Silly big kids.  We were ready to play games before bed and they were being all giggly.

We had an amazing D&D session.  It was so funny.  There were magic potions, size changing badgers, ninjago snake guys, etc.... it was fun.

Sam and Jer and training for a half marathon together.  It's Sam's first one, but Jer said that he's doing amazingly.  

Evelyn and I got to go on a temple date together to the Mt Timp temple.  That was fun.  I haven't been to that one in ages.

My mom, Evelyn and I went to the Snow White ballet together.  It was so cute.  Evelyn LOVED the dwarfs and was talking about how she would love one of their roles and how she knew which dwarf was which.  It was fun to be with these two wonderful women.

Jer and I went to the symphony with Jim, Amy, Jon and Isabelle (first time goer).  It was pretty and rainy.... including a double rainbow right above the newly finished (outside) Salt Lake temple.

But along with the rain, our neighborhood flooded again.  Our house, our neighbor's home and the row of town homes all needed to be bailed out.  Nick made the comment, "Thank you for coming to our annual 100 year storm clean up.  I really wish that we could nail down a day for it."

Jim and Jer working on trains.

Evelyn and I have been seeing a specialist about her eyes.  They want to detach the muscles from both eyes, straighten them out and reattach them again.  She's trying to decide what to do.  I'm trying to research the surgeon.

Birthdays and errands

Took Ada for a pre college hair cut.... She's looking nice and pretty!

This little guy kept me company while I got the van tires patched up.  

Jer is amazing and made these for his mom and for Cristina.  They turned out so pretty.

We got to celebrate Judy's birthday with some of the Hansens, Brashers and a Morisse.

Cute second cousins

Ada. my helper!

Syl likes to watch Jer's trains.

 

The last little bit

The last bit has been filled with Jer's new calling, eye doctor, orthodontist appointments, dance, Ada's job, carpooling Mia and Chris, helping find an apartment, wrestling, two weddings, soccer, Sam's practice Stats AP test (got a 4 out of 5) and the big boy train came through town. 

Jim, Jer and Seth got to see the Big Boy.  I'm sad that we all couldn't go.  It was so fun last time but Seth hadn't been born yet.  I'm glad he got to see it.

Lizzie's wedding. 

Ada and I planted flowers, veggies and tied back the roses as well as released lady bugs.  That was fun.

Carpooling buddy.

Seth was a fan of Ada's job.

We took turns picking each other up.  I could almost pick up Seth, but Ada, Sam and Evelyn could all pick up Dad.

Seth's legs were too short to pick up Ada.

Mia Sandwich.

Robyn took Mesh and I to a play for our birthdays.  She really is a person who cares about those around her.
