Bear Lake work week

Because our cabin is an extended family property, we all pitch in for bills and work projects.  Currently, we are building a set of three new bathrooms. One set of cousins put in the plumbing, one poured the cement, one built the outside of it... they're putting together the insides now.... and we waterproofed and painted the outside while we were there.  And built an outdoor show for rinsing off after swimming. My parents made sur that Evelyn had a birthday song and a birthday banner.  It was cute.  And we went for shakes for her birthday dessert.

I was joking that they looked like that Gothic Americana painting...  and then there was a giant lightning strike that surprised the heck out of us.

These two updated the first aid kit.

We worked so hard that we went to enjoy some pizza afterwards.

Jer serviced the lawn mower.

 

My birthday

Birthday this year, none of us had to work, so I decided to take everyone to the sheepdog championships and watch the duck herding events.  But in the morning, Sam got to be part of the memorial day program put on by they city at the cemetery. It was neat to see and I love watching Sam play. He finished and I met some of the others that played in the band while Sam helped the percussionist load the truck.... and came back with a sore and red hand. The wheels had come off the bass drum and smashed his hand/wrist.  Since we were going to Bear Lake, we felt like it would be wise to make sure that it wasn't broken.  Jer took Sam to get an Xray and I went to take a birthday nap.  We missed the sheepdog thing, so we stayed home and played card games and set up a backyard movie with Beth's family.  Ada made me a sugar free birthday cake and we had fun timing lighting birthday candles with wind gusts. I had a fun day.

 

birthdays and the weekend

We've had some very busy and good days lately. Last weekend we celebrated our Evelyn turning 15 with some friends coming over for games and ice cream.  She was so cute and bubbly the whole time. Sam played prelude for church on Sunday, then we drove up to celebrate Jordan's birthday.  What cute and growing cuties!  We also all got to go do baptisms at the Lindon temple all together for the first time.  It's fun to have out new temple and a blessing to go with my family!  I love these crazies with everything in me.
