings with all 4 of my kids.  I was Sam's Primary teacher for two years, Ada's and Evelyn's Young Women's leader and Seth's Primary chorister.  I loved being with all of them.

Ada crocheted a hat for her Perry the Platypus, but it fits the cats pretty well.

President Nelson died this week. I love the testimony that he's left with us.  The three High Schoolers were invited to wear their Sunday best to school in remembrance.   I only got a picture of Evelyn, but they all three said that it was a great experience.  Evelyn also got to play for Seminary for the first time.  I'm so proud of her.  Accompanying with instruments is a different skill to master.

Conference weekend, Ada and I began the day nice and early with a fall photoshoot up at Cascade for her graduation photos.  Then we listened to the first session in the car and the rest with our family at home. We did get to join Jer's parents for the Sunday evening session and my parents for a Conference chat and dinner for family night.  I love this tradition.  It's so nice to be with Grandparents.
